Potential YorkieTalk Used Yorkie Goods / Trading Forum

[Yorkielove1]

I love this idea! I would love to trade some of bella's old clothes for new ones!

[kalina82]

i think this is a good idea. can't wait to see the final decision on how this is going to work. morgan has tons of clothes that she does not wear and toys she does not pay for.

if someone offers up something for trade would we be able to offer them something of ours to trade for it? say they have a nice $50 monkey daze outfit that i wanted. would i be able to offer up a few less expensive dresses to trade for that one item? this way the trade is between two people. i get something and they get something so neither is left without something.

One item one token -- would be my thoughts.

We will need to consider how people list and de-list things. I don't know how that's done now.

I'd like to see some kind of arrangement in place so that someone doesn't end up in a situation where they get thirty orders from thirty different people in a week. I suppose you could list and de-list your stuff periodically... that's just one benefit I saw about people taking turns.

Maybe you could write a simple program that would work within the vBulletin framework that would track this information

Yeah... we're back at that "not a real programmer" thing.

Ok well this is getting confusing for me

I was just thinking of me listing some items that I have for trade whether it be toys, clothes, or carriers and people can let me know what they would trade me for it.

that's what i thought it would be like (aside from the original box trade)

This is a great idea and gives each member more of a decision in what they can select from as people that maybe wouldn't want to sign up to the box idea would be free to browse the trade forum at any time just to see what is available.

I think if people offered up things then it should be up to the OP to decide if they wanted to make that trade or not. I don't see any reason why someone couldn't swop one expensive item for several less expensive items.

Yeah, like if the OP says they are open to ANY offer then people that were interested in that item could offer up what they have.

Ahh I see the light, that makes sense. Hopefully it works out like that. Now just tell me what I can trade for some smoochie lips?

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking also. The other method is far too complicated.

I was reading the whole first page and thought my eyes were going to fall on the floor. Way too confusing and way too much information, I felt like my blonde hair was pushing on my brain, made me feel stupid in easier terms.

Anyway, I agree with the last few posters above me, keep it very simple so people like myself can understand it.

I say someone should be able to post what they want to trade, descriptions and pictures and then someone else (who is interested) lets the poster know what they would trade for their items. Poster then has the right to say yay or nay. Trading then proceeds if the answer was yay.

If we're not doing the chests, actually, I think from post #21 onwards makes a lot of sense. So simple. The fact that OP has the say of whether or not they will accept the trade makes perfect sense. Then it's not a "first come first served" basis because the first one interested in OP's item may not have anything OP wants however, if OP doesn't care that that's the case, OP still then reserves the right to ship out the item to the interested party without expecting anything back or maybe would be happy with a dog biscuit.

That's the simplest way to do it. IMO. Not as exciting as a chest virtual or physical but.. it's something new-ish.

Exactly, I believe in the KISS rule too, keep it simple, sugar. The easier it is, the more people who will use it.

If members prefer one-on-one trading and would prefer that route, we would be happy to oblige and institute a trading forum for one-on-one trades. The example we gave regarding suggested value would be based on an honor system. It all depends whether YorkieTalk members would prefer giving goods to members in a chest-like system, or whether they prefer 1-on-1 trading.

Eaxctly, and one on one trading eliminates work for admin having to keep track of who has credits or whatever.

The more simple the idea the more inclined people are to get involved.
