May I offer you some suggestions to help you in making successful trades?
The title of your trade is a little vague. For example, someone could really want that signed Fulton's deck you have, but they'd have no idea it was for sale since you specify "Tungstene etc" as what you're offering. They may assume the bulk of what's up for grabs are just Tungstene decks. Perhaps something more like "[TRADE] 12 Different Decks/Gaffs from D&D, D. Blaine, E - Take a Look" would entice more people to at least poke around and see what you're offering, especially if they're seeking something themselves.
Pictures will help if you're selling something that's an unknown quantity or in anything less than "without imperfections" condition. But for the stuff we all know and recognize, especially stuff that's been on the market very recently, I'd say a simple name would suffice.
Were I offering this package, I'd list it more like this (items in italics require more information from you, and all quantities assume you're only offering one where no amount was given):
FOR TRADE - sealed and as new unless otherwise stated
FROM DAN AND DAVE
1 Tungstene (we know what a new Tungstene deck looks like, so a photo isn't as important)
1 S&M V5
1 S&M V6
1 Fantastique
1 Fulton's SIGNED BY D&D, no cellophane, still sealed
1 Fulton's SIGNED BY D&D, cards cut in half, box like-new (include a photo, since this is an "out there" item)
FROM DAVID BLAINE
1 White Lions blue SIGNED, no cellophane, still sealed
1 Split Spades red (is this Tally-Ho or Lions?)
1 Split Spades black (is this Tally-Ho, Bee or Lions?)
1 Split Spades blue, opened, like new (is this Tally-Ho or Lions?)
1 Split Spades gaff card, black, SIGNED (include photo and series [as asked above])
FROM ELLUSIONIST
1 Shadow Masters, UV500, opened, never used
Don't even offer the S&M v3 because 1) you don't have it yet and 2) you don't know (or at least don't state) if it's a Smoke deck or a Mirror deck. Versions 1 through 3 of the Smoke and Mirrors series were two-deck sets of a Smoke deck and a Mirror deck - white and black versions of the same design. It could be very awkward setting up a trade only to discover after the fact that the item you're offering either never arrived at your doorstep or isn't what the other person wanted.
What you're willing to accept in return, as written now, is as vague as it gets - even in the body of your offering. Trust me, I've had a person offer me Standard Bicycles for my Black Ghost 1st Editions, Red Artifice and LTD decks. Save yourself some headaches - separate the serious traders from the looky-loos and junk offers by tightening up your requests of what you want in return.
