This is just an idea in concept right now, if you have any questions, suggestions, or additions to it, feel free to PM us or reply in this thread.

We propose having a separate forum for giving away or trading used Yorkie items. It would work like this: a YT member (Member A) lists an item or several items with a suggested value of the item in a thread. A toy that may be $10 new would perhaps have a $7 value used. Another member (Member B) claims the item and posts in the thread that they want it. Member A ships the item (with a tracking number or delivery confirmation) to Member B within one week's time. Member B then lists their used item or items that have at least a $7 value for other members to choose from. Member A can then have $7 of credit to spend on other used items. Of course this would be based on an honor system for the most part.

We could also offer direct 1 on 1 trading, but we would think it would be more rare to find actual members with things they can directly trade and this method would be more in spirit of the original Gently Used Gift Exchange idea of sharing with others Yorkie goods that they no longer want and don't wish to sell.

We would require members participating to be a YorkieTalk Donating Member (a full Donating Member who has donated $25 or more in combined donations) and members with 200 posts or more. Items must be washed if possible or necessary, items must be listed with any defects or problems, members may choose two or three items per week maximum or a set value limit, and members must adhere to the guidelines/rules of the trading forum. Failure to ship items may result in a suspension or ban of their YorkieTalk account. As with the YT Gift Exchange and the ability to sell Yorkie products on YT, this would be an additional benefit of being a YorkieTalk Donating Member.

Most of this idea and requirements came from current YorkieTalk members and we would like to thank each and everyone who has helped us with this idea. Thank you - you know who you are! We would also like to specifically thank QuickSilver for thinking up the Gently Used Gift Exchange idea initially!

If anything is unclear or if members have other suggestions, please let us know.
