Ok, here it goes:
as the title says im running a small experiment with a piece of tritanium. the experiment involves me trading the tritanium for something else, like a piece of mexallon or some ammo. i then trade the mex or ammo for something else, of greater isk value. and so on.
Im running this purely to see how far it will go and the biggest item i can get.
If your interested in making a trade and are based in or around jita i dont mind making a few jumps to make things happen. Either contact me ingame or drop me an EVEmail.

surely its not a valid experiment if your asking people to trade up your item, and would make alot more sence if you simply said the plan then went and done it, without asking the people within your thread? kinda like setting up an experiment to ensure you get the results your looking for

im not looking for anything, trading up the item is only a bonus. its an experiment as i have no idea how it will go.
EDIT: no idea why i posted on this character, deleted him a while ago.

I actually saw a thread like this about a year back. The guy traded himself up from something useless to quite a stash of fun stuff. Good luck in your endeavour

Use the item exchange in the contracts section and set it up there.

This was in the news when it happened. If you would actually look, you'd notice it's not "obscure"
There's nothing original about this venture.

Not everyone reads the news either. I usualy don't as its mostly filled with rp and pr stuff for CCP. So let the poor guy have his fun.

No! I'll be jealous when he ends up with a carrier for one piece of tritanium so I'm protesting this now!

About a year ago the red paper clip guy was all over the news and different shows. He got himself a house in the end.

Did the book have a big red paperclip as the cover picture? If so I might have noticed the cover on my numerous trips to the library for study and research material. But tbqh I don't read or care much about popular culture as it doesn't really do anything for you but waste your time. Though each to his own of course.

information highway is an overrated highway.

It does, yeah. I bought it at a station when I had a particularly lengthy train ride ahead of me, so to be honest, it wasting my time was its exact intended purpose. It's a good read for a throwaway travel book.

Thats cool. I always tend to have some technical manual handy for my travels though. Yeah I'm a big egghead.

I was teaching at a university in China and my students there knew about the paperclip guy. I believe one of them wrote a paper or gave a powerpoint about it.

And they say universitys nowadays will teach anything for a tuition buck. Hard to believe yes? Was it a 'liberal arts' course by chance?
