Ottawa gamers -- looking to trade games?

[dagibbs]

If there are any Ottawa gamers on here who are looking to trade some games in their collection, there is a trade being organised on board games geek. It is called a "math trade" and you would need a BGG account for posting in the trade lists. (A math trade, because it runs through a matching algorithm to maximise the potential trades in a group, by looking at more complex sequence than just A trades with B, but things like A gives to B who gives to C who gives to D who gives to A.)

The BGG entry is: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/43368

...boardgamegeek.com is considered too dangerous to allow us to visit from work.

They may be right, in terms of hours lost in productivity. :)

Though if that were the case, they should save us from tvtropes...

Or livejournal. ;)

I have too few games to trade anything I believe. :(

You need only have one game that you don't want, and another game on the list you might want. You don't have to have lots of games to trade.

Fair enough, I threw in my two offerings and asked for some small stuff in return.

The asking happens later. First everyone lists the games they have for trade.

Then everyone lists all the things they would accept in exchange for the games they have listed for trade.

Then someone runs a matching algorithm and determines what will, actually, trade.

Yup, in the requests thread.

Hmmmm... perhaps I could ask you to broker for me, since I'll be away at the crucial time?

[dagibbs.livejournal.com]

I would be quite willing to do so.

Will you be around to get want lists in? (Or have access?) Will you just drop anything you're going to trade with me? And I'll give you back anything that doesn't?
