Maybe using a trusted third party (like a trusted member, maybe one in the eastern & one in the western hemisphere or an escrow service) for the trade.....the traders would send the ROM to the third party, when both parts of the trade are received the item is verified and the third part forwards the goods to the respective destinations.......just a thought.....

  I don't consider your buying 10 ROMs for your own use attempting to 
  coner the market--even if somewhere down the road you will be 
  selling (or swapping) them.

  If I had ROMs to sell, I'd rather sell one here for $242.50 to a 
  member who will use the ROM to make music than to sell it to Mr. 
  Markup for $200 only to turn around and list it for $285.

  A few months ago I believe there was a member who sold Mr. Markup 
  either a ROM or gear with ROM(s) for less than what Mr. Markup sells 
  them for. I would rather see someone I sorta know from the list have 
  gotten more money and someone get it who would be making music--not 
  reselling. 

  The idea of a swap database seems to be a good one. I am not sure, 
  though, how to protect swappers in the exchange. Let's see if we can 
  develop this idea further.

  Thanks for the suggestion.
