Always Trade Up:  Don't take anything of less value for a trade.   If you do want to trade a video game for another video game --  make sure you get 2 games for your one.  Always try to at least  double the value of what you are carrying.

 Here are a few quality starting items:

  • Disney Collectables
    This is good because everyone has a favorite character and they are always in the market to collect just one more.  Try to stay with the high end pieces.
  • Error Dollar Bills
    You can pick these up on eBay and they have a great novalty value.  People are willing to trade something of a lot of value just to have one of these rare pieces.
  • Hot Marketable Items
    Trade ipods, xbox 360 consoles, laptops, and even TVs.  People are sometimes willing to trade a CAR for an xbox 360 because they don't need the car anymore and really want a console.

 

 Try to Cross up Markets:  If you trade a XBOX -- try to get something that is not game related.  You need to jump from market to  market in order to increase the value of what your trading.  Try to go from an XBOX to a car, a car to a high end collectable, then  from a collectable to a antique.  Once you start into the high priced items you will need to shift to trading almost purely antiques  and collectables as they are the only thing with high value that are small enough to ship. 
 
 Watch Shipping Costs:  The cost of shipping an item can be costly so watch what you trade for and if you plan on trading online  then try to start with a small high end item that does not cost a lot to ship but has a big trade value -- and always receive what  you are trading for before shipping them the item.

 Careful with Hidden Costs:  Remember, if you trade for a house then the deed must be changed into your name.  Same thing  with a car or other high end product.  Be careful not to cost yourself too much money in fees and what not.

 
 Whenever you can, deal locally with people you can meet in person.

 Have fun and exciting items to trade!
