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!]

You can do what you like with your things, and I can do what I like with my things. Right now, the toys are my things.

["Stall him," House said. Go on with negotiations is what Ecks hears over the blood roaring in her ears.]

you do not have use for them
you have use for the things I have.
the clear string is very good and I will increase quantity for more fake animals.

private

[devoutish]

You'll increase the quantity by how much?

private

[ecks]

[Is this stalling him? She suddenly has hope she might just make a deal while House is tapping away at his own tablet. She's overexcited, but not so overexcited that she forgets to bid low.]

arm length per animal

private

[devoutish]

That's the deal I already rejected. We are still on for two arm lengths for the one cat, yeah? I will offer you one more for the same amount. Two arm lengths per cat, four arm lengths total. Then we're done dealing with the string.

private

[ecks]

yes. agreed. two cats for four arm lengths of string.

[Is that a good deal? She doesn't know. The string is a finite resource and a valuable one, but there is a good deal of it on the spool. Surely she can spare this much, and she is very eager to secure another deal.]

private

[devoutish]

[He sends the same picture to her again - four cats and the shark.]

Pick which ones you want.

private

[ecks]

I want the fish and also the cat on the right side.

[She already has a cat. She wants them all, but if she might only get two she had better get the fish, because she does not have any fish yet.]

private; I'M SORRY I thought I replied to this

[devoutish]

Done. They'll be saved for you, as long as you save your items for me.

Where are you?

private | 'sokay!

[ecks]

I am in the new tunnels to the east

I want the other cats also

private

[devoutish]

We can discuss that.

private

[ecks]

yes, we can discuss that. we can discuss that now.

private

[devoutish]

Have you got more to offer, then?

private

[ecks]

I showed you a picture of the other things I have to trade

private

[devoutish]

You don't have anything more to bring to the table?

private

[ecks]

bring to what table?

private

[devoutish]

Do you have anything else to offer?

private

[ecks]

what do you want?

[She has to bait him into making an offer, or she won't be able to do what House told her to do.]

private

[devoutish]

I haven't got a shopping list.

private

[ecks]

I do not know what you want

private

[devoutish]

I think we should discuss this in person when we meet. Better to avoid more situations like this one.

private

[ecks]

[One last try!]

I think you should make an offer

private

[devoutish]

We're going in circle again, Ecks.

private

[ecks]

we would not go in circles if you would make an offer
