| UPDATED 2/6 Inspired by the story of massive trading that started with just a single red paper clip - http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/, I have decided to start the maxminis version.
The rules for this project are simple. I start with one item, and see how far I can get, just by trading. The only constraints to this version is that whatever is offered in trade has to be related to the maxminis site in some way (i.e. DDM, SWM, AAM, DBM, or related to any of those products).
Please send me your offers through the trade interface, and only serious participants, please. Normal trading rules apply, if you have fewer than 10 completed trades on this site, you will send your end first. Anything sent out from me will be packaged securely in a box, and will be sent with delivery confirmation (if within the USA).
To start off, I have up for trade 1 Wrackspawn with stat card. I can't think of any D&D mini that would be worth any less than it, so I think that it would be the place to start. I will update this post whenever a trade has been agreed to and what the details of the trade are.
I look forward to hearing from you!

| Don't misrepresent the mini, it's not in it's original bag. I put it in an empty bag and sealed it with a lighter to protect it during shipping. Unless I did a much better job than I remember it should be obvious.
I don't want someone who specifically wants a bagged mini getting upset with you because of something I did. | | | Champion of Gromph Baenre | |

| Oh, oops. My mistake. I did not look at the mini very close. I checked the box to see that both it and the card were there, and saw it in a bag. I will update the main post to reflect that.

| No problem. My first thought when I saw your post was "I sent him one of my bagged ones???". Then I remembered shipping it out and not having much in the way of packing material so I put it in a bag to protect it a little better.
I'm a "worst case scenario" type of guy and was concerned that someone might get upset with you if they thought they were trading for a bagged mini because of the way that I shipped it to you. | | | Champion of Gromph Baenre | |

| Trade offer is on its way. Happy to negotiate to something else if necessary.
Edit: let me know if you get it, the trading interface is acting kinda glitchy for me right now.

Dave,
No, I didn't get anything. I was out of town over the weekend, and had some bad news once I got back, plus an issue with a computer virus at home. Can you resend?
Thanks! Will do. I'll do it from home, so give me a couple of hours. Dave | | Knowledge Arcana editor issues 5-9, Phoenix Lore Magazine editor, assistant editor for Rite Publishing;

| Wow, I was thinking that you would be spending enough in postage to mail the various items that you would have been able to purchase whatever the end result was straight out instead of paying all the shipping costs...
Already at a SWM rare? Wow. I thought that would take longer.
Fun idea. | | "Look to God and live." Alma 37:47

Fun idea. I know that I will be spending an inordinate amount of money on shipping in the long run, but I am willing to do so for the sake of the experiment. And if I end up with something really cool at the end, then all the better. And yes, I have to thank Star for ponying up the SWM rare. | | KD Minister of Economy, Organizer of The Maxminis Red Paper Clip Project

Okay, I just re-sent the offer.
Dave
Thanks for the offer, and I think I will re-state in this thread what I tried to explain in my reply. Please note that this in an experiment. I am not looking for specific minis on my H/W list. I am also not looking to trade away anything from my H/W list in addition to the current FOR TRADE on the RPC project, only what is listed there. I am more than happy to make a trade with someone that combines a trade for my H/W list stuff with the RPC, in order to save on shipping, but the RPC itself should be treated as separate. | | KD Minister of Economy, Organizer of The Maxminis Red Paper Clip Project

How's this going? I might want to get in on it at the next stage. I currently have a General Veers rare from SWM available for offers. Only two trades so far, but it's been interesting. | | KD Minister of Economy, Organizer of The Maxminis Red Paper Clip Project
