Does anyone even use the trade option anymore?

With the addition of the GE, how many of you actually use the trade option anymore? And I mean for something besides that item you forgot to bring on the quest and someone just happened to have with them. I mean major purchases.

Yeah lawls
Sometimes certain runes don't sell so I look for someone buying runes

I use it once in a while if I am buying something really expensive that is hard to get off the GE so I just find someone with it since it is faster. 99% of the time though it is useless though since for 99% of items it is much faster to just use the GE.

I use it when herbs don't sell. So I spam them

I barely use it too..

Sometimes I do =/

There is still interaction (mainly noobs asking for a law rune in banks)

Yeah some of the more expensive stuff I've noticed is harder to get on GE, plus with lending and all I still have to use the lend function. When I tried purchasing my abby whip I couldn't find one on the GE but there were people selling it like straight up.
