Haggle - a game of trading and secrets

[QUOTE=Hal Briston]
Mmmm…lesse…I could use an L, which is my I made that offer to Uncommon Sense. I’d have to pull back on my rules offer for that one, though.

Let’s do it this way…make your pick, 8A or 8B:
Revised Hal Offer for Priceguy:
Offer 8A: Will trade a P Card and a look at Rules #11 AND #15 in exchange for an E Card and a look at Rule #16.
Offer 8B: Will trade a P Card and a look at Rule #11 in exchange for an L Card and a look at Rule #16.

8B is accepted.

BUMP so we don’t fall off the first page.

Welcome back from the Holiday those of you who were out of town. There was a flurry of deals initially which seems to have tapered off some in the last 24hrs.

Let’s get back to it!

[QUOTE=Hal Briston]
Hal Offer #7, for Uncommon Sense: Will trade a B Card and a look at Rule #5 in exchange for an L Card and a look at Rule #10.
[/QUOTE]
Since 8B was accpepted, I’m going to have to rescind Hal Offer #7.

Sorry for the lapse fellas, busy weekend.
US offer #3; I would like to see Rule 20. Sachertorte, you may see rule slip 2, 10, or 17 (pick one) in exchange.

Us offer #4; I would like to see Rule 3. percypercy, you may see rule slip 2, 10, or 17 (pick one) in exchange.

US offer #5; Doctor Who, I’m in need of an O. You may chose a rule (possibly rule 10?) to view in exchange for that letter.

Heh…if this were a sci-fi movie board, I might pick up some points there.

Hal, are you interested in making a deal for your U Card? We don’t have any rules to offer each other. How about…

For Hal Briston, You get my T card in exchange for your U card.

percypercy, since the thread is moving and you might miss it, my offer to you still stands:

Priceguy offer #9: I offer percypercy two F cards and a look at rule 7 for an I card and a U card.

Oh, now we’re going to battle for stuff… a new level of complexity to the game:

Yoohoo! percypercy I also have an offer on the table for you. And it’s way better than dumb old Priceguy’s as you already know from your rules knowledge.

USCDiver Offer #18: for percypercy; I will give you a P card and a look at Rule 8 in exchange for a U card and a look at Rule 14

[/QUOTE]
Sorry… I already have U in my “do not trade” file, so it’ll take a lot more than a consonent that I already hold to get me to part with the rarest vowel in the game.

I can see what you’re going for so I know what you don’t want to give up. So, let me make a pair of proposals. They’re admittedly steep, but that U Card is a valuable commodity:

Hal Offer #9A, for USCDiver: My U Card in exchange for your C, J, K and Y Cards.
Hal Offer #9B, for USCDiver: My U Card in exchange for any two of the C, J, K or Y Cards (your choice) and either Rule Slip #2 or #8 (your choice – and to clarify, that would be for the slip itself, NOT a look at the slip).

Uncommon Sense, I notice you’re trying to get some rules. I have several that you haven’t seen yet. How’s about:

USCDiver offer #20: for Uncommon Sense You get a look at Rules #8 and Rule #19 in exchange for your Z card

[QUOTE=Hal Briston]

[/QUOTE]

Ouch those are steep! Ok, I got another couple of deals pending with looks at Rule 8 involved, so let me see if I get a bite on those before I trade it away…

I’m also not sure how the trade of a Rule card (as opposed to a look) will affect the game in the long run…

I need to contemplate a bit.

Understood…lemme know.

Now then, I see that percypercy is online. Care to make a deal?
Hal Offer #10 for percypercy: I’ll give you a B Card and a look at Rule #5 in exchange for an H Card and a look at Rule #14.

[QUOTE=USCDiver]
Yoohoo! percypercy I also have an offer on the table for you. And it’s way better than dumb old Priceguy’s as you already know from your rules knowledge.

USCDiver Offer #18: for percypercy; I will give you a P card and a look at Rule 8 in exchange for a U card and a look at Rule 14
[/QUOTE]
I’m open for counteroffers, percypercy. If you want a P card, I’ve got one.

[QUOTE=USCDiver]
Uncommon Sense, I notice you’re trying to get some rules. I have several that you haven’t seen yet. How’s about:

USCDiver offer #20: for Uncommon Sense You get a look at Rules #8 and Rule #19 in exchange for your Z card
[/QUOTE]

Highly unlikely,
(US Offer/Counter #6) unless you can get your hands on the Rule 20 slip, then I might trade looks at Rules 8, 15, 19, and 20 for the Z card.
It’s the only thing I’ve got man!

US offer #7; NAF1138, A look at Rule 20 in exchange for a look at a Rule of mine (your choice, one).

So it’s rules you’re looking for, Uncommon Sense? Well, how’s this sound –

Hal Offer #10 for Uncommon Sense: I’ll give up a peek at Rule Slips #5, #11 and #15 in exchange for a look at Rule Slip #14 and an N Card.

unfortunately, I can’t do that at this point.

US offer #8; Billyb0b, For one of your A’s, a look at two of the Rules you have not seen yet, namely 10 and 14.

Okay, I’m curious about something.

We’re maybe five and a half days in, many of those being the memorial day weekend.

Do a majority of players still want to stick to my original schedule? Or is there any sort of unspoken feelings that setting an earlier deadline might make the game more fun? I just sort of figured that this was a good time to be asking.

To refresh your memory, from the kickoff:
