Trades - best practice, by showbeagle on Jan 14, 2017 16:47:18 GMT 1, Was wondering on how could you ensure that you would get the print you are trading/swapping with an out of town collector. Is it purely based on trusting the other person?

Whilst never completely fool proof, some suggestions:
Ask for references and take them up.
Referees should be established members.
Only trade with members who have been around for a while and whose posts suggest they are trustworthy.
If high value, take the time to meet face to face, even if out if town (lost track of the number of deals I've completed in motorway service stations!).
Don't accept stock photos of pieces. Satisfy yourself that the other person has the piece they are trading.
Very carefully plan for all eventualities eg agree what will happen if either piece is damaged in transit (if not meeting face to face).
Good luck.

But surely that would take organisation.

It'll cost you both 3% but I'd imagine that's worth the insurance.

That's a great idea
