What is "junk" "junk trade" etc?

[ShaqAttaq]

Upon first hearing the term I thought it was just selling crappy items in the GE but reading other threads mentioning "junk trading" has led me to see that it is not that but I have no idea.

My point is I'm asking what the hell "junk trading" is :|

[King_Ankh]

"Junk" is a term given to items that, essentially, no one would buy, and if you had, you probably couldn't sell. You add these "junk" items to a trade in order to make up for the difference between an item's G.E. price and street price. For example, a set of elite black armor is one million or so according to the G.E. However, the street price is five million. So in order to go around the trade limit you would add "junk" items to the trade so the person you are selling to can actually pay street price. Confusing?

[Master_Smither]

It's just a way to bypass the trade limit legally by making the other people buy items that are hard to sell or are unsellable with the item that you are selling. But junk is a currency of it's own because once you get junk you can just resell sometime with a good item if and when you get one.
