Trading Post rant...

[alan0269]

When someone has something for TRADE ONLY, it'd really be nice if they would at least place an approximate value on their item so if we are interested in their item, we could see what we may have available of at least a close comparable trade value.

Agreed, but in the most recent instance I was talking about, I was looking to trade a Glock 26 for a Glock 19. I really don't think that a value needs to be placed on that one. Both are comparable value and I provided plenty of pictures showing the condition of my item.

The frustration that I expressed is not from a one time incident, but rather from a few different recent experiences. Some of the a__hats involved have been newer members, while others have been more "experienced" members. Personally, I don't care any longer if there is an area on the site for selling/trading items as there are other places available that are there just for that purpose. I've really enjoyed this site over the last couple years, but I'm not going to let frustration caused by a few make it to where I don't want to spend time here, hence my decision.

As for the comment that I don't have enough posts to be frustrated, think what you want. I could boost my post count by posting rediculous crap that doesn't really matter to anybody or add the constant +1 posts that are seen on threads, but I choose not to. If I open a thread and have something to add to it, I will, but otherwise if what I'm thinking has already been stated, I don't see the constant need to always repost exactly what someone else said. I also don't see the need to post in a thread that has nothing to do with me just to boost my post count and voice my opinion on something that doesn't mean anything to me. If I have something to say, I will. Otherwise I just move on.

What I said was not meant to apply to even trades/swaps where the ad states exactly what they wanted to trade for and both items are of the same value.
