Great googly moogly, I think I just realized out how much that platinum ring with a ruby is worth…

**MHaye** , would you be willing to trade 6 gold for your electrum necklace

**Oredigger** - cards on the table…what will you give us for the wand?

Has anyone seen \*\*Santo Rugger \*\* and **MHaye**?

To be honest, I have no clue what its worth. I just want it.

This is of course not blackmail, but rule 19 might be of interest to your trading partners. I of course hold that rule.

I am going to decline at the current time… based on my current state of knowledge, it appears that I got really shafted relative to everyone else with regard to what I started with. And since I am assuming that in fact we all started off on relatively equal grounds, I suspect that that earring is probably of great value based on some rule I haven’t seen. Would be _very_ interested in seeing any rules that might clarify this situation…

No, I would not.

However, I might be willing to trade it for something else. Make me a decent offer this time. IAny coinage included in the deal must be platinum.

I haven’t seen Santo for a while. I’ve been reading along but not posting much primarily because I’m struggling to keep up with what goes on.

I believe that I still have an offer on the table with him, but I can’t remember. Since there’s been a lot of water under the bridge since I last thunk, I withdraw all my open offers.
