Chess.com Book and Video Swap

Sort:
Flamma_Aquila

I have an idea for the chess.com community.

I'm sure we all have chess books or DVD's that we have either outgrown, or no longer play the applicable opening, etc.

There should be a forum on here for swapping. I could list what book I have, and people could make me offers in trade.

For example, I sit here looking at a basically brand new copy of the Fritz Trainer DVD for the English opening. I no longer play the English, and would love to swap it for something else.

Now there may be some legalities to smooth over. Chess.com may feel it necessary or desirable to act as a clearing house or something for these transactions, to prevent someone from being stiffed. And I'm sure Erik has better things to do than mail crap all over the Earth. Perhaps we could implement some sort of trustworthiness rating system, a la Ebay.

I dunno, just a thought. What do you think?

Oh, I didn't even know that was there. Judging from the number of ads, nobody else does either.
