IT'S OVER!!!
I traded for Inferno with IlikedisneyandVmk on 1/8/08. You can read the whole thread if you have a few hours of your life to throw away. If I were you I would just skip to the end. If there is any new information that's where it will be. (did someone say "quest for inferno?")
For the record, here's the post that kicked the whole thing off:
I saw this web site a while back where a guy started with a red paperclip and was trying to trade it up to a house. Through a series of trades he now has an afternoon with Alice Cooper up for trade.
Web Site: One Red Paperclip
I was thinking about VMK and trading and how value is really all about perception. One person's green flips is another person's white snowman. It's about what you precieve as valuable. Then I began to wonder what would be the VMK equivalent of the "One Red Paperclip" experiment.
So here's the deal. I'm going to start with the same thing that most new players start with, an NPC pin. Specifically, I going to start with the very humble "Shrunken Ned" NPC pin. And I am going to try to get to the holy grail of VMK pins, The Dancing Inferno Magic pin. I'm going to try to get there one modest trade at a time. Each and every transaction will be bargained right here on our beloved DIS Trades and Wishes Forum.
So, what will you give me for my Shrunken Ned pin? It doesn't have to be another pin. Let the trading begin!
