question about pre-order items

I pre-ordered from best buy so it is my undertsanding that I will be recieving a sheild upon release. However I'm a monk and have no use for it. So I was wondering if it is possible to trade a pre-order special item for a different pre-order item from another player.

yea i was wondering about this too, as a ranger this shield will do nothing for me, and if you can trade it, would anyone mind trading with me?

Directly from the GW FAQ:

Can I trade with someone to obtain a unique preorder item?

The unique item that is part of the preorder package is a customized item and therefore cannot be wielded by other characters.

Please please please read the stickies. Since this thread is not only in the wrong forum, but has also been answered many many times before, I'm running it through with a stick.
