To Buy or to Trade

Post by sparkchaser »

As the country is further thrust into financial problems with job losses at record numbers, the once fluent ability to sell ham gear is feeling the pain. Those that are retired,with a hopefully stable income, are the ones mainly in a position to buy equipment.
If this is a true observation, then why aren't more hams interested in working out trades? I know and accept that the best trade is "cash for gear", but in my opinion, the advertiser is limiting his field of prospects by not including those that have limited cash, but have gear to trade.
Almost everyone can think of a toy or different piece of equipment they have wanted but never seemed to buy, why not seek out that item in your postings?

Just my two cents worth.
