Am I allowed to offer items other than yoyos for trades?
I have collections of musical instruments, gemstones, and a ton of pokemon cards that I would love to trade for yoyos.
Also, I can’t find out why I am unable to upload any images to the forums, anywhere. I see the option to do so, but when i attempt to, it “processes” infinitely with no progress.
Thanks everyone!

I’m not 100% on the items other then yoyos. I’ve seen it time to time though. But the picture thing I’ve figured out if you discard the post and reload the page that usually fixes it for me.

I have done trades here for tablets and games and stuff, but they were to people who had yo-yos listed looking specifically for those things.
Havnt seen too many posts offering things up for people to send yo’s as payment, did see a couple balisongs but they were removed.

Can always try uploading to a diff image site and linking the album.
I don’t know that there’s any rules against it. I’ve def traded yo-yos for iPods and stuff back in the day. Jake Bullock traded me frisbees for a dunk at one point…

I have to talk with the wife and don’t have a list put together yet, but I will keep you in mind!

I’ve traded and sold non-yoyo stuff on here a few times. Generally the rule is to keep it YoYo related but every once in a while posting something else is “ok” but don’t treat it like eBay or a local garage sale and you should be fine. Typically you want to have YoYos in your b/s/t post as well alongside the non-yoyo thing.

I thinks it’s ok and I see people do it as long as you will take Yoyos as payment

Weapons of any type are not allowed. Other than that, if it’s not yoyos keep it appropriate for the general audience here.

They would likely be taken down as well. They have in the past.
