Why do people post things as “FOR TRADE ONLY”?

[THREEJAYS]

Cause money burns holes in the britches

Maybe it is their stuff and they can do what they want.

Yep people do STUPID stuff all the time

For me, if I have something that has recently shot up in price, I'd rather trade for something else that has also recently shot up in price. That way, maybe the Rochambeau is mutual.

Attention or they are one of the poors. The only “trade only” scenario that makes sense is for ammo. That’s more a barter situation. Outside of that I think they are just dangling a prize you can’t win. Attention seeking behavior.

Why do they list items “for sale only” this is the OUTDOOR TRADER for heavens sake!!

I thought it was so they could accept bids without being accused of running an auction.

It appears everybody on here is broke, the stuff I've been offered lately you'd think they burglarized Sandford and Son to get it

Trade only is one of our greatest mysteries. Never to be solved in life.
Perhaps we will see it revealed when we are all sitting around the hellfire discussing the life choices that got us there.

If you read a couple it's obvious they think their 549 dollar Glock is worth the as a S&W performance center 1911. Most are just simply ridiculous on trying to trade up with no money.
