Mahaloth

**NAF offer Mahaloth 000 - I will offer you my pink conversation heart for your pink rose.**

Same upside for you on this deal as Ben, plus you get a complete set of hearts in the process.

Pede

**NAF offer Pedescribe000- I will offer you looks at all my rules for your Red Rose and one Pink Conversation heart.**

You have to trust me that the Roses are worthless to you, but they are. You also have more pink conversation hearts than you need and my rules are almost all ones you haven’t seen.

Withdraw Ben #10. Mahaloth declined and I haven’t heard back from Pedescribe.

Pede, when you come back, I’d like to deal with you on rules.

**Oredigger** , I see what was wrong with my offer #11 – I haven’t read rule 4 yet. I’ve tapped on the Glorious Game Mod’s shoulder to resolve that.

I’m going to sit on making any more trades until I see the results of the auction but I’ll entertain any offers you guys want to make. Remember in making deals that your flowers aren’t worthless you just need to trade with me and you’ll get full value for them.

How about:

**Pede Offer #2: I give you 2 pink hearts and one red heart, in exchange for 2 roses (any combination of color)**

Can you do three pink hearts? It isn’t really worth it for me for less than that.

Although, personally, and take this for what it’s worth, my offer was much better for you than this. This isn’t bad, but mine was better.

Ya, until I know what I have to trade with and possibly figure out where I am there isn’t much I can do. I think I have a couple of out standing offers but I’m not sure.

Want to trade for your vase of water?
