I have had some offers for some trades. Guitars, amps, parts etc. I

curious...I see people propose trades all the time on certain web
sites. If you do a trade...let's just say a guitar for a guitar...how
do the two people swap in a way that it is safe for both
parties..especially when the parties are shipping across country.
There must be a safe way as I see people do it fairly often...I don't
want to get burned if I decide to go this route.

I suspect that it's just plain foolish. I mean, you're talking about
investing faith in a complete stranger. Frankly, I wouldn't
do it. What other people do is their business. Just my opinion.

Agreed entirely.

Hell, I don't even bother investing faith in people I *know* now. It's
far less fucking disappointing that way.

Once bitten, twice shy or something like that?

depends on the people really, don't let them rob you of any of life's joy
though. pity them and move on, there are good people out there who
wouldn't
wittingly do anyone any harm and try to the best of their ability to live
that way.

me? middle management and policemen are beyond redemption - soulless,
smirking automatons who've been programmed that way.

Oh man, dead on. *So* dead on. If you have a chance Grinner, please
give this a read for a chuckle. I wrote it at about 40
and 50 has put a nice sealer coat on it :-) mvm

will begin to act cruelly toward you. Why? To suppress collective guilt."

it's like these HR cunts who respond when you ask them what they do. "oh,
i'm in IT".

IT my arse.

i've seen ass lickers and suck holes without ability promoted at evey turn
of the corporate grinding wheel. then they get in these 'professional
project managers' who have not, in one day of their useless lives, cut one
single line of code, demanding the impossible be done with nothing. somehow
it's your fault if the database goes down for three days while the DBA is on
holidays.

headfirst into the firey walls of hell, a la Dante's inferno. kill 'em all i
say, let god sort 'em out.

that's why I'm a contractor.
