    DS EXCHANGE is the buy / sell / trade forum on Downspike.


    Please do your own research before committing to buy in DS Exchange. Look a seller up in the seller feedback thread. Feel free to ask any questions below!

    Part A - Prepping your sh*t
    1. Determine the sh*t you wanna sell
    2. Write your username and today's date on a piece of paper (make it readable, please)
    3. Take good, clear photos of your sh*t with that piece of paper alongside it

    Part B - Posting your sh*t
    1. Let peeps know what you plan to do. Add FS / FT / ISO to the title. Make it easier for everyone
    2. Put a price tag on it. No one signed up for another season of "The Price Is Right" now, did we?
    3. Let us know if your sh*t has quirks or defects. Mention it in your posting

    Part C - Cleaning up after your sh*t
    1. Mark items as SOLD / TRADED when the transaction is done.
    2. Let us admins know (via tag in your /sold post) so we can lock your sh*t
    3. Do not delete your completed transaction (sold, closed) thread or pricing and other info for future reference.

    Other things you should know when posting your sh*t

    - No posting of illegal goods and services, please. That sh*t ain't cool
    - No photos? No post. Except ISO postings.
    - Try to use PayPal / Venmo, or cash on delivery. They protect all parties when sh*t hits the fan
    - Don't bash peeps for their prices, man. They know what their sh*t is worth
    - Nobody likes inaccurate descriptions, so keep it real, peeps.
    - The "Report" button is a super nifty tool to let us know when someone screwed up. Use it, wisely.

    From a post below:
    Just a reminder, please do all bidding and haggling IN THE POST, not via DM! ;) that way other buyers can see the current price, which damas are available and not available, etc. No need to do it privately!

    Can we go hard on the whole "no photos? No post." No one will buy it, you will get less interest. Pictures will be shared anyway because otherwise no one will give you the time of day. So just put the pictures in the original post.

    @Owen Reimann This is a general info thread not a sales thread. Please create your own sales thread and post your item there.

    Hey guys ... Cheech ;) Just checking in with a Question ....I know the rules state not to delete your posts for future reference... but honestly there are an insane amount of posts , which never get looked back upon . I’d be willing to say that the sellers would not care if these just disappeared after some time .. it’s hard to start going back through pages and think something on page five might still be for sale or around . I wish we could upkeep this a little tighter to make it more current ... I think if people knew their posts would delete after a month , that they would update the listing or creat a fresh updated one ? If you prefer to keep it going the way it is , hell , all good , but I’d love to see it cleaner or even two separate tabs for FS , and one for ISO . If someone is truely looking for something , their search will easily get buried by sale posts . .....maybe a search window in the DS Exchange page too that allows one to type in the key word ISO or. Craft Slim and it could populate hits that way to get to see exactly what you want first instead of scrolling for days haha .just a few thoughts brother , Hope all is well with you and with Steeler Nation ! Chris
