wildcatz80 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Hello, I have a question to whoever is wanting to trade. I know most of us want to trade for stuff we don't have including me. But I have to be honest some of you want to trade but don't know the value you are trading for. I make trades but expect the trade value of the bottle. If you want to make a profit or scam someone don't do it here. eBay is doing a great job for that. Example if I need a Ceramic Boost and its up for trade. I will trade you for the value of it not 1 item less then that. Come one getting tired of people who are just posting to make it to 50 post to trade that for me is shady. They don't even try to make sense on there post . I have done a few trades here and can say there's a few good people here. I was hesitant to trade at first thought what if I get scammed. Then I said oh well lets see how it goes luckily I have trade with good people. But social media is a big thing because you can report that person and words spreads out. Sorry Guys and Gals just wanted to speak what I have been reading and thinking. If you felt insulted by this I'm sorry but this get old. I'm in for Adamspolsihes not to make profit could of done it some many times . pirahnah3, MikeSoFlo, jabo_pf and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongosg8 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Im right with you man! Another reason I now stay away from wanting to trade anything. I rather purchase from someone who has overstock of a product or just wants to get rid of it at a discounted price. Sick of seeing.. " I have 2 items but want 6 limited edition detail sprays and your first born"! Yes I exaggerated a little bit but believe me I read some individuals trade request and I LMAO!

JoeyD0831 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 My trades have all been equal value and I'm very pleased with those I've traded with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there have been a few items that interested me that people have put up for trading, but I'm focused on building my supplies so I have nothing to give yet. When and if I am ready to do some trading, I can assure you that it will be of equal value, we should be here because we believe in the products and outcome, not to make a buck off one another. wildcatz80 and Checo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirahnah3 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 To me, trades are trades, you either are willing or are not willing to make the trade. Its like buying a product at the store. If you like the price you purchase the item, if you dont you look elsewhere. If you dont like the price Adams is charging for a product do you look for another one? Did the pressure washer the put up for sale make you pause? They are essentially doing the same thing, trade your cash for their product in the end you just need to decide if its worth it.

imatt27 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I’m very new to the forum. I have made a few trades and I have a few in progress and I feel pretty good about them. Like someone was saying earlier both parties have to agree. And if you feel it’s fair then go for it. If not just say no.

TheWolf Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hopefully this does not become an issue. While I would say that a trade does not need to be even to the penny, scalping or the ridiculousness seen on some ebay posts is not in the spirit of what would be expected in this section of the forum.

Rich Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Agreed. And while you may expect an equal trade, it has to be up to the two people trading whether or not they want to trade dollar for dollar, or just to get whatever they each need. But just remember that if you get taken in on a deal, there's not much anyone here can do about it. mexiking2365 and pirahnah3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbrazelton Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 With the Special Edition Sprays, the trade forum got out of hand. I had asked people about things, and all they want is special detail spray. They have 2 bottles of shampoo and brilliant glaze, but they want 4 special edition detail spray. So I traded 15 of mine, for a mini swirl killer, so roughly 150$ or $10 a Bottle and I paid Freight just so I didn't have to deal with them anymore. I made a topic about having a positive or negative post about doing deals with people, to hopefully weed out the people that do bad trades. jabo_pf, imatt27, Hookem06 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvethelmet Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I've only done one trade so far and I probably won't do anymore. The trade went fine no problems. The problem is the shipping costs. Add up the cost of the product and shipping and it just isn't worth it. Asti113, Mjose, Hookem06 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I all for starting a locals trading group in Denver. Then we could just trade before Cars and Coffee or whenever works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davered00ss Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 It would be nice if Adams had local sections of the forums. Not just for trading. Asti113 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSoFlo Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 My thought and @pirahnah3 can vouche for it, if I'm initiating the trade for something I want I'll put up a higher value. In the end it needs to be FAIR for both parties. The value needs to be as close to the same as possible or more if its something you really really want. pirahnah3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
