I know Keith implemented the CSC transfer in trades to cut back on the amount of CSC cards on site. However, this method, while useful for trading a small, random amount of CSC, is all you CAN do - trade. You can't SELL the CSC for pure sP and person A setting a junk trade up to get the CSC from person B and then Person B setting a junk trade up for Person A to get the pure sP can be totally risky as it'd be based on pure trust and that's not always the way you want to go. Most players on here are very honest, but on the off chance you get someone that scams you, you're out a lot of real money. The cards that currently are for sale in SS are skyrocketing in price due to them being fewer on site.
It's great if you're just wanting to trade CSC for a CW, but it's not so great if you want to sell for pure.
I think the biggest issue with the cards is that they take so darn long to redeem them all when you have a bunch in your inventory. That being said, it'd be nice if there was a "redeem all" feature in the CS.
just like you can redeem all Vesnali coins, Trinkets, Forum Raffle Tickets, etc from your inventory through the appropriate shops, why can't this be a feature, too?
This way I think it'd help cut back on the price that the CSC cards are currently. I remember when 1000 CSC was 32-33 mill. Now it's over 38.
Edit:
To clarify:
Keith implemented the CSC transfer through trades without the use of Credit Gift Cards to try and reduce the amount of cards on site. This has resulted in cards really rising in price if you try to buy them with sP as there are so many fewer cards now in existence.
The problem with this is that you can't buy the CSC through trades with pure, only through item trade and this makes trying to obtain CSC much more difficult - the card prices skyrocketing in player shops due to fewer cards on site and not being able to buy CSC through trades with pure and vice-versa.
The example I gave above about trying to buy CSC with pure through trades shows how risky it can be
I'm guessing that the excess cards on site is because of the tedious task of trying to redeem them all if you have a number of cards. However, there could be more reasons than just that, but that could be a big one.
Does this help to clarify at all?

I'm a bit confused about the suggestion. You just want an ability to redeem all cards in your inventory, correct? That seems doable and I wouldn't mind if it was implemented.
However I don't know what you're suggesting for the small amounts of csc. If you have less then 100csc that you want to sell then I guess it could be a pain, but I personally feel that that amount is so little and worth so less that it wouldn't even be worth the time. Just save up those bits and pieces and buy a 100csc card when you get enough and sell it that way. I just don't really see a market for someone who wants to buy say 38csc from someone.
I also do not see how any of these suggestions would reduce the price of the csc cards. The cards are always in flux but also raise gradually due to an abundance of sp in the market that forces the price upwards. Making them easier to redeem would in no way lower the price of the cards.

Yes to being able to redeem cards more easily, but I don't understand the reasoning in the OP. It sounds like you think making them easier to redeem will lower prices? I don't think prices have changed that much in the past few weeks. They've gone up a little, but the prices always fluctuate and I'm sure they'll go back down eventually. 18-19m for a 500 CSC card is pretty normal, and they're hovering around 19-19.5m right now, but I think that's just because it's the beginning of the month.

You keep contradicting yourself. The bold I added to show this. You keep saying that prices are too high because there are fewer cards but then state that there are excess cards on the site because they are tedious to redeem. Can't have it both ways :P
500csc are currently 19.5mil, which isn't skyrocketed in price. They typically are around 18.5mil but frequently go to about 19mil+ during the first of the month when collections get released and lots of people buy them. They aren't particularly scarce right now as there quite a few for sale on the shop search.
Again, this might just be me, but I feel like buying CSC on the trades with pure would just be too much of a hassle. I just can't see that many people wanting to buy less then a 100csc at a time, what would you even do with it. Just save up all those bits and pieces and buy a 100csc card if you want to sell it for pure.

not contradicting myself. Keith thinks there's an excess. This new trading system seems to have taken a lot of cards out of SS making them fewer and farther between. My guess about the so-called "excess" is because of the difficulty of trying to redeem them.
As nice as it is to trade for smaller amounts to make larger amounts, it's still making cards harder to get your hands on. If you look in SS, there's only a handful of 100 and 500 cards, where there used to be more before this.

The price has barely gone up since Keith implemented the new feature, which I know because I've been buying a lot of csc over the past two months. If you go to the advertising forum, you can find plenty of csc for 3.6m per 100csc. And some who want to sell faster sell for cheaper.
I don't see how the new feature has anything to do with the small amount of cards in user shops. People who buy csc to sell for sp will still have to sell cards because there isn't a way to put csc up in trades without it. And like Blanche said, I haven't seen a demand for random amounts of csc selling for pure - people are still buying csc with sp for the card amounts.
I think the lack of cards in user shops has more to do with this being November. People are already stocking up on csc because of Black Friday, because the cards always go up in price then.
A redeem all cards feature would be nice but it has been suggested many times before.
