Hey everyone, if you've been trading for a while, sooner or later you're going to make a swap that you think is good at the time, but eventually leaves you wishing you had rubber legs so you could swing all the way around and kick yourself in the butt.

Well, here's a chance to take some of the pain away from those trades by telling us all about it here at TR. We want to give you a chance to laugh at yourself, cry over it, or whatever else you need as free online therapy to help get over it. In return, we're putting together a package of prizes to give out to people we think did a good job of explaining the situation to us. As we gather them together, I'll start listing the prizes here in this first post to let you know what's available.

The rules are kind of loose ... Just tell us about the trade, your feelings about it at the time ... Why you now feel it's your worst trade ever ... Try to make us laugh or feel for you in your darkest hour. All we ask is that you leave out names of who you traded with to avoid hurting feelings. Also, don't include anything that involves an incomplete trade with a thief. This should be all about legit trades that you now regret having made.

Since this is about something that makes you feel foolish, the contest winners will be announced on April Fools' Day. As I get more prizes listed, they'll be added here.
