lets say I want a taste before I decide to by the pie
Antinor01 #1 : Meeko, In accordance with your withdrawn offer I will trade you Rule 5 for Rule 1.
Boy that was quick.
Accepted.
Rejected. Sorry; I might be open to it later though; I simply don’t know enough at this stage.
Accepted.
Now how do we go about actually exchanging this? Does Chrisk send out PMs telling us what the rules we’ve seen are?
Yes, I do, or you can send the rules to each other and me if I’m not around and you’re VERY sure that the trade is legal. 
For your santo Rugger trade, you have to say if you want to trade with 12 or 13
Yes, silly me.
Santo # 4 : View Santo’s Rule 13 please.
PM-ed

Phi darling…(is it alright if I call you Phi…and by the way, have you lost weight? You look fabulous!) Any comment on that ring of yours I want? 
Antinor01, you know you need to use blue for offers, right?
True, however there is no color for pre-offer negotiating chatter. Something like ‘Hey, so-and-so, I’m interested in ______ but have no idea what to offer you for it, is there something that I have you’re interested in?’ is a good way to get things rolling though I would think.
