"One Red Apple" Social Bartering Experiment.
In akin to the "One Red Paperclip" experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_red_paperclip) I wanted to see if the same could be done via another medium: UOSA
I will start with a single red apple and barter my way up just to see how far it will work, Documenting my trades all along the way. There are no goals set for this experiment. Just what the player community has to offer.
The Rules are as follows:
1) All Offers need to be done via these Forums, either by Posting to this topic or by PM.
2) NO GOLD is to be exchanged. This will be by barter ONLY.
3) No multiplying of the same offer. (Ex. trading 5 apples in exchange for 1 Apple.)
4) Barter must be deemed "noticeably improved" (Ex. No Trading an accurate silver katana for a supremely accurate silver katana)
5) Please keep the barter improvements in "reasonable" increments.
6) Please be imaginative, fun, and unique in your offers.
So, That being said...
Duke Jones traded One Red Apple for One GM Explosion Trapped Box
Duke Jones traded a GM Explosion Trap Box for an Empty Runebook (0/9 Charges)
Duke Jones traded a Runebook for a chainmail suit.
Duke Jones traded his suit of GM armor for an Empty Jar
Duke Jones traded an empty Jar for a Large Boat
Duke Jones traded a Large Boat for 2 vouchers for 30 minutes of Blackfoot's Time
Duke Jones traded Blackfoot's Time for 3 Great Silver Weapons
-Silver Exceedingly Accurate War Axe of Vanquishing
-Silver Fortified Accurate Bardiche of Vanquishing
-Silver Fortified Eminently Accurate Halberd of Power
All Items are "It looks unused." for Arms Lore.
What will be Next???

We're looking for something more valuable than what I have.

Please keep the value of items to the corporal standard, Thank You.
It shouldn't be too hard to trade something slightly more valuable than a trap box.

The Item catalog for UO is Immense! I'm sure we can think of some really inventive trades. We just need to be creative.
