Does "for trade" mean they ain't got no money ?

What I don’t understand is people who quote a higher trade value than a cash value. It’s worth what it’s worth. If you say your amp has a trade value 300 higher than it’s cash value then my Guitar you want to trade with also has a trade value of 300 more. So what is gained exactly? It’s pure fucking nonsense. You can easily assess the cash value of what you have and what the other person has. Trade and the money differentials are the same whether you use your imaginary value or not.

My Chinese Squire straight trade for your American Tele, good deal bro.

Honestly I would usually rather do a cool trade than a cash deal. At this point I don't NEED anything, I just want to try out new toys.

Agreed.
