So relatively new member Mitch and i decided to do a little trade today. I'm sure this has been done before, but it's certainly new to me and i think it was new to him as well. We both thought it was pretty cool. Here's how it worked.
Mitch informed me that he had something he knew I wanted because i had openly expressed that i was willing to buy or trade for. He said he wanted to trade and that he had other things he was willing to let go of as well, should i so desire. So he emails me a list of the things he has available; which i might add was a nice list of things. I look at it, pick the things i would want to trade for, email him back along with a list of things i had available. Being the geeks we are, we both had excel spreadsheets with various information on them.
He emails me back with a dollar amount of the things i want along with the various brands and lines he would like to try.
We agreed on the $ amount of the things i wanted, i made a list of the things on my list that he was interested in along with their respective MSRPs and we agreed to the trade.
It was pretty cool to pick and choose from a list of things and it was alos cool to pick out a bunch of things i thought he should try that he said he hadn't but would like to.
I'm not sure if this would work with everyone as Mitch was super easy to work with. We both agreed on the first try about the dollar amount of the sticks i wanted, so that helped out a lot. He pretty much left it up to me to give him sticks in the same dollar amount. I emailed him my proposed trades, and again, Mitch being as easy to work with as we was, agreed on the first go.
All in all, i'm a happy camper. I got some things i've been searching for as well as a few things that i wasn't aware i wanted, but certainly can't wait to get.
