This is a trading method that used to be used for Magic trading quite alot on usenet before the internet came along, I thought that this community might benifit from it so I thought I'd try one.

Below are two lists my wants list where each item is ascribed a number of points and the auction list which has three columns: item Bid and Bidder. If you want to bid on something simply tally up the points of your bid, copy the whole auction list into your post replacing your higher bid with the previous bid, and the name of whose bid you beat with your name and at the bottom, empasize BOTTOM of your post list the items that you added up to achieve the total points of your bid.

Apart from that I don't care if you give me 30 of the same thing to achieve your bid, my wants are set up in such a way as to accomodate that. I'll also empasize, copy the entire list into each bid, that saves me bookeeping work, and saves bidders scrolling around to find the most current bid.

When no bids have come in on something for a while you will see I have typed AWARDED:somename. Don't bid on that item anymore.

It is also good form to copy the wants on your post since this list is rather brief, to save other scrolling around.

Please note the points assigned below reflect my desire for stuff, not that stuff's value so don't spam me with commentary on it.

Please note I have multiples of many of theese for trade, which is why percentages don't appear. Don't ask me for percentages if you are offering crap for crap (crap has mostly 0's anyway and if I got one with good percentages I prolly use it). If your bid is getting above 100 I'll let you know whats available and you can pick. Also if you have been awarded an item and it appears again reset with bid to zero that just means I put the next one on the block.

Addslot x2=1000(500&500)

I may retract my bid on the Custom Frame ver.00 depending on the slots. Please reply stating how many slots it has so I know whether to retract my bid or not.

I don't think point auctioning is going to work after looking at lots more trade posts and getting a better feel for the trade economy. People are giving away the kinds of things I thought could be traded for like a grinder or two, and there isn't the kind of trade volume that justifies trying to trade 20-30 things at the same time. It was worth a try though.

Sorry If I wasted your time reading the long post. Ignoring all the auction crap if anyone would like to trade for the stuff on the list you can use this thread for that.

Thanks for checking it out anyway.
