Trading products between members?

[LikeaRock]

Seems like a number of people do this, maybe we can do it as a group? I'm sending Joyride some Wipe N Shine in exchange for some FK dressing. I recently traded some sealant for a cleaner I've never used before with another member of another forum.
I was thinking...why don't we just make a thread listing what products we would like to try, and what products you have for trade. When another member has what you want and you have what they want, voila (sp) a trade.

Just a thought...It's raining, so I'm stuck at home for today

The problem with that is that there is a no sell/trade policy here at DC.
So if a thread like that was started it would be removed.

Sorry, but that was decided some time ago.

What members do on their own is their own business. We had too many issues with member to member transactions so we decided that it was best if this was not something that we allowed or endorsed on the forums.

Thanks,

Aha, wasn't aware of that...doh!
Thanks for letting me know though!

This kind of reads like it's OK to discuss trades in PM's, right?
What's the feeling about a member posting that they might be interested in trying a product with the thought that other members might PM if interested?

I'd rather not see that kind of post. It's almost the same as "I have something to sell, PM me if interested."

Discussing trades is fine via PM between members that are not affiliated with a company that manufactures or distributes car care products. We just don't want the public forums used as a tool to generate these PM's. Hundreds of "PM me for more information" threads do nothing for the Detail City Forum goal of becoming an informative resource.

Thanks,

OHHH not a good thread. I had the same thought and wasn't aware this wasn't allowed when i joined. Other forums do allow it with no problems..

Makes sense.
I knew it was a pretty fine line when I asked the question and wasn't even considering the "selling products" aspect.
