Swap mart

[biffon]

Ok thought for a bit of fun we could emulate that dude that traded his paperclip for something better and kept trading for six months and ended up with a house or some crazy shit like that.


Works like this:
i offer something then someone has to offer something slightly better, and so on.. see how far we go till interest runs out.


ok so i start who will offer me something for this:

[Bolty]

I'll offer you this for a full packet

[Bolty]

do you have a light

[Shayne]

What the hell is that?

[galeforce]

It's a London Transport card (could use it to scrape ice off your car windows?) - best you find out if there is any credit on it before you you swop it for something really important. ;)

[Bianca]

yeah - best if it is a zone 1 - 6 annual pass! ;)

[Shayne]

Knowing Bolty, the cards probably fake.

[Bolty]

No its not fake , found it in my wallet a few weeks ago after my trip to London last year. Anyway even if there is no credit , its worth 3 quid from London Underground

[Shayne]

3 quid!!! Thats like $45 squillion Aussie dollars isnt it?

[Bolty]

7.50 or thereabouts or 75 new zealanders

[Bolty]

Doesnt anyone want my oyster card?

i'll see what else i got then

[biffon]

ill take it. :D
bolty youre now the proud owner of a box of mad red!

anyone swap an oyster card with
£3 on it?

[Bolty]

I think you'll notice theyre marlboro - anyway still good
What will someone give me for them

[biffon]

aaah shit! sorry

-- hey seems to be some confusion as to how this works....
once an item is traded it cannot be recycled into the game.. so that means now someone has to find something thats slightly better than a tube pass/snow scraper. :D

i will change it slightly so that im not the one who everyone is trading with or youll have to wait for my response each time..

so its first come first serve. at this point we can say bolty is the trader - first person to offer a better item becomes the new trader and then someone has to offer them something for the item they offered

and so on...

[Bianca]

yes - being in the UK I could use the Oyster Card - so I will swap the card for my BIG Qantas mug - you'll get a great cuppa in that!

[Shayne]

A cup of coffee in that thing will get you wired for days.
