Why no trading?

With all of the buying and selling of members who just want to try something new and different, I am wondering why more people don't just trade items? I realize it would take just the right deal but I can't recall seeing an ad for trading of an item. What's your thoughts on this?

There are times when someone will either use the words " will consider trades" in either his ad heading or the ad body. I have traded items before and both parties were happy afterwards. You'll also notice that some ads will specifically state, " No trades, please."

I also have seen ads that use the words "trades considered". I have also made trades here on AudiogoN. It is very hard to do though, as finding just the 'right deal' is tough enough when just money is involved, adding more variables only makes it tougher.

Cheers,
John

Audiogon doesn't make a provision for trading. I think it was considered at one time but it has never happened. I guess there is nothing in it for them so they aren't interested. I've had a few transactions turn into trades with pretty good results.

I would love to trade my VPI-HW19mkII for a Goldmund reference table but so far no takers.
