We're in the middle of a SwapShop evaluation, and I thought I'd pass on a graph showing how the usage of the Swapshop has risen exponentially over the past year for you guys to take a gander at. It only records the last week of last June, and the first week of this September. Also, a lot of the initial trades were people who were listing all the trades they'd had on Dakka altogether. Either way, it's an interesting little piece of data.

Ketara... a man in the shadows, but a man of many talents! Sweet graph statistics . And cool to see that usage has gone up!

How do you know how many trades took place, they happen in pm and emails.

Probably based upon the +1's from people posting in that part of the forum.

I add up all the reputable trader credit, and then divide by 50%, since usually both sides give a +1. It only gives a rough figure, there's probably more trading going on, but that's a minimum.

So this doesnt take into account the ones that don't give the +1 (cuz it really cant)? Quite good to see the high use numbers.

Hmm I should take note. never know when I need some trading

I've used the swap shop for the first time about 2 months ago and found it to be a great service. I have since used it again.
