My cellar is groaning and it has me thinking of trades: a bottle of ‘07 Rayas for 2x Macdonald ‘14, that sort of thing. Eric prohibits use of the site for that kind of commerce, and since I have probably 50 cases I could consider offering, it might be a lot of activity. So, don’t respond to my example, but does anyone have very good experience with this problem? Not really interested in selling wine for cash, my goal is rarities... so the question is trading. How often have you been burned? Back in college days, when I dabbled in activities that are now legal in many states but were dodgy back then, there was often a moment when things went badly wrong. Off would go your Rayas, back would come... 2 buck chuck, with the label written over “Macdonald”, if anything came back at all. Is it Wild West out there? Or are there safe ways to transact such exchanges?
