Trade Forum?

just_a_car · 12-02-2006, 03:20 AM

So, I was just lurking over in the Classifieds Forums and was seeking to find out if anyone was willing to trade 7.62 NATO (with circle-cross headstamp) Brass-cased for some .308 Win Wolf 150 grain steel-cased, but was disappointed to find no Trade forum, only Wanted or For Sale.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but if I only want to trade, not involve money other than shipping, should I just post it in the For Sale forum?

Also, if I'm the only person interested in a Trade forum in the Classifieds section, it wouldn't really make sense to go to the effort of making one, but I would imagine there might be a decent amount of interest in straight trades, especially of ammo.

Chris, please let me know (or have a Mod let me know) whether this is something to consider or if I should just go post a request for a trade over in the Classifieds. Thanks.

(Even though I'm not a mod, I am fresh off the mod rack).

Typically, all sales/trades/wants, etc all should go under the classifieds forum. All you would have to do is specify that you only are interested in trading, you don't care to involve money in the transaction.

Recently I got rid of some brass, and since we were unable to make a reasonable deal, we traded fair. Both parties came away happy.

Hope this is helpful,
TJ.

Thanks TJ.

I'm off now to the W. Washington gun show out in Monroe to hopefully make a fair deal for some good brass-cased 7.62 NATO. If I can't get one, I'll see if I can find a taker here.
