IC trade organization post

[devoutish]

To facilitate the spread of supplies, requested goods and goods available for trade may be listed here. ALFIE SOLOMONS may be contracted as broker for an additional fee to be negotiated by the parties involved. Brokerage services may include:

Negotiation of the trade deal
Enforcement of the pre-arranged terms of the trade deal
Delivery of goods

Once an agreement has been reached, the broker will require a small nonrefundable deposit, to be paid as soon as possible. Full payment will be due once the trade has been completed.

Participants must be aware of the risk involved in trade in Norfinbury, including but not limited to significant delays caused by unforeseen town activities and the disappearance of trade goods to due the deaths of one or more participants. The broker will be responsible for making a good faith effort to see a deal done, but cannot give a 100% guarantee of success. The initial deposit is nonrefundable regardless of the outcome of the deal, except in cases of negligence on the part of the broker. If a trade fails or is cancelled for any reason, final payment will not be required. Purposeful failure to uphold any part of an agreed-upon brokerage deal will result in future blacklisting from brokerage services.

The broker will not act as an enforcer for deals made by parties who do not hire him as broker from the onset, and no protections or guarantees will be given in these cases.

[OOC: WELCOME TO TRADEAPALOOZA. As you can probably tell, this is an IC trade organization post and brokerage service run by Alfie Solomons. IC discussion of any kind is totally welcome - just make sure it's under the right header! On an OOC level, it's like the player-placed items page in that it's an independent player-run thing and not managed by the mods. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me OOCly at ihdreniel or through PM!

2/9/17 ADDENDUM: Since Alfie has been outed as the guy who stole House's supplies and characters might no longer trust him to see their supply lists/broker trades, I'm just adding a reminder that comments to this post can be filtered from him!]

i'll take the bottle of schnapps for half a bottle of olive oil i've got

text

[armoured]

I'm not so sure olive oil will work for what I need it for.

text

[rubikscomplex]

if you're using it to lube up the joints of your armor
it'll work fine
you'll just smell like olive oil

[armoured]

I'm also not so sure I should be giving you things to help you be intoxicated.

[rubikscomplex]

dude, srsly?
i'm high on vicodin 24/7
and you're worried about a liqueur???

text

[armoured]

I don't know if you think your addiction is funny, but it's really not.

[Someone is worried about you, Dr. House.]

I don't even know how alcohol might react with those pills.

[devoutish]

Do you also like liqueur?

[rubikscomplex]

i like anything with a kick at this point
why?
got some liqueur?

[devoutish]

Banana flavoured.

[rubikscomplex]

i have a condition if i'm gonna trade with you, solomons
no guard dog
he stays home or outside on his leash

[devoutish]

Then you'll agree to come alone too, I'm sure.

[pistolproof]

[ Fuck you House, Jack wants that schnapps too-- ]

Ive got a Scarf if You give Me the Schnapps, eh?

[rubikscomplex]

[Fuck you harder, Sparrow.]

i've got a hospital bedsheet that can act double duty as a giant scarf and thin blanket along with the olive oil
this rube just arrived
you don't want him trading away vital clothes

[armoured]

Don't be like that, Dr. House, it's not nice to call someone a rube.

[He has literally NO IDEA what a rube is.]

I can make my own decisions and my own deals.

[rubikscomplex]

rube is short for ruben
it's what we call sailors in the future

[It's absolutely not.]

don't get your metallic panties in a twist

[armoured]

[There's a long pause as he considers this. It sounds plausible, but then--]

I'm not an idiot, Dr. House. I'm not going to believe just anything you say.

[It's House, of course it was some kind of insult.]

[rubikscomplex]

[Al is an idiot, but House wants this trade. He'll hold his tongue like a good boy.]

[armoured]

Are you sure that it's a spare scarf, sir? And please don't listen to Doctor House, he butts in where he's not wanted a lot.

I have a bottle of machine oil. Trade you for the toothpaste?

[armoured]

Deal!

But are you sure you don't want more for it, it seems like I'm getting the better deal here?

[deus_ex_phs]

You're using the oil for your armor, right? I'm using the toothpaste for my teeth. Basic maintenance in both cases. Seems fair enough to me.

If you really feel like it, though, you could throw in a sauce packet or two.

[armoured]

I'll definitely throw in the sauce, which ones do you want?

And where are you, we need to work out an exchange?

[He's kind of desperate for the oil.]

Let's say this is Day 170, evening

[deus_ex_phs]

They all sound good, honestly. Maybe ranch and barbecue?

I'm up by the school. We're planning to head east after this. Where are you?

works for me

[armoured]

That might be an issue, I'm heading south in the entrance area to investigate the gate a little more.

I don't mind holding onto the toothpaste and the sauce for however long is necessary.
