@55fairlane Vast majority of the trade requests/offers I see there are for normal stuff, not hard to find stuff.
Thinking they can't find what they want to buy straight up or that they don't want to pay covid-inflated prices.
Don't think they can get a decent sale price for what they have.
Mostly wishful thinking.

Why do people do anything?
Some folks live in households which operate under a "no new guns policy", however this policy could contain a loophole that as long as the number of guns in the house remains the same, there is no issue. So, a trade does not count as a new gun. Also, I suspect that some people are at the limits of the capacity of their safes, and they don't want to go buy yet another $1500 safe just because they bought a new gun so the trade situation might make sense there.

Why do people get all tore up over the way others choose to word an ad in the classifieds?
I agree. I am not in that situation, but I know someone who is. He lives by the "It's cheaper to keep her." mantra, which must be a hard lesson to learn as he is on his 3rd wife.Yeah that policy would mean I am looking for a new house.....
He apparently chooses very poorly. But not my game.
Sometimes your looking for something specific and youd rather have what you have than cash. I passed up semi local cash and made a 2.5hr trip to Fisher to trade for ammo earlier this year. The ammo i got and gun i traded ment more to me than the cash. Plus i got to meet the one and only Robert Richardson lol.
I’ve thought about putting a trade only ad in on occasion. It was for situations like having a great handgun in 9mm but wanting one in .40 more. If I sold it outright, I’d be down one gun until I could find one and who knows what the pricing would be. My thought at the time was that if there was someone with a .40 that wanted a 9mm more, and if the guns were in like condition, it would be an easy swap.
I never did post the ad though since in the end, I decided that I wanted both.
