no one seems to want to trade any more :(

Hi all

i dont know maybe its just me, but a couple of years ago, this forums used to be rife with people wanting to trade guns "just for a change" or "i dont like my new gun much want something different"

you see the very odd trade thread but not so much now.. i dont know whether the compulsion to have a 2008 marker and manufacturers bringing new guns out every year may have anything to do with it

i used to be a fan of swapping my gun for something else, it took the hassle out of "i wanna change so im gonna post my gun up for sale, get knocked down rotten by low ballers then sell my gun for under the going rate and having to add money to get what i wanted"

Just something that i noticed when i started playing again after a break.

Too many 'Sponsorship' issues now, rubbish teams are offered 2% off retail and all of a sudden all of their players have to sell the marker they have to buy their 'sponsors'. You see it all the time in the classifieds, people only selling due to sponsorship. Its bollox really.

i think its down partly to a lack of trust as well.

many a time has there been a thread about trades going wrong
