augies Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 I am relatively new to geocaching. I have only placed two cache's so far. I was wondering what is the worst case of "trading down" you have seen or heard about? I put a $20.00 video game in a cache and someone traded a golf ball for it! That is my worst so far..

That would be trading up, not down. The person doing the trade ends up better off (up), than when they started. Trade Up: To trade something in for something else of greater value or price.
