Mabe its just me. But it makes no sence to post up something as just trade only. beacuse you rerely get what you want in trade. where as with cash I can get exactly what I want. I guess ill offer to trade pieces of paper with dead presidents printed on them.

it's not just this forum, it's the same on a lot of other forums im on.
 
I never understood this until a few months ago.

There are a couple of reasons you only want to trade:

You could end up getting something better in trade than you could have bought with cash

Sometimes cash can have a tendency to be spent between the sale and the purchase.

You honestly don't know what you want, so you see what gets offered. It is actually really exciting seeing what gets offered.

And you would be very surprised at the success rate of finding what you want.

What Okuma said!
 
I love to trade! When you open a PM it's like opening a present, you never know whats inside!

That being said I put a cash price on most everything that I list.

Almost everything I list is trade only, and here's why: Cash is boring. If I want cash, I'll go to the ATM. If there's a specific weapon I really want and it can be had a gun store, I'll go buy it. There's a lot of odd/unusual/uncommon items offered on trade, especially if you've got the right bait.
