Observation: Are people trading more than buying?

Trading

I have no data to back this up but I have a thesis that since everyone went all-in on collecting over the last 3+ years that we’ve (myself included) amassed a ton of cards that we don’t PC that we’re trying to move…in bulk?…and the quickest way to do so is to trade: 5 cards out (that you don’t PC) for one card (that you do).

Thus: trades have gone up up up.

Has anyone noticed trades are going UP in the hobby? Don’t get me wrong, I love trading - a lot. But I feel like more and more I’m getting messages for stuff I have for sale asking if I’ll accept trades instead.

Is it happening more and more? Just an observation, curious if anyone else is seeing it as well…
