can you have a trade auction?

M. Edwards had one for his 12v trains. It may still be on his site





i.e. I want to trade parts but have had several offers for the same thing.
Besides the difficulty of determining the actual value of the different

Or do most folks do it on a first come first served as long as it seems fair
at the time?
