New to switchdisks and have a few Questions

I recently signed up with SD and while I like the concept I have only had one trade ( A 10 buck trade of Frailty). I did take advantage of the fast switchbucks offer and mailed in 3 dvd's, but they have not arrived yet. I was wondering why none of the new releases that I listed have not traded yet. They would have traded instantly on Peerflix. I wanted to try SD because I have been buying TV sets and I felt that the PB values on theses was too low. I also want the artwork when I trade sometimes. I have 30-40 DVD's from PB that I would like to trade on SD but because they were mailed with peermailers they are not in pristine condition. (they look like they were run over by a steamroller but they play alright). If I trade these, on SD, will I get bad reveiws? There is no place to add a comment about the condition of the disk. I was also wondering if the "inflated value" of dvd's made people, think twice, about trading even though they get equal value for their trades? I've read about the changes coming up in June and think they will help. Any ideas about the slowness of trading?

Yeah i've noticed things on PF trade faster. I have things listend on SD that would go right away on PF. Maybe its just the number of users on each site.

Trading just the disc shouldn't be a problem just as long as you use a good mailer and they arrive in working condition. DONT use a mailer like the one used on peerflix because you will get bad feedback for sure if it arrives in bad condition.

Obviously peerflix is going to have more members then switchdiscs has only been around for like 2-3 months while peerflix has been around for I think over 2 years. I think this will change within two years as more people learn about switchdiscs.

Maybe your price is too high. Salems Lot for 15 switchbucks? It's listed on Amazon for $4.17 ...

I'm going by their guidlines. If the price were lower I might switch more disks but I would still be switching for expensive ones.
