This is actually a great idea, that I'm sorry I've only just come across. :-(

My question to the designer is this: is there any way of adding to the vBay, or making vBay, a swapshop facility (ie, not bidding with money, but offering items in exchange for something)?

For example, say I would like to swap my PS3 for something; I want to be able to have people offering their items in exchange for my item... say someone else wants to offer an XBox 360 with 7 million games for my PS3, or someone else wants to offer me a 15000 inch HDTV with 901.3 surround sound system...

Not that those items would probably ever be exchanged/swapped, or that some of them would ever exist, but you get the general idea...?

Is there any way of incorporating a swapshop in this vBay?

Thanks in advance for a reply.
:-D

Before I receive a bundle of abuse from everyone, on how a swapshop wouldn't be a viable thing to have on the internet:---
Yes, I understand that this whole swapshop thing would be done purely on trust, in that without payment (ie, paypal) would probably encourage people to not swap, but steal from one another. However, this request/possibility is just a thought as at present, a simple part of something else, that, really, would have no meaning here; just the idea of a swapshop, the ability to swap items, rather than sell items for cash, is what I'm interested in.
