I present Family Trade, a short-lived American reality series that aired eight episodes on the Game Show Network in 2013, chronicling the daily activities of a GMC/Ford used car dealership in Middlebury, Vermont that employs the barter system in many sales of their vehicles. I have no idea why I'm so fascinated with this show; it's probably due to my affinity for a similar show, Pawn Stars (speaking of which, if the show had aired on the History Channel instead, I'm fairly confident it would have had a longer run). I've spent a long time extensively researching this show as best I can (even snapping a photo of the G. Stone Motors dealership while passing through Middlebury this summer), and I now believe it is the most extensive summary of the show one can find on the Internet. Considering this is what the article looked like when I began my work, to quote Gardner Stone himself, "I'm proud of what we have built." I think this final step will help polish the article even further and bring forward any final improvements. As always, all feedback is welcomed and greatly appreciated. -- Bcschneider53 ( talk) 20:32, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
Great work with this article. My review is focused on the prose. Once my comments are addressed, I will support this for promotion. Aoba47 ( talk) 19:57, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Very little to raise here. Ref 5: I imagine that "Addison County Independent" is a printed source and should therefore be italicised. Otherwise.sources look in good order and of the requisite reliability. Brianboulton ( talk) 13:10, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Overall the majority of the prose is easy to read and engaging. Just the minor issues from me. MWright96 (talk) 09:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Coordinator comments: Unless I've missed it, I think we still need an image review. Also, I'm not sure we've had sufficient depth of review yet. Aoba47 has gone into some detail on prose, but I'm not sure we are covered on FA criteria 1b, 1c and 1d. Therefore, I'd like a few more eyes on this. Sarastro ( talk) 21:57, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Can you provide some more details in the episode summaries? For a show that probably isn't on streaming or DVD (or is it?), I'd really prefer more information than a TV guide listing. Reywas92 Talk 06:58, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
stating this on the dealership's website and on an episode of the show: why do we need to say this in the article?
Country music artist Jamie Lee Thurston writes a jingle for the dealership (which would later become the show's theme song)Since this is the last episode, "later" is confusing. I assume that the explanation is that the events in the last episode take place before the first episode is aired, but it would be nice to have this clearer.
That's all I can see for prose. I have not checked for other sources so I can't speak to comprehensiveness. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 17:35, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
@ Sarastro1 and Ian Rose: We have received five supporting reviews now complete with an image and source check. Would either of you mind giving this nomination a run-through to see if it's ready for promotion? Many thanks in advance for all you do here at FAC. -- Bcschneider53 ( talk) 03:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
