TOPIC: Thinking of buying a Pick-Your-Purp Pack? Look here first

<br />If you're going to buy a Pick-Your-Purp Pack, I ask that you consider this:  <br />I have a Horn of Plenty and Ring of Focus that are available for trade.<br />If you'd kindly order a purp I want, we can trade.  I'm trying not to buy another 25k myself.  Trading like this seems like a feasible way for two people to obtain wat they want - assuming someone else is going to buy another 25pk and ask for either a HoP or RoF.<br /><br /><br />Thank you for considering this.<br /><br />John

Man, all I have is the vol. plat RoR, a RoF, and a savior stone, so I am no help.  Trying to come up with a way to justify a pick-your-purp pack.<br />

I've been considering a list of Purps I might want.  <br /><br />Here's what I came up with:  (in order of want from highest to lowest)<br />

<br />Top Two on my list:  <br />

---

<br /> - Mithral Chain  (just seems cool and not many people think it's "hot")<br /> - (5x wanted) Girdle of Hill Giant Strength  (who can resist the extra + to hit and damage?)<br /><br />(2x) Nightshade's Sword +2 (I almost like this better than a LS+2 for a ranger))<br />+2 Flaming Shortbow (give the 2nd one to the Bard)<br />(2x) Gloves of Dex (gives the Wiz an extra point of AC)<br /><br />(3x) Possibly Plate +1, simply because I don't own one<br />Possibly Longsword +2, simply because I don't own one.<br />Possibly +2 Keen Scimitar<br /><br /><br />The HoP seems so hot right now.  I was originally hoping to get two items, such as the Mithral Chain and Gloves of Dexterity, in return for the HoP.  Then the pick-your-purp went into affect.  I'm trying to avoid spending more money on more 25-packs.  As such, I'm wondering if I should simply trade 1-for-1.<br /><br />JKW<br />

I think your best bet is to wait a while.    <br /><br />In the spring when it is not possible to get a horn, the trade value of horns will rise and you should be able to get at least a purple and some reds if not two purples for your horn.<br /><br />(Kind of like what I do for a living, in the wooden train business, when a train is about to go out of print, I try to buy a two year supply.  That way when people come to my website they find items other websites dont have.)  <br /><br /><br /><br />

I saw the business label.  I meant to hang on to it.  I like trains.  Mind sending me the web site address again?<br /><br />I know.  I had meant to hang on to the Horn until next year to see what comes out in the 2008 trading.<br />I've had a few offers for the items I'd like.  I don't want to be rude now that I've put out the feeler.<br />I do wonder, however, if I should hold on to it for a year.<br /><br /><br />Thank you for the good advice,<br /><br />John<br />

It makes great trade fodder for 1 to 1 with newbies. The only problem is newbies can't make up the difference in value so pretty much has to be 1 for 1.
