Trading: Do You? What's Desirable? Thoughts?

I started running a "trading company" and noticed that it seemed like there weren't a ton more people doing it... which I guess kind of surprised me. So it got me thinking... 

 

Do people trade in DayZ? If so, why were you drawn to it? If not... why not? 

 

If you were to trade with someone, what is that "URRMRRGRRD, I have to have that!!!" item that you would want to trade almost anything you had for? 

 

Just curious... so far trading has been (for me) a great way to meet new people on DayZ and it fits my survivor/pseudo-hero personalty pretty well so far.

 

Just wondering what the public opinion is on trading in general, I guess.

I was around before the trading section hit the forums, and when it did, it was something so new. I think it just gives players a thrill that they're meeting someone new. I also think it's awesome how you decide the trade, there's no currency system (i.e. 1 grenade = 5 stanag) that you must follow.

 

One weapon I would trade everything for would be a L85 AWS, assuming there's still the odd one floating around the public hive.

There's an (evil) trading section (for cheating). I don't like it because it ruins the experience for me. Pretty much if I need something and someone doesn't give it to me, I shoot them.

Everyone has different goals for their experience, I suppose. I can respect that.

Yeah... I think the odds of finding one of those would be fairly astronomical at this point...

I like to survive on scavenging and the actions of random interactions, not loot runs and prearranged meetings.
