Rule #1: Make your trade BEFORE you get to the lot and NEVER WIRE MONEY via Western Union always PayPal for online merchant services.

Why? The Market value of a ticket before lot is different than once you arrive on lot.

If you wait until you arrive, the market price on lot may be free, cheap, or inflated, causing trade uncertainty. To avoid this issue make your trade before you get to the show.

1) If traders see that tickets are hard to come by and people are selling above face value while on lot, they may be encouraged to just end the trade, get rid of their tickets, and sell them for above face instead of waiting to meet up for your trade at face value; regardless of them committing to you online weeks prior.

2) Waiting to meet on lot allows extra time for ill variables to come into play. Allowing this extra time, along with difficulty in details of meeting before a show, may cause the trader to just get rid of them quickly instead of meeting up and leaving the person waiting for their ticket, or to get rid of their extras. Again, this could occur even if they agreed to trade with you weeks before online.

Eliminate this from happening to you and MAKE YOUR TRADE OR SALE PRIOR TO ARRIVING ON LOT!

Rule #2: Keep it FACE VALUE: even if tickets are going for more or less. The idea with CashorTrade is for all fans to get inside and for no one to lose out. If you sell your ticket for $20 bucks you are losing. If you sell it for $100 bucks they are losing. Help each other out and Embrace the Face!

Rule #3: FOLLOW THROUGH: As we stated in Rule#1, if you commit to a trade you stay true to your word and follow through with the arrangement you agreed upon. Backing out last minute leaves the member without tickets....or a bunch of extras they can't get rid of. Stay true and stay honest. We give you the tools to choose a real fan to trade with....so act and be a real fan. Think of it as if you were on the other side. It is a social responsiblity amongst the community we all pledge to.

Rule #4: Choose a profile on the board that you can trust.
We have developed CashorTrade.org as a TOOL to help you find tickets and fans you can trust. Like craigslist we are a simple bulletin board of potential trades. Yet, UNLIKE craigslist we are FANS!!!!! We have structured CashorTrade.org to allow members to build their profiles to create trust and encourage members to trade with them. Basically, the more detailed your profile is the more trustworthy you become.  This will increase the number of people who would be likely to trade with you. With so many trades being posted to the site each day, and so many people looking for the same tickets, what sets you apart from the others? Well, seeing how we do not allow above face value offers, YOUR PROFILE SETS YOU APART!  So build your profile and encourage more trades.

Rule #5: The Details:
- If not mailing the tickets, make arrangements to meet at a coffee shop, a hotel, gas station, or any common public safe place.
- Mail your ticket to a friend to have them make the trade for you if you would rather not travel or use the mail.
- Use PayPal to transfer funds. Both Paypal and your credit card comp nay give you amazing fraud protection. They give you the ability to dispute a transaction at any time. This is honestly the best way to secure a trade and protect yourself at the same time.
- Make sure to get a tracking #.
- Communicate with each other as much as you can. Create a relationship with each other. Build the community and become friends.
- If it is a tmaster ticket or Lnation ticket, most have an internal carbon within the ticket. If you put it up against something hard, and run your thumb nail over it, a black scratch should appear. Check for watermarks and perforations, and if the seats they tell you online actually exist on the seating chart.

Rule #6: Encourage community: Tell others about the site. Build your profiles, build trust amongst traders. Leave positive/truthful reviews.
