    I put on my Harley listing I'd swap for a Speed Triple.

    Some fucknut rang me, Offered me a truck of hay.

    Thats the truck and the hay.

    And....The truck was broken down in a fucking paddock somewhere.

    The deal was I'd give him my fuckin awesome bike, go find his fucked truck, fix the fucking thing, drive off into the sunset in a truck loaded with hay.

    I was seriously pissed off the fuckball interrupted my eating time with such bullshit.

    The general rule, given me by an old-time property dealer 35 years ago: "In every swap transaction, there's a fuckor and a fuckee".

    One way or another, and despite the last posting above, usually someone gets a shafting.

    And every property dealer is a fuck-tard.

    Nah it’s a dumb idea, I mean apart from having most of your time wasted by losers & you get enough of that on normal adds, how often do people want to trade backwards in CC or quality.

    That leaves Genre change & while people may want to go from a Sportbike to an adventure bike or tourer when they get a bit older, owners of those bikes are unlikely to go the other way.

    Generally people try to swap when no one will buy their piece of crap for what they think its worth.



    . . . Some Hay for a Harley huh? And you said no? You drive a hard bargain.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    trading items of differing values... that'll never work, or so people keep telling me... I hope it does work and can't really see why it wouldn't if people are honest about what they're selling... all the best to him...
    I didn't think!!! I experimented!!!
