    I REALLY needed the chickenwire and I was tired of getting Tetanus. don't know what my trade partner wanted with it, but he seemed to be really excited about the quality of the meathook. I think all sides came out on top with this one.

    As long as everybody happily came in the exchange of serviceable goods, you did it right.

    I heard this one got done a long time ago................

    There was once a town called “Manna-Hattin,” at the mouth of the Hudson River. Peter Minuit, representing the Dutch West India Company tasting group, approached a group of Indians on the island and traded the land for some beads, cloth, and trinkets worth about 60 Dutch guilders, or about $24.

    Pretty sweet deal, he didn't even throw in any "firewater" extras.

    Now that is the kind of trade the new breed of BA traders strive for!
    Everything old is new again.

    I sent out a bunch of assassin as extras. holding beer for ransom is dumb. send out the beers, get some beers who cares.
    oh and I traded some darkness for bcbs.
