The Psychology Behind Trading (2 Viewers)

How many days do wait before revoking an offer? Unless it was a mistake, I usually will let the trade offer sit between 3 to 5 days. I figure that is long enough to let someone think on it, otherwise they weren’t interested to begin with and didn’t care to reject it.

I usually set the expire date accordingly to how long I am fine with it being out there. I rarely revoke an offer unless I change gears or want to sent out other offers that would cause issues if both are accepted at the same time.

At this time of year my dynasty league has a variety of times people start getting into the season. Because of this I don't necessarily revoke because sometimes guys aren't quite ready to start focusing on the season yet. I don't understand why not but to each their own.

Depends on the owner somewhat. If I can see the team has been on the site, I’ll assume they saw the trade. I’ll give it a couple hours and then revoke. Otherwise 3-4 days.

You either like the trade or not. If it’s good enough to accept or make a counter, shouldn’t take long to decide that. My pet peeve is teams that seem unable to just hit the reject button and just let the trade sit. It’s not going to hurt my feelings if you reject

Yeah, it's a pittfall in fantasy, the ole' let it expire owners I've had offers that have expired, so I won't let them sit more than three to five days now. I've also had owners email me after it is revoked and either say I was still mulling it over, or they would have accepted. In the latter, I just send it back to them and we make a deal.
