[/QUOTE]

Thank you for asking. Portfolio submissions will officially start after the close of trading at 9 pm tonight, though if anybody has to leave early and wants to close out from now on they can go ahead.

If porfolios are not in by 5pm EDT tomorrow I’ll assume every treasure item is carried into town.

[QUOTE=Meeko]  
MHaye, In spite of the Haggle Freedom of Information act, the deal has still survived.

My ruby for your wand, scroll 6 and 8 is still doable. (I think its Offer S 43 now.)  
[/QUOTE]  
Apologies for taking so long.

If my back-of-an-envelope calculation is accurate, we are currently level. If we do this deal, you gain more than I do and we are no longer level. I don’t think I want that. So I’m going to decline this offer.

My calculations assume that I know all the rules I need to to evaluate this situation. If I don’t, it’s probably too late to rectify that now.

:smack:

I forgot you had 9.

It also just makes your gain from this trade larger, while not changing mine (because I’d correctly calculated mine).

Counteroffer to Meeko S43.

My black wand for your ruby gem, straight swap

Last chance kids to take a peak at scroll #16. I’ll give you a hint: It talks about jewelry in detail. Might change your decision on what you want to include in your portfolio. 🆒

Sorry I should have been more clear. I don’t want any looks at scrolls. Just hard currency in the form of gems, jewels and real or costume jewelry. I don’t know enough rules for one more to make a difference.
