however,
in addition-- my thought would be....
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU TRADE WITH.
one would not want to trade something genuine for somethng that is
nothing more than a repro or re-strike, or bootleg-- as we know that
there are some that deal in such materials.

Some of my very best experiences as a dealer, and some of my
consignors' best deals, have come about as a result of trades - and
putting together a trade can be good fun in itself - one of the

Furthermore, especially if, as some fear, we find ourselves in an
inflationary economy with de-stabilized currencies (and prices for
collectibles) trading can be one of the best ways to avoid getting
caught up in cash deals that would have made sense last month, but
might not in six months. The reverse is also true, by the way: If
the economy turns deflationary, even relatively stable prices for
collectibles and antiques will be affected negatively - trading
becomes a way to avoid making a cash deal today that will look
terrible from the other direction later on.
Normally, we like to trade up in quality when possible: Several
desirable recent posters (which we may have in multiples) for one
desirable older poster, for instance. We've made some exceptions
recently, however, that have clued us into the flipside: One great
older poster that it may be hard to get the right price for in
exchange for a bunch of newer, cheaper posters that sell much more
easily - or are just cool to have.
Cash is king, but a good trade can turn out a lot better over time,
for both sides.
