I got this idea from a post by nirab. In this thread post:
(1) a cigar you are looking for. Not something impossible like a sand shark or a small limited release from 15 years ago but something you believe has some shot of a geek actually having.
(2) a cigar that you have an extra of that may be on the scarce side.
The two don't need to be of equal value. They will be part of two different trades and the value will be determined by what makes the geeks happy.
They don't need to be fancy or exotic, just what you want and what you have.
This is not a 1 for 1 trade but the start of a trade.
Example - Bill has up "I'm looking for a DE feral pig and I have an extra Liberty 2011 in coffin"
Suzy is looking for the Liberty, so she PM's Bill a proposed trade that does not need a pig, anything she thinks can get the 2011. Either they work out a trade or they don't. If they do then Bill edits his post and puts some other "extra" in it' place.
At all times your post will have 2 cigars, an updated looking for and an extra.
Change your choices as often as you wish. If either stick has been posted for too long then either no one has it, no one wants it, or they don't have a viable trade.
This thread may get long and will hopefully change often so come back often and browse the trade possibilities.

I think this is a good idea but the prospect of scrolling thru a long thread may get daunting
Keeping a master list at the top of page 1 would be ideal but that means someone managing and monitoring.
How about a Google Sheet where people can post and easily search against, completed trades can then also be marked or identified

I'll take her, Shirley's a lot of fun!
I've got to trade a wonderful wife who is about to become very hard to live with when she finds out that Shirley is arriving. :biggrin:
