I am in the process of looking for a flex trade in II under 60 days using a week that is a flex week. What I noticed is even though short term, it only shows me the places that they consider equivalent to mine, higher end.

There are other weeks available that I can see with another week. These weeks where not as high end, many would chose to go using a flex week but are not given the opportunity.

I know I can call if something pops up but with the call, waiting I can lose it. Another hiccup in II.

Wow, I don't know anything about II, but that seems crazy. And II loses out in getting your higher week for their inventory. SMH......

If you are doing short term trades, you are in the final weeks of your exchange window so they already have your week. Kind of "heads I win, tails you lose".

I haven't noticed that much of a difference in what inventory I see between my deposited weeks, mostly things that I can chalk up to preference. Maybe my weeks are close to each other in trade value. At any rate, I would probably call in anyway just to see if you can grab it.
