Hello community,

so I wanted to trade for a game I already have in my library on barter, but because I already own it, I'm not getting any search results. Iextensively googled the issue, seemingly found a solution that recommended setting an "extra" tag to the game, but it doesn't work. I tried all the settings, with numbers, with custom add, in all theavailbale sections, but my settings are not recognized or honored, the game remains untradeable for me.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this? In a "barter for dummies" easy to follow step by step instruction? Thank you in advance ♥

go to the game page and check who has it on the tradable list https://barter.vg/i/1530/?
maybe try to add it to your wishlist?

or make your own post request to
https://barter.vg/u/5b8/t/m/?
tradeGame=0&wishGame=GAME_ID&tradeUser=0&showAllMatches=on&findMatches=Find+Matches
where GAME_ID is the game you want to find from barter

example:
you want a copy of CrossCode https://barter.vg/i/10778/?
you send a post request to https://barter.vg/u/5b8/t/m/?
with this body
tradeGame=0&wishGame=10778&tradeUser=0&showAllMatches=on&findMatches=Find+Matches

Did both, but when I attempt to create an offer, the game does not appear on the list.

I think it might still be in the in your "Games in library" section of trade partner's games, which by default is closed, hence easy to miss with search function

That sounds useful. Now the only issue I have that I can't earch for matches, the site's not giving me any result because of the extra thingx not being recognized for some uncomprehensible reason.

You have to add 'extra' tag AND set the # amount to 2

It's so annoying. Did that on both the available sections ... twice! doesn't yield results.

Your barter profile offer preferences is set to "Games from my wishlist only".

Edit the setting by adding "Games from My Library" to the list of acceptable games.

Ivdid that, saved preferences ... "search for matches" still doesn't show any result.

I even went ahead and removed the game from my library (hopefully I'll be able to get it back later), but the sync is not real time either.

sigh

barter never was that hard before :(
