What is Sidila.com?
Sidila.com is a marketplace that enables you to trade items you have, but don't use or want, for items you really need. You may also buy and sell items as you would on any other web site. When you list items for trade, Sidila automatically searches the database for members looking for the items you have for trade, and who have the items you want. When they are found, you are notified by email, and you are given a trade reference number. Using the trade reference number, you may find listings of the items you will potentially receive in return for the items you have for trade. You may then:
(1) Email your trading partner with questions about the items
(2) Reject the trade because it doesn't fit your needs
(3) Accept and complete the trade

How do I price an item for sale?
It is customary when pricing items, to create a sliding scale based on the condition of the item. For example, price items that are in perfect condition, 70 percent of their cost when new, while for items that are still saleable but past their prime, price them at 30 percent of their new cost. Be aware that some products retain their value better than others. Desktop computers, for example, have very poor resale value because of rapidly changing technology, while LCD monitors hold their value because technological advances aren't as quick or dramatic. Ultimately, the proper price for your items is the price that others are willing to pay for them. Normally you will get top dollar for items that are in excellent condition and in great demand.

How do I know an item is fairly priced?
Carefully research item prices before engaging in trading. You should be able to differentiate between a good price for an item, and a great one. More importantly, you should be able to spot a poor deal, and avoid it. However, be aware that negotiating is part of the trade process. If you believe the price of an item is a bit high, you may contact the trader by email (using their mailbox number) and negotiate a lower price.
