In todays ever rising costs , it seems a good idea to barter items rather than sell them .
Advantage is that I wouldn't need to check my bank account and worry whether I could afford it . I could work out the possibility that some of my junk may be worth some of your junk and all that would be involved cost wise would be mailing .
I know there are some barter sales in the classifieds but a separate section would locate all those transactions which involve some sort of swap .
What do you think ?
Maybe not a good idea but put your vote in and let Samba know .

You can place you "barter" ad in the classified. Wanted and for sale ads are already in the same place.

In your for sale ads, you are free to put "or trade".

It is often difficult to work out trades that are satisfactory to both parties through the mail.

Yes but the point of the topic was that it would be much easier to find them if they had their own section , but it seems from your censorship that you don't wish to know what the members think .
If I am wrong then it should be up to the members to show that .
Or have I broken some rule somewhere ?

You could use the Trades section.

You gotta be joking .
Moving my thread to another site without telling me is , imo a form of censorship .
You have put it into a forum where few and far between members bother to look .
Look at the list .\, 10 , 6 , 3 opinions on a thread .
I put the question in the Vanagon section because that is a forum of people who I "know" and whose opinion I would like to obtain .
You have negated that arbitrarily without the opportunity of debate .
That , my friend , smacks of censorship .

If you want to Trade, use the Trades section.

If you want to place a wanted ad for parts, use the appropriate section in the Classifieds.
