How to make trades?

trepper687 · 2010-08-11, 04:08 AM

Hi, i will soon be making a trade here on the forum, and i have a question. How do i know he will send out the product? Since it is a trade, we can't do a money order or anything, so it seems kind of hard to make sure that both parties will come through. THanks

who is it you are trading with?

Short answer: you don't.
But think about it, he'll be thinking the same thing, and to scam somebody in this community would be a bad idea.

Just have a little trust

The few times I've got things through otherr people everything has gone fine

I recently did a trade with a member of the forum where we both sent nearly $1000USD worth of product to one another accrossed the country without ever having met face to face. Everything went as planned. Tracking numbers were used to show the product had shipped and arrived at it's destination, and we both had eachother's cell phone numbers to communicate. Many pictures were taken to show everything that was being shipped right before it was packed up and sent.

Don't trade new members of the forum. I'd only reccomend trading people that have been here for a while and are well known in the community from attending meets or conventions. The same sort of scam described can come from people cashing checks and never sending product. Has this person sold stuff on the forums before?

Dealing locally is always your best bet.
