• Dragging an item that you wish to trade onto the other player.
• Double-clicking on another player who is neutral or a member of the same faction as your character.
• Selecting Start Trading from the radial menu attached to that player (to access the radial menu, place your cursor on the other character, and then press and hold the MOUSE 1 button).

Once you initiate a trade, the other player will receive a message indicating that you wish to trade. If the other player accepts the offer, a Trading window will appear.

You can trade both items and credits through the Trading window. To trade an item, drag the item from your Inventory into your side of the window. To offer credits, type an amount into the Offer Money bar. When you are ready to finish the trade, click on the Accept check box. Both players must click this check box and choose Okay from the next window to close the deal and trade the items.

ITEM DECAY AND MAINTENANCE
All items in Star Wars™ Galaxies have a decay rate. How fast they decay depends on a number of factors, including how well the items were crafted, how often they are used, and the skill of the character using the item, among others. The state of the item can be seen by its Condition rating. Open your Inventory, select an item, and then select the Examine option on the radial menu. The item's Condition rating should be shown as a fraction. As an item decays, the first number of the fraction will decrease. When that number reaches zero, the item will be destroyed. Artisans and other crafters can perform maintenance on items to help prevent them from decaying. This requires the crafter to have the proper repair tool. For example, to repair a blaster pistol, a crafter must have enough skill in weapons crafting and a weapon repair tool. Some maintenance may also require additional resources.
