sinjin#999: I will offer a look at scroll #16 to one or possibly two persons/corporations but absolutely no more than two based on what is offered to me in return. You may consider this an auction with a reserve.

[QUOTE=chrisk]  
**Thing Fish** are you aware that you’ve already traded a look at rule 1 from **Meeko**? You showed rule 12 in exchange.  
[/QUOTE]

No, actually I don’t remember that, and I don’t have any record of what rule 1 was. I haven’t deleted any PMs from this game, so I am pretty sure you never sent that to me. If I did in fact make that trade, please PM me again and I withdraw my acceptance of this offer.

[QUOTE=MHaye]  
Offer MHaye # 18 to Santo Rugger or Thing Fish

A look at Scroll 12 in exchange for a look at a single Scroll that I hold and you do not of your choice.

Offer open until either party accepts, or I acquire knowledge of rule 12 elsewhere.  
[/QUOTE]

Counteroffer: Having looked at what you have, you\* really\* need to know about Rule 12. I think this should be worth a platinum piece to you.

In general, I would be very open to forming a partnership with pretty much anyone at this point. ArizoPhi, we could make it a 3 way deal and unite our pair of earrings!

Meeko Offer S 27 MHaye, My Secondhand information of 12 for 1 of your silver.

Meeko Offer S 28 MHaye, Your Black Wand for 1 of my silver.

A Repost, to rejog the memory.

ThingFish.

For the moment I’m going to withdraw 18A.

My original offer - knowledge for knowledge - remains open, but I decline your offer of a sight of Scroll 12 for a platinum piece.

I still don’t have any copper pieces to trade, so I can’t take S29. I don’t want to sell you the wand for a CP and then give the copper back for the knowledge of a rule. So S30 is out of the question, at least until I’ve seen the rule.

It’s all comming back to me. Thats why the copper didnt work in the first place.

Mhaye, you will see 12, I think we all know this.

It is a bargain for a plat.

Its more of a bargain for a silver, copper, or what ever I would offer you.

Withdraw Meeko S 29 and S 30

MHaye. Let me know when I can make an offer for the wand again.

Thingfish, you rejected the look at 1 for 1 copper, correct?

If Thingfish did indeed reject; -I do not have any Open offers currently.
