Trading LE pins

I wanted to run this by you guys to see your thoughts. Here's how I personally trade, but I'm quickly realizing that no one else trades like me and I guess I'm wondering why?
If someone offers me a pin I really want (and it's a limited edition), I truly could care less if they are offering me a LE 500 for my LE 300. To me, it's not so important that they are getting a lower limited edition pin as long as I am getting a pin I really want.
My grail is a LE 50. I've been working on it for a while so I finally just emailed the people on pinpics that have it for trade and two of them emailed me back saying they would only take a LE 50 pin in trade. I emailed them back basically telling them that I would offer up to 20 pins on my traders list (including lots of limited edition 100, 250, 300) but no response. Now, I understand they should be allowed to do whatever they want, but gosh, it just seems like sometimes you would at least consider a trade because it might end up in your favor even though the LE pins might not add up LE50=LE50.
So I guess my question is...when you trade, are you solely focused on making sure edition sizes match up or is it more about what you need for your collection? Anxious to hear everyone's replies.
