I was after a Gibson Dove, and I wanted to go straight to the latter rather than sell for cash and *then* go looking. It seemed more convenient when I had other stuff going on

But then your choice of choosing a guitar is basically what is offered in the trade. You are limited by choice, rather than taking the money and choosing everything on the market.
With all the "you need to try lots to find the right one", and then happy to take whatever the trade is base on the spec. It does seem odd.
Perhaps why some people trade a lot, they don't like it and keep swapping. Rather than choosing a good one to begin with?
an unrealistic amount for their Trade ! I politely tell them to go to a music store !
People who are selling and are only interested in a trade are probably looking to work a trade in their favor !
You are right cash can work better than trades but unfortunately not everyone has the cash !
My advice is there are many guitars out there so just take your time know what you want be realistic and you will find
the guitar you are looking for.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Your stuff, your right to choose. If you get a cash offer When you've specified trade (or vice versa), thank them but politely say "No"
I knew wouldn't be able to get enough cash in straight sale to then buy 2nd hand CS Tele.
I gave up in the end and Strat sold on Ebay.

I've never tried to do a trade (except in a shop), but I suppose if someone had a specific, hard-to-find guitar I wanted, I might offer them a trade of one of mine.
If I just set out to get rid of some of my own stuff, then I'd be selling, not looking for trades.
