Trading



Trading involves exchanging items or gold with other players.

Initiating a Trade


To trade with someone, a player must right-click the person and select the Trade with option. The message "Sending trade offer..." will appear in the chat box, and [player name] wishes to trade with you will appear in the other player's chat box. That person must then accept the invitation by clicking on that message. After the acceptance a trade windows will open.

However, if one of the traders has a certain interface up, such as bank, equipment stats or trading interface with another player, The other player is busy at the moment message will show up in the chat.

First Trade Window


The trade window has three main parts:


 * Your Offer - to add a trade offer player must click on an item in their inventory; to remove an already added offer must be clicked.


 * Trader's Offer - other player's trade offer.


 * Wealth transfer scale - calculates the values of all the items using Grand Exchange price as an indicator and then shows if the trade is balanced or positive to one or another player. Note if the value of items shown is too great, then a message is instead shown.Maxtrade.png

There is also an indicator showing slots left, accept and decline button.

Once either player is satisfied with the trade, Accept must be clicked to proceed. When both players have done so, the second trade window appears. If a player does not wish to trade with the other anymore, Decline must be clicked to close the trade window.

If an item is removed from an offer, a big red flashing exclamation point will appear where the item used to be with CHECK OTHER PLAYER'S OFFER! message.



Second Trade Window
The second window is to confirm the trade with a list of items being exchanged, so both players have a final chance to agree to the terms. If an item has been removed in the previous window, a red and highlighted spot with Trade modified message will show up. If one of the sides decides not to accept the offer, it can be declined without any problems.
