Mods - Is a Game Swapping Thread Possible?

[da_mic_1530]

As we all know, you can't trade games on the Members Market

I was just wondering, if we all agreed to a set few rules at the start, if it would be possible to consider a trading thread

I.e I want rid of Skate 2 and Mirror's Edge, though I have no desire for cash, I'd rather get another game

Worth a shot anyway...

its not allowed in the members market for good reason so i imagine its gonna be a no in here too unfortunately.

arr oo well, was hoping we could agree not to hold OCUK responsible for any goings-on etc etc

yeah aslong as OCUK are not going to be held responsible then it should be fine, however theres a big issue of trusting the other person if they will sent you the items.

Has the rule changed in the Wanted section?
You used to be able to post for a trade in there.

Trade requests may be posted in the wanted section in the members market, but not on here or in the for sale section.

Ooh, never knew that!

edit: and yes, I did read the rules, but that bit clearly didn't sink in!

 

[Kreeeee]

I wasn't doubting you had read the rules, I forget the details of them though and an official link is better than me paraphrasing

 

[da_mic_1530]

cheers Kreee, oh well is it possible to all agree to post our trades in the wanted section

And would it be allowed to post in this thread linking to our wanted thread, or is that going to be bumping, i.e against the forum rules?

Cheers Kreeeee - I didn't think they had changed!

I think that would be considered circumvention of the MM policy, as it allows people without MM access to see what you have for trade and offer a trade off forums.

You can have a link in your sig to the games for trade thread in the wanted section though, but listing the games would be an issue.

Anyway, I've got what I wanted, a place to trade games, all I can do now is hope that the rest of the OCUK console crew realise that you can trade games on the Wanted Section

Cheers for your help Kreee

 

[Kreeeee]

That's what I'm here for

I think that's the crux of the matter. But as Kreee said, as long as it's in Wanted and you conform to all the MM rules, it's not an issue.
