km002916 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Was thinking there might be a demand for a swap section in the trading post, might be good for people fancying a change of wheels, suspension etc but have limited funds (like myself) Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 idea I get bored of my stuff all the time.... Anyone want to swap a yellow GT4 ZED for my JDM ? Quote
sparky370z Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 very good idea. had this on another site, was used well. only a few arguments. nothing major tho. hmmmmmmm i would like..................................... Quote
martinmac Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 OK guys, you have our attention. So what issues may arise from a swap section and how would they be resolved.. Quote
maz0 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 OK guys, you have our attention. So what issues may arise from a swap section and how would they be resolved.. I reckon every 'swap' would have to be treated with the same respect as a sale, with current rules already in place. It would be bad to see swaps happening and folk receiving goods of less quality than advertised etc. Quote
BladesGrant Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 The issue of who sends what first and if they are posted at the same time I suppose. With a sale you pay and then only once funds have cleared you send the goods. With a swap you need to ensure both items are sent at the same time. Less protection with a swap than a sale I suppose. Just my opinion. Quote
sm1ke 350Z Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Hi good idea, Just my veiw if it goes ahead. The origional poster should receive the goods before he sends the origional advertised goods like a sale I.e cash first. Also a higher post count then the for sale section may help things run smoother along with recorded delivery , Also a members feed back system may help . Quote

Member feed back is a great idea, used it on another forum, but I think the forum software version would have to be upgraded to pull that off properly?? Quote
km002916 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Posted June 23, 2010 Theres the obvious option of swap at meets/in person or people could upload pics of postage receipt or tracker number on forum to prove they've sent goods. There's always going to be an element of trust envolved same as buying goods though. Quote
Neilp Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 i like the sounds of this although i have nothing to swap Quote
maz0 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 i like the sounds of this although i have nothing to swap You could swap that reg plate holder for one that fits mate Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 How about raising the amount of posts of the members who want to swap. Say 300/400 posts maybe even 500. Logic in this is that the more posts you have, the longer and better known you are. I would feel uneasy to swap with someone who ahdnt been around for long. Quote
350 Russ Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 I like the sound of this! Could work well, does it has to be something for the zed that your swapping or something else, I.E someone has a set of wheels and then I could offer a t.v or something like that for them? Quote
Neilp Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 i like the sounds of this although i have nothing to swap You could swap that reg plate holder for one that fits mate lmao i like my little number plate on big holder u cheeky barsteward lol.... Quote

I would feel uneasy to swap with someone who ahdnt been around for long. 300+ seems awfully high, I'm only on 80 odd but did come up with the idea, that mean I get special treatment? also maybe it could be the case that only 1 item needs to be 350Z related, e.g. swapping a set of std wheels for a xbox 360 or something like that? opens the options available to people and would increase the number of posts without opening it to everything and anything (e.g. TV for a dishwasher) Quote
Smudge Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 i'm going to put a +1 to this I think it could be usefull, like asking if someone wanted to swap their WELL FITTING K1 for my OEM zorst lol Quote
Chris`I Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 What are the agreed terms of trade/swap? Rules are at the top of the Swap section, just like the For Sale section. I'm sure these are likely to change as we all get used to it, but its a good start Quote
