    “For Trade” only posts
    Any trade also involves valuing of the product offered. The notional trading cost/value (same as sale value) must be clearly mentioned.
    The notional value = what you think it would be worth if you were to put it up for sale. It provides the other party an idea of what the product is worth to you.
