We study a certain Helly-type question by Konrad Swanepoel. Assume that $X$ is a set of points such that every $k$-subset of $X$ is in centrally symmetric convex position, is it true that $X$ must also be in centrally symmetric convex position? It is easy to see that this is false if $k\le 5$, but it may be true for sufficiently large $k$. We investigate this question and give some partial results.
