This is the official [b][i]Paperclip Trade Thread[/i][/b] now, because they were beginning to plague the forums.
A paperclip trade is where you start out with something of little value, and you trade it with something slightly (Or much) larger value. In the end, you should have an item of much larger value than when you originally began.
I currently have [b]4[/b] trains up!

Hello @Purpleater13! It appears "paperclip" trades are about to take over Forum Games. As you have the oldest thread, we're designating it the main thread for this game. Thank you!
edit: I edited your title to reflect this. Thank you!

edit: I edited your title to reflect this. Thank you!
how should we organize this now so that every one can find where the current trades are?
@grimgloom, however you want to. After quite a bit of review, we determined they are mostly game like due to the uneven trades being sought. Having them here makes the most sense and having them in one thread prevents the forum from being overrun.

[size=1]not sure how well this hub will work but let's try it out...[/size]
Hello! I've decided, like many people, to make my own paperclip trade post.
A few quick guidelines:
- The value of the item(s) you offer must not be less than the value of the item you are trading for. With that, if the auction house price is more than it should be, you can offer less. If it's less than it should be, please offer more.
- Please don't combine a bunch of items together. Unless the value of the trade line is high, the number of different items should not exceed 3 or so.
- I can choose to not accept your trade, end a trade, add new trades, whenever.
- Please send the item using a two-way cr.
If you want to see something as a trade option, feel free to ask!

Apparently this is where the paperclip trades are now! Lol
[Size=7]A[/Size][size=4]s you enter through the tent flap, the smell of burning....something...assaults your nose. You have to blink a few times to let your eyes adjust to the dim interior, but eventually you can make out, in the guttering glow of a few well-used candles, a gargantuan cauldron squatting in the middle of the space. You hear shuffling and the tinkling of glass, but can't seem to find the source....until you realize there's a tiny blue fae dragon peering over the far lip of the cauldron, standing atop a wobbling stack of books. Her arms are full of vials and beakers, and she looks on the brink of teetering over, when she flaps twice to alight herself on the lip of the cauldron. The books go [i]WHUMP[/i] as the entire stack collapses.
Abruptly she seems to realize she isn't, in fact, alone in the tent and glances up sharply.
[i][b]"WELL? What are you doing still standing there? This experiment can't run itself!"
[/b][/i]
She seems to have mistaken you for her lab assistant. Peering at her, you realize she is, in fact, blind. Her eyes stare blankly from beneath her hood, but there is a keen intelligence to her despite the fact that she appears to be looking slightly to your left.
[i][b]"Hand me what's in that chest, and we'll see if we can't spruce it up a bit,"[/b][/i] she says. [i][b]"What could possibly go wrong?"[/b][/i]
