DTM Swap Rules


Community: This swap event as with all DTM swap events is a social event for our community to come together and get to know each other better.

Swap Start: Swapping will only begin once all participants have registered and all items have been displayed. All participants are encouraged to review the items on display beforehand.

Order of Swapping: Participants will pick their swap order number before the swap begins.

Exchange Equity: For every item you bring to the event, you can swap an item in return, as follows:

  • 3 Items In: You can take 3 items out.
  • 2 Items In: You can take 2 items out.
  • 1 Item In: You can take 1 item out.

Fair Value Consideration: When you check-in for the event and register your swap items a DTM rep will review your item and assign it to a swap table. For each registered item you will receive a corresponding token. The value of the items you bring in must correspond to the items you select from the tables. This is based on the DTM Credits assigned to each item. Value is determined based on the condition and quality of the item and the recommended post value of the item on the DTM Marketplace.

The Swap Tables

  • White Table: Items valued between 0 to 100 DTM Credits.
  • Red Table: Items valued between 100 to 250 DTM Credits.
  • Green Table: Items valued between 250 + DTM Credits.

Scenarios

  • If you contribute 3 items, and receive 1 green token and 2 red tokens. You can swap 1 item from the green table and 2 items from the red table.
  • If you contribute 2 items, and receive 1 red token and 1 white token. You can swap 1 item from the red table and 1 item from the white table.
