Yeah. Hmm. I dunno. I was just making trouble, frankly I think .trade or
.barter or even .swap would be fine. If you define the group as being
specifically for trading LEGO for non-money (or non-money for non-money, if
you feel ok about Lugnet being used for negotiating swaps with no Lego
involved), I don't think there would be too many misplaced posts.

Huh? I've seen at least two in the past two days. One in the past 15 minutes!

That's true. But I'd say that it's the introduction of non-money that defines
it as a trade, so if a little money gets thrown in on the side, that's
secondary to the trade itself.

But what if they have a set they want to get rid of, but want unspecified LEGO
in return instead of money? The name of the .wanted group (to me) implies you
know what it is you want and are looking for someone to give it to you.
Uh. Well, you know what I mean.
