FT only ???

I swapped a wasar for 2 glocks got $950 for the glocks.
swapped a $900 4 wheeler for a Wrangler, put a $350 paint job on it.Sold it for $4800 paid some bills and bought a ski boat for $1000 swapped it for a Suzuki Blvd.,swapped for another beater Wrangler,swapped it for a real nice convertible Mustang swapped it for the Wrangler I'm driving now gonna sell it for $4500 in the spring. Then start all over again. I love it.
 
I have gotten exactly what I want on trade, and so did the person I traded with.
So you loose or gain a few bucks, but the point is, its kinda like a strip joint, everybody comes out happy and nobody got screwed.
ODT works and thats why I like it.
 
I'll reiterate one more time. If you're getting rid of a gun to get another gun, a trade usually works out better.

If I have a Glock 19 and I want a Glock 23 (pretty much exact same value), I could sell my Glock 19 at the used market value, and then go to my shop and buy a new 23. There is no way I got enough money to cover the 23 brand new, and even if I did, I'm still gonna get hit with sales tax (or shipping/transfer fees for online buys). Or alternatively I could sit around and check the classifieds everyday until a 23 pops up at a decent price and buy it. But during that time I will be without a gun (well I wouldn't be, but some people might), and something could come up and my gun money might become car or house repair money.

Or I could let my G19 sit out there until someone wants to trade me a G23 for it. Simple and easy.

Explains it perfectly.
 
dkswim, i think your right. it would also benefit the seller if he posted a cash price because it would increase his chances of getting the item he is searching for.
a for trade only ad may not be as productive as a WTS or WTT ad.
