Here is my proposal;
I have 1 unit of trit in Jita 4 4. I will be looking to trade (via whatever means) for another item of greater value. Then this item will become the item to be swapped.
Through the process of many trades, over time the swap item will be of considerable value. When the item reaches 1bn in value it will be sold, and the proceeds split between everyone that was involved in the swaps (me included).
So if 20 people were involved in swaps, they retain the item they swapped for and 50m for example. This isn't a scam although you have only me to trust in that respect, although even if i kept the final item you would still keep the item you swapped for.
In any case I'm not doing this for any real financial gain, just want to see how the idea is received and how far the swaps could go.
*******CURRENT SWAP ITEM*******
Tritanium x 1

Thank you for the offer Holden Jaff, the contract prices seem a bit up and down with three under 2m (at time of posting). I will monitor the prices and decide whether to accept within the 3 days.
For now though, the swap item is still the Caracal, and the swapshop is still open to alternative offers.

Thank you Tartaros Gaia, I will update the thread. Whats next?
Also on the swap shop in general, am thinking that a lottery for the item might be a better idea, with each swap acting as 1 ticket in the lottery.
Maybe not implemented in this run, but a future one, any thoughts? Might give people a little more impetus if they can win the final item outright, along with keeping their swap item.

Ya, more thank likely. Which is why I was thinking a lottery might be better.
Anyway... see how this one runs for now :)
Edit: Oh and I know about the whole 'swap' is a bit daft... still couldn't get Edmunds into the thread if I called it Trade Shop. (Brit TV Reference)

Yes but its still odds based, so the choice would be theirs to take, whereas with the split the money is fixed and the higher value swaps logially must compensate for the lower. Plus they might have taken part in earlier swaps (more tickets) which make it a viable option for the gambler.
You could remove the ISK cap, and either have it as time limit or swap limit.
In any case you are right in what you say, you would be getting a ticket to win an item you already own (plus the item you swapped for) so in essence you would be winning the item you swapped for which I would assume you wanted.

I will check the price of the probes, and let ya know :)
I like your idea, I take it by sponsor you mean you will provide those particular prizes?
If so, and seeing that this is only adding to the original proposal I don't see how anyone can loose out or object to extra prizes, and would be happy to implement the idea.

1) Since I stated 1bn, I couldn't really stray from that on this first swap shop.
2) In regard to the Corpus A-type armor EM Hardener, I shall confirm the contract prices and get back to you.
Edit, you are spot on with your 100 - 150 estimate, please set up the trade contract :).

Thank you for your offer, the rigs are 2x core defence capacitor safeguards, worth 3m each so, the total value of your offer is 133m approx.
Cynabal is valued at between 120 - 145m (buy sell contracts).
So no swap for no, and I am open to other offers. I will leave the contract up tho, as it has 13 days to run.

Haha, comedy.
Anyway agree with the previous 2 posts. Yes thats right i would have to trade the last item, you can contract it for fool proof security, as has been the trend.
And yeah I hoped it would have taken off quicker, but ah well I shall persevere :)
Still have the Mael + in ma hanger.

You could sell the parts individually for more than the item you swap with.
Or something... put smartbombs on it and efficiently lower your sec status.

Two more bumps, and if nobody is interested I'll sell and split. Unless anyone has objections to that...
(split being between swappers, not me legging it )
