Mandatory List or Items

Im ok if thats what they want. Ill trade G19 for a P2022 . That's pretty cut+dry.

G19 for trade. I have no idea what i want or how much im willing to take in trade BUT, feel free to send all sorts of offers till i figure out WTF I want.

This probably won't fly with the mods cause there is nothing listed looking for , value or nothing.
What's so hard about offering a fair trade to the lister and if no reply or you get back something crazy just move along to another whatever you are looking for?
It's not that hard!!
 
Come on fellas. I think what OP was saying is that it's frustrating when someone puts up an ad saying one thing but not really meaning it. I place a little value on my time. Offering trade after trade in line of what the ad says and not getting a positive reply probably means the ad should be more specific. Everybody knows it's true. Venting won't fix it cause there's no fixing it. Sometimes it just makes you feel better to know you're not the only one. Trading is part of the gun hobby. Getting trade offers rejected is part of the gun hobby. Venting on ODT is part of the gun hobby and it's free.
 
There is no official value for used goods. A used widget is worth what you can sell it for, or trade it for. It may be worth a bale of hay, or 2, that is up to how bad you want the hay, or I want the widget.

If you have a ginger hooker and want to trade it for my blond hooker, I expect you to pony up cash, you may feel different. :thumb:
 
I've had very little success in trading, even when I offered exactly what they were looking for, in better condition than their trade, with a less than 20 mile drive for each of us. After more pictures and PMs back and forth, he found his way to my ignore list. I'd hate to forget and try to deal with him again.
I think there are a lot more women on this site, than they let on to be.
 
I love getting offers and always give a polite reply whether I want the item offered or not. My listings always say "wide open on trades" or "feel free to make an offer". I feel I would get more but too many on this site start rant threads and demand more regulation as to what people should ask for their property.
If you don't want trade offers go to GB or AL!

Exactly, and why I have quit making offers on items I am interested in, both trades and fantasy priced sale items.
 
big thing.... if you offer a trade and are not specific,or you offer a trade +cash but dont give a value...
ANSWER YOUR STINKING PM'S!!!
seems a lot of guys refuse to respond to an offer ,when they are vague on what they want..
i get it,you dont want what was offered. but if you say open to anything,at least be willing to respond...
i still think "wont communicate" should be added to feedback. sure some guys are offline for extended periods of time,you can see that by clicking on their name.. if you have a pm and ignore it, you are a sorry odter. if you get an offer and you are a chode about it,your a sorry odter.
by the time you read a pm, it takes only seconds to say "no thanks" and thats all it takes.
