Basschat's issue with advertising trades?

[JaketheB]

Evening,

I gather that problems have been encountered in the past in the 'Items wanted' section of the classifieds.

 

However, I have a genuine like-for-like trade which I want to advertise but cannot for fear of deletion/ban.  

 

Is there no where I can go (other than ScamBay or risk Gumtree) to sort this deal out?  

 

(I.e. certain inch neck for other inch neck)

 

Thank you,

Jake.

Trading an item is not what the 'Wanted' section is for. You may place an ad in the 'Basses For Sale' section, giving the value of the item to be traded, and specifying 'Trade only; no cash sale'. Any bass can be offered or asked for as a trade, except, of course, Rickenbacker basses, as BC cannot guarantee the authenticity of such instruments. Trading a 35" scale for a 34", for instance, is perfectly permissible, provided that the valuation of the bass is correct.
Hope this helps.

Thank you.  Perfectly reasonable.  I will get on to my ad as soon as I finish work!
