A section for all you hardcore horse traders has been added. I would like to see it enhance the "trading post" site experience. The intended way for this to work is:
a) "I have a john deere 318, and would be willing to trade for a honda ATV, I am located in southern Missouri"
or:
b) "I have a bass boat, and would like to trade it for a garden tractor of at least 18 hp, with a 48 inch mower deck, I am located in mid Ohio"
or:
c) I have a Simplicty Sovereign, and want to trade for a 300 series John Deere"
If the section ends up getting out of hand, or is abused, I will remove it. Right now it's pretty much a trial, so any feedback suggestions on rules or how everyone would like to see it setup is welcome. Right now I am kicking it off with:
- No Firearms.
- No animals
- No wives, or in-laws
- No Tvs, video games, stereos, etc.
- "common sense" : We all would trade our wheelhorse for a hemi-cuda. let's be realistic about offers.
- "get real" : Moderators will remove any posts that are not realistic. "Offering junk and asking for gold" topics will be deleted.
- Responses to offers: intital contacts can, and should be, posted in the actual thread. Never know, someone else might take you up on an offer. Once a deal hits negotiation stages, it needs to be taken to PM or emails.
-
"We all love each other": by posting in the Barter!!! section, you forego the right to be indignant, meaning, do not be insulted by a response. If a deal does not appeal to you, be nice and politely refuse.. Also, do not be insulted or indignant when your offer is refused by someone.
- "no hound dogs" : If someone refuses your offer, do not offer something else, then something else, then something else, etc. Hounding people tends to not be conducive to deals.
Guidelines will be modified on an as-needed basis.
