Ok, I changed around the rules and description of this group as it pertains to Flickr's discretion. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Russ,

Thanks for the information and warning. I'll change out a few things in the rules so they don't mention the exchange of currency.

Anyone reading this little discussion so far, please contribute more knowledge as I could always use a second opinion on this topic.

As for now, please remove the prices off your items and we will stick to this group as more on the "swap" side of things.

W,
This IS a fantastic idea, but to stay within the community guidelines of flickr I'd focus on the swap...at least within the parameters of the group anyway. Here's what they have to say about it:

"Flickr is for personal use only. If we find you selling products, services, or yourself through your photostream, we will terminate your account."

If members choose to swap goods for loot that's their own business, but I think it needs to be done off-site through private e-mails.

I humbly suggest listing items for SWAP only as your title suggests. This means NO mention of cash or cost within the group. I wouldn't want anyone (including myself) to get booted over something that could have been avoided through simple discretion.

This is such a great idea!
