… Hmmm.

Something tells me my math was off. And I don’t mean with the offer.

I think your math was off with Rule 7. Or, perhaps you didn’t tell me rule 7 at all, and you have an INCREDIBLE good guess at rule 6.

**Withdraw Meeko S 33**

You were that close to your set. If only.

I must be missing something you have seen 13 right? Plus the addition for 7. Not to mention I’m using copper which is worth silver to you but only copper to me. Oh well. I’ll reoffer if you come to your senses.

I Did, at one time trust you on 7.

Now, However, before I let you complete your set of jewelry, Im gonna wanna see 7, firsthand. And then, I might be open.

Copper is still copper to you. That is all that matters, What it’s worth to me, only comes into play after the deal is over with.

Meeko.

I point out that I hold a copy of 6. Not only that but I can tell you something about 7, since I’ve seen it but don’t hold a copy.

Fancy an exchange of hearsay information?

In terms of stimulus, I’m not sure. Is there any player who’s been inactive for a very long time? The usual way we stimulate activity near the end of a Haggle session is to do a foreclosure auction. 😃

If there’s going to be an auction, it would have to be **Santo Rugger** , who hasn’t posted here since the first day, though he’s been active elsewhere on the dope. I’ll message him, see if I can get a response, because I suspect it might be strategic silence.

Santo also has 12. I still have a trade offer open with him for that, remember?

I’ll come back to you on the second-hand trade this evening; I want to see if the auction materialises first. (I’m on BST so that would be sometime in your afternoon).

Yes, just when you think this game is closing up, other things open.

Then again, we have 2 days left of play, correct?
