Trade-in Event

Question

Hola: Estoy traduciendo un documento que dice "trade-in event". As in Trade-in your old furniture...Estoy pensando algo como "evento de intercambio/canje", pero en verdad no estoy segura. Ayuda por favor.

Thanks.

evento de intercambio sounds good - AngelinaG, Dec 4, 2010

Answer 1

Como prenda de pago is used when you give something as a compromise that you are going to pay in the future the whole debt, actually I am not sure if that is the meaning of in trade of,

Answer 2

Mmm "canje" doesn't work in this case because It is more like "to interchange", like when people change tickets for merchandise.

No suggestions for how to say it in 3 words or less? :-) - 0074b507, Dec 4, 2010

Cool. Gracias. - LuisaGomezBartle, Dec 4, 2010

Answer 3

Hola:

Gfreed, gracias por tu ayuda. Entonces, ¿"canje" no te suena? Lo que pasa es que es para un anuncio y tiene que ser breve y al punto. No sé si el formato me permita poner una oración. Si la gente dona sus muebles viejos a Goodwill recibirán un crédito para una rebaja en el almacén...

Not a native, an opinion is beyond my depth - 0074b507, Dec 4, 2010

I like the idea, however. I live about 1000 feet from a Goodwill store and much to my consternation they don't accept used furniture donations. - - 0074b507, Dec 4, 2010

I don't even know how you fit "acontecimiento" on a sign. - 0074b507, Dec 4, 2010

Answer 4

What do we normally see trade-in's made on? Cars. I tried finding out how car trade-in's are worded. Here is how Trading in your used car was worded:

entregar su auto usado como parte del pago inicial

I don't think that Spanish has a simple word or two for a Trade-in or to trade in.

Answer 5

Phrasal Verbs

trade in v + o + adv, v + adv + o? ‹car/refrigerator› entregar(conj.?) como parte del pago

trade on v + prep + o? ‹beauty/disability› explotar, capitalizar(conj.?) trade: trade-in~-in sustantivo

• (article): they took my old car as a ~-in aceptaron mi coche usado como parte del pago

• (transaction) transacción por la cual se da un artículo usado como parte del pago, venpermuta f? (Col?);

You may have to use a phrase rather than a single adjective.

Se aceptan artículos usados como parte del pago.
