3 way trade? Been done?

Hi All,

Example:

A - wants watch from C
B - trades his watch to C, will trade watch from C to A.
C - wants watch from B

Curious if anyone's ever been involved in a 3 way trade.

The more verables the riskier the trade. But it happens all the time in basketball so it's not impossible.

Ive done a couple. Once did a 16030 to tudor chrono blue plus 116200 then traded those to 116610ln in a day. All depends on the people involved obviously. If you have a watch thats not quick to move thats sometimes a good way to move that inventory. But often its more hassle than what its worth.

Lol OK how about just focus on the title and ignore everything else.

Then I'll crawl back under the rock I came from. Lol

If everyone is involved and local I don't see an issue.

Sounds like partnering swapping to me, just leave your keys in the bowl and see what watch you come home with.

I have and you have to make sure that the other 2 are trustworthy. I did a 3 way trade before and it went well. Everyone got what they want in a timely manner.

You must have left out a detail or two. This isn't 3 way, unless B get's something. Why don't you list the watches and where they are going?

Me too.

Was completely lost by this transaction. Somehow I felt I'd start with a Rolex and end up with an Apple watch. :(
