So, what's the difference between a "Coin Swap" and a "Coin Trade?"

I've been thinking of starting a thread in the obsequious BST area of this forum but ran into a conundrum on where to post that has lead me to a mental vapor lock.

My OCD requires me to post in the correct sub forum and for the life of me, I cannot determine which it is . . . .

If I have a few duplicates that I would rather swap than try to sell outright, which forum do I post in to trade with other interested parties?

Inquiring minds . . . .

    Me thinks they are kinda the same thing. Trade=swap, as long as everybody is happy. So, watcha got? Peace Roy

    No difference, just semantics!

    your description says use the bst

    as to the question, I'll bet tags are even less known.

    swaps... trades... sounds the same.

    "Coin Trade" is just what it sounds like.
    An example, I will trade you my worn Morgan dollars for your Peace dollars. I will trade my silver for gold.

    "Coin Swap" is more for fun or a game.
    An example, I would find 10 members that wanted to play or swap. I would take 10 coins and send them to the first member on the list. The next member picks a coin they want to keep and replaces it with something different, then sends it to the next member. The last member on the list sends it back to me and I get to see what was swapped out.

    As always I reserve the right to be wrong. :p

    Yeah, I can see this. I think this makes the most sense, sematics aside. I'm also thinking putting something in the BST basket would get better visibility than in the Swap and Giveaway tray.

    I wanted to start something unique that I haven't seen done yet, but I needs to get some pichers taken.

    Stay tuned.

    No idea if this is what they had in mind, but the swap game sounds like fun
