I have about a 105k points, entertaining offers to unload them for cards or other items. hit me up if you are interested. i actively play modo so thats a option also
You should go check out the Discord server. It is full of people looking to trade, and they also have a MTGO area as well.

Wait...??? What is the "Discord" server. I've never heard of it.

Chat room managed by the site with different channels for trading and discussing various topics like their articles, site feedback, different formats, etc. Since I joined it a week ago I have had seven sends come my way (5 if you discount one reciprocal from sending people here stuff and one random send coming my way).
Any chance you could explain this discord business as though I was your grandma and had no clue what it was? Is it a website? An app? I really don't get it lol
It's a chat server (website and phone app). Looks like an entity sets something up with channels and you sign in through a particular network. Try this link. It's free to sign up. That link is the channel where we spam each other with links to our profile. It that doesn't work, at the bottom of every PucaTrade article will be a "discuss this article here (Discord logo)". Click on it, sign up, and it should direct you to the #articles channel. Look for #trades-paper channel. The consistent thing I've noticed is that like pongie noticed, a lot of people are trying to get fairly even reciprocal sends, and people there tend to want users to have an avatar for some reason. If you're just looking to cash out you may be disappointed, but if you're trying to get back to how PucaTrade used to be (#MakePucaGreatAgain), with some persistence you'll get some trades... probably. Hard to say as everyone will have a different experience. I'm getting some stuff in slowly, but I'm also trying to be pretty friendly and chatty there to build up my presence and image as well. No one is rushing in to zero me out, which I highly doubt will happen, but if I can at least start getting points fluctuations I'll be happy.
Edit: Had a Desertion off your list, so there's that.
Thank you very much Cryogen for both the info and response and the Desertion! It might not be much, but it's something and that's better than I've gotten in the past who knows how long. My apologies for being slow to respond as well.

Any Puca trades you can send me would be greatly appreciated! Big want list and lots of points available.
No worries! I've seen a few people from here over there. Discord isn't a magic way to start getting sends but it's probably the best short term solution.
I'm failing to see the appeal in using Discord especially since trades are now reciprocal and even. Why not just go to deckbox? Better inventory system, individual trades with chat, auto match feature are all things that make trading easier than checking the discord chat.
I came here to see if there were any improvements in the site since my $5 a month silver subscription came out of PayPal. I used to think people were crazy for offering 50% bounties on tickets but I think that's exactly what I'm going to do to cash out my remaining points. I see no reason to keep using this site which is a crying shame. It was perfect for small dealers who wanted to trade up and keep their good cards stocked. I would trade foils for Points and then points for Staples.
1 easy thing they could do to help dry up the supply would be to allow people to pay for premium memberships in points. I doubt that they would ever do that. I don't know what else they could offer that would deflate the currency without losing confidence.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
That is a godly package and I will ensure that this guy gets some love via discord!
That's awesome! I've got a fellow Discord user sending me a Twilight Mire and a Sword of Light and Shadow. Joining Discord has certainly helped to get me back into sending and receiving, and it hasn't all been strictly reciprocal trades either.
Quick question about PucaTrade. If list that I want 4 copies of a card, will other traders still be able to send less than 4 copies of that card to me, or will Puca not let them send less than that amount? I've only had 1 instance where more than 1 copy of a card was sent to me since they've implemented that feature and I only asked for 2 copies of the card at that time nor have I had any cards worth sending out, so I haven't been able to test this.

Yes, you can still send out multiple copies. I've noticed that it doesn't do it automatically so perhaps that is part of the reason you get one copy (or perhaps they only have the one copy).
Can I get someone on here to see if my Wants show up on Pucatrade? I've had cards up for 2 weeks now and no one has sent me anything. Name is same as this one (Chainer3). Thanks guys.
Oh I have and Elspeth, Sun's Champion in my Wants if you want to see if you can find me that way.

FWIW, Found you in the "Everybody" list. Not in the "Recommended" filter. Hope that helps.
Has anyone had any luck getting sealed product? When they first introduced it, it seemed like a decent way of unloading points but I haven't seen any movement.

I had literally hundreds on my wants list (spread across lots of sets) for weeks without a single bite.
Finally got someone to buy my points the other day, so I'm finally out.
Someone recently sent me a package that put me at sub 50 point remaining balance. I consider that my indefinite cashout of the site.
I'l continue to monitor pucatrade's situation as well as cardsphere when it comes out, but only to check if it hits the level of use of maybe 2 years ago; then I might consider jumping back in. To me, it was a nice little experiment while it lasted and I certainly got stuff out of it but continuing to invest in Pucatrade, especially with the current management team, is a fool's errand.
I finally caved in and jumped on Discord two days ago... and man, if you're wondering where the old PucaTrade went... it's' in there.
I now have 4.5Kpts of cards going out, and something similar coming back.
And for those who are salty with the site, don't worry - there are plenty of people in there who are too, but are still committed to being generous with their cards.
In my mailbox today I had the following waiting for me, all from Discordians: Twilight Mire, Sword of Light and Shadow, River of Tears, Path to Exile, 2x Demon of Dark Schemes, Inspiring Vantage, Birds of Paradise, Avenger of Zendikar, Saheeli Rai, Insurrection, and a Stranglehold. Some of it was reciprocal, but most of it was just other fellow users.

Yeah, srsly, it's like old times in there. I think being able to chat with others and see that they're not only staying on Puca, but they're legitimately excited to be receiving your cards is a great thing.
Can someone provide a Cliff Notes style guide of how to connect with the community on Discord? Apologies in advance if it's already been posted in this thread.

No, not yet, but I'm happy to do so.
Create an account at discordapp.com.
Sign in, and head over to the PucaTrade Discord server. There are a heap of channels, but you probably want #trades-paper or #trades-mtgo.
Puca Discord etiquette is to include your Puca ID in your username so that people can look up your profile easily.
Chat, have fun, and have the envelopes ready.
Additionally, there are users there who either just post a profile link and don't interact or are obviously trying to cash out, and there are users who want to keep pucatrade going and are there to chat and trade. Be the latter.
You should go check out the Discord server. It is full of people looking to trade, and they also have a MTGO area as well.
