I only have done one trade and it was recently. Had a bait for sale and was offered a trade. Noticed that he was young and didn't have any feedback. I told him the only way was me receiving the bait and then mine would go out. Because they were $200 baits didn't want to risk it. Everything went just as planned. I might have done it differently if it was a $50 bait but it's what makes you comfortable.
