    First time and not sure how to start. It looks like replying is disabled on each ISO/FT thread. Do you just start a direct conversation or is there a "start trade" process?

    Thanks!

    Click on the users *avatar* and then click on *start conversation*.

    Otherwise, *member search* for a particular member under the trading tab on top and follow the above procedure.

    There is no "special way" to start a trade. Simply start a conversation in regards to a trade and go from there. Use the *trade request* when finalizing a trade.

    If you need any further assistance, feel free to start a conversation with me.
    Cheers,
    Dave

    If someone is ISO zombie dust. I send a message titled "Zombie Dust" to let them know that I have it and then we negotiate from there if the other party is interested

    When they say you got a deal? How do you get the shipping address?

    For example Jon Doe reply to my offer and said " your offer is light, inculde two more local brew from your area and you got yourself a deal.

    Where do I get his shipping info?

    In your discussions. You ask them for shipping info.

    Example:

    Trader "X": let's do this deal. I'll send you a Chocolate Rain for your (3) New Glarus Belgian Red.

    My addy
    John Doe
    Bourbon Street
    Dayton, Ohio 55555
    Cell# 654-734-8879

    Please send a trade request and your shipping info and we can work out a ship date

    You've likely come across this but make sure the trade is accepted in the BA system (trade request is accepted) before shipping anything. This is a must. Good luck with your first trade! Cheers.
