Where to make a post to trade some GA books ?

[menator]

Hey All,

 

I've bought quite a few books on these boards over the last few years but never sold or traded anything. I have some GA books that I want to trade for some other reader grade books. Would I make this post in the 'For Sale' section, or is there another section for just doing trades?

 

Not really looking to sell anything, just trading.

 

Thanks,

Jason

I would probably post it in the appropriate marketplace section (GA) meant for selling, with the prefix WTT (want to trade) in the title. Unless someone here has a better suggestion.

If posting a trading thread you must list a dollar value price for the book that you WILL accept in TRADE VALUE, and you MUST put "TRADE ONLY" in the title of your thread if you will not accept money.

I think both the Marketplace and the Want to Buy sections are appropriate for Want to Trade ads – it depends on whether you want underlined more what you offer or what you are looking for.

 

Certainly if listed in the Marketplace they need to have a BIN price, so maybe the WTB section is better?

My quote is rule 10 from the guidelines found here:

But these are just for the Marketplace. I think it is OK to post in a more personalized way in the WTB section, isn’t it?

Guidelines for WTB section.

 

Doesn't specifically say you CAN'T post a trade request. But the fact that the Marketplace Sales section DOES makes me believe that it is the correct place.

I see. Well, I always thought the WTB section was more flexible for that – there has been various WTT threads there. It’s more handy as you don’t have to specify a fixed trade price and may define the details as you talk. In the Marketplace theoretically a fixed price would be binding if someone actually wants to buy (and not trade) and says "I’ll take it".

You're right. There are WTT threads in the WTB section. So I assume it is acceptable. As far as someone offering you your "price" my take is if you put the "TRADE ONLY" in the title as the rule states you aren't bound to take a monetary offer on your comic. Though if you are worried about that you can always price it at three times guide if you want.

That is a cool strategy. Will do so…
