Swapping Prints - How?, by JockoLad on Jan 16, 2014 18:24:47 GMT 1, I have a couple of prints that I would consider swapping/trading.
Before venturing any further, how have members gone about this in the past. Is there a set etiquette? Are there any pitfalls that should be avoided.
Genuinely interested in hearing how it has been done or being directed toward a previous thread with the information available.

Iv done a few swaps from a few small items up to a ยฃ1k prints.
If depends on value and who you are swapping with most of the time both post on same day deal has been done.
Get references or trust your instincts get photos etc before deal done.
If someone had no history it references maybe they post item first.
Or face to face but that is never normally an option.

Swapping Prints - How?, by taco on Jan 16, 2014 22:23:58 GMT 1, I've done some successful high value swaps via expressobeans UK-USA. Just found out more about the person I was swapping with and where I was sending it to. In my case he was a screenprinter with a physical shop and a obvious online presence which reassured me and I did the same for him.

Swapping Prints - How?, by dotdot on Jan 17, 2014 0:07:35 GMT 1, How ? Trust , you have to trust the other person.... If you can't do a face to face...
If they dont trust you or feel confident enough it wont work , and vice versa.
You've been here a long time , ya weedgie  you should know the score...
But likewise there are folks who may try to take advantage , you just have to be careful.
Fwiw , I did a trade with a chap in the us, worked out fine .. Banksy works.
Good luck and keep yir heid.

Swapping Prints - How?, by 11 on Jan 17, 2014 9:51:26 GMT 1, If face-face isn't possible and you don't like the idea of trusting a total stranger - there are plenty of helpful members on here (globally) that are always happy to be an intermediary or go and assess the goods on offer for you.....

Swapping Prints - How?, by JockoLad on Jan 20, 2014 23:30:14 GMT 1, Was looking to swap a Pure Evil JFK (50th Anniversary) for something a bit more child friendly to hang in my daughter's room.
I have bought and sold a fair bit in the past but felt in this instance that a trade might prove to be the better option.
