Im making this after the advice of another board member, Omegawrath.
This isnt a discussion thread to discuss trades youve personally been screwed in, but its to discuss fair trade. Im not sure how many of you have experienced this here, I now I have A LOT lately and so has Omega, but the idea of "fair trade" is rather laughed at here. I dont think its fair that someone can offer a GI Joe vehicle and then get offered 2 peg warmer action figures in trade then get a book PM telling how the vehicle is worth $X and the figures $X and blah blah. I challenge people here to actually begin to practice fair trade. Use common sense before beginning or participating in a trade. Ive been contacted by at least a dozen and I find all extremely laughable. So please, this is HissTANK. Make fair offers and dont ever base retail price on trade conditions. |

I dont really know your particulars but the word "fair" is subjective, each figure whether it is a peg warmar or not still costs 7-8 bucks and a figure that is hard to find(like wave 10) still costs the same, so is it fair to swap a wraith for a bat?? both costs the same on the shelf! or does this mean if you have wave 11 zartan that it is worth 10 bats? I think that each trade should be fair too, but what you consider fair and what i consider fair may vary drastically, I have had bad offers and I have had good offers but what it boils down to is average value,or at least some sort of reletive agreeable value

Wrath for BAT isnt a valid example since both are highly sought after and its well known.
But if I have a BAT and you offer me a TF Flint, thats really not common sense there... Like trading in a Ford F-150 for a Saturn ION. |

if the items are still found at retail, then retail price is the most logical price to base a fair trade on.
so is the purpose of this thread for you and your buddy to laugh at people and what they consider fair? i don't get it. |

you're assuming that everyone places the same value on a BAT that you do.

I suggest reading the opening message first because you didnt get it.
If you want to trade, make a fair offer. Dont offer crap for gold. |
