[12:15:59 am] Oronar: Pfft, you should just do a bunch of trades starting with a tooth pick.
[12:16:15 am] Armiris: Trade a toothpick for cheese
[12:16:20 am] Armiris: Trade cheese for a sandiwch
[12:16:24 am] Armiris: Trade a sandwich for cake
[12:16:35 am] Armiris: Trade cake for a McDonalds coupon
[12:16:50 am] Armiris: Trade a McDonalds coupon for a Wal-Mart coupon
[12:17:07 am] Armiris: Use the Wal-Mart coupon and buy a t-shirt for free
[12:17:17 am] Armiris: Trade the t-shirt for sneakers
[12:17:31 am] Armiris: Trade the sneakers for some cheap computer part
[12:17:35 am] Armiris: And sell the computer part
[12:17:59 am] Armiris: You earn money and never have to spend money
[12:18:58 am] Armiris: And then you spend the money for a whole box of toothpicks
[12:19:03 am] Armiris: Thats when the real trading starts
[12:19:23 am] Keeth: Only problem is.
[12:19:31 am] Keeth: You'd need to be buying something people actually want.
[12:19:34 am] Keeth: Not a toothpick.
[12:19:45 am] Armiris: You didn't see the entire trade
[12:19:56 am] Armiris: The toothpicks can get you a wheel of cheese
[12:20:07 am] Armiris: The wheel of cheese gets you a foot-long sub
[12:20:14 am] Armiris: The foot-long sub gets you a pie
[12:20:28 am] Armiris: The pie gets you a book of McDonalds coupons
[12:20:28 am] Keeth: Ok, I get this.
[12:20:30 am] Keeth: Ok.
[12:20:43 am] Armiris: The book of McDonalds coupons get you a book of WalMart coupons
[12:20:55 am] Armiris: Use the Wal-Mart coupons to get an entirte rack of free t-shirts
[12:21:03 am] Armiris: Then you get an entire rack of sneakers
[12:21:13 am] Armiris: Then you get an expensive computer part
[12:21:17 am] Armiris: And you sell it
[12:21:31 am] Armiris: And you gain even more money
[12:21:51 am] Keeth: The thing is, none of that happened because nobody is gonna trade a wheel of cheese for a bunch of toothpicks.
[12:22:01 am] Armiris: Not normally, no
[12:22:11 am] Armiris: But the person with the cheese needs the toothpicks
[12:22:18 am] Armiris: To make little squares of cheese on a platter
[12:22:32 am] Keeth: If they give away their cheese why would they need toothpicks?
[12:22:37 am] Armiris: They have more cheese
[12:22:43 am] Keeth: It makes no sense, see.
[12:22:46 am] Armiris: No
[12:22:52 am] Armiris: The person sells wheels of cheese
[12:22:56 am] Armiris: So he has more cheese on hand
[12:23:04 am] Armiris: He just gave him free cheese for the toothpicks
[12:23:05 am] Keeth: Then he'd just take a dollar and go buy 9000 toothpicks.
[12:23:14 am] Keeth: From all the cheese he sells.
[12:23:15 am] Armiris: He lost his money in the casino
[12:23:23 am] Keeth: No he didn't.
[12:23:43 am] Armiris: Yes he did
[12:23:46 am] Keeth: And if he did, he wouldn't be selling cheese anymore.
[12:23:50 am] Keeth: Cause he wouldn't have a job.
[12:23:53 am] Armiris: He wanted to try and get rich and sell gourmet cheese
It's brilliant. The sole, gaping flaw in the idea is that all sandwiches worth trade already contain cheese. You should trade the toothpick directly for the sandwich.
You forgot about hamburgers without cheese. Those sandwiches do not need cheese.
