It's against the T&C to offer to buy/sell things, so I would imagine that includes trading as well.

It's been discussed, as I recall everyone was pretty much divided on it. As someone pointed out the purpose of Slickdeals is to save money, the purpose of selling (or trading) your stuff is to profit as much as possible. The two aren't really compatible :P

Possibly self promotion?
But, you can trade free magazine subscriptions.... :confused:

Yeah, but that's because the magazines were free in the first place and the only thing involved is changing the Mail To address.

I dunno, a trade section could be useful but I think it'd be more trouble than it's worth...

How hard could it be, for example you could say I have the new Star Wars battlefront and will trade for a copy of Socom 2? The trading or bartering system has been around forever and works well.

Replace the words "buy" and "sell" with "trade": http://www.slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=41982
