The Star Exchange is now OUT of "JPG OF NIETZSCHE (Location: Pool - Pose: Silly/Irreverent)."

However, we now have a new item of inventory:

JPG Map of Bulgaria with Bonus Flag Image /// Price: any 3 stars

Bought bulgaria with 3 drab stars + 2dimes for 1 drab star.

I sell bulgaria for 2 electric green + a silver, and 2 dimes for an auburn!

I'd gladly give you a star on Tuesday for a Hamburger today.

Is there a futures market on the star exchange? Is short-selling permitted?

Indeed, I am presently negotiating on a contract to short a bunch of drab stars.

Congrats to betiko on his new JPG OF BULGARIA WITH BONUS FLAG!

The B$20 note is only worth 2 electric green at best saxi. I think your market is overpriced. In fact 3 drab would be enough for that picture.

I believe for my work in organizing the exchange I am entitled to take a modest profit to tide me over.

This is what happens when we let the Communists win!

OMG thats a collectible!

How many of these are there? I'm sure john3blue is not reachable now.

If I get 10 more red stars, I can trade my whole set for all 7 dragon balls.

If someone gives me 10 red stars, I will give up my most prized possession:

Exactly! In the usual way of things, the market would normally be taking a small % from the trades. The problem is that until we get some inflation going, the cost of trading is prohibitively high, which of course is typically communist. I applaud saxi for being ahead of his time on this, and I think I have identified the one main support for this market which is lacking.

The problem we have is there is no valuation, even loose, to refer to.

I have thought about this and so offer the following as a market price index. I am sure that by starting with the following values the market will find the correct levels

All values to a single DRAB star. In other words, a red star is worth 15,000 DRABS (perhaps the unit of currency, I think the name DRAB would suit Saxi being that he is a communist).

Red = 15000
Green = 2000
Blue = 1250
Yellow = 500
Pink = 200
Cyan = 50
Orange = 20
Silver = 10
Violet = 5
Elec Green = 2.5
Auburn = 2
DRAB = 1

In short, here on CC one can be valued by not just one's points, and one's medals, but one can now go and view one's hoard of pure DRABS in private. I am sure this will bring about it's own set of problems such as one person coveting another's DRABS, but this is not my problem.

Is anyone else concerned, like I am, that the CC leadership will require us to report and/or pay tax on our stars? To that end, I propose a graduated tax on stars. Folks with at least one red star should be required to pay a much higher tax rate than folks with just a few drab stars.

Alternatively, we could do forced distribution, but then we'd just be accused of starting another BBS trap thread.

TGD, I'd like to have you do my star tax return.

As a service to any individuals suffering from colorblindness, I will gladly authenticate the colors of any stars against their labels for only the price of one post-appraisal drab star.

I propose we all form a Syndicate.

Well you would. You are, after all, a typical investor profile type.

I hacked into the mainframe and obtained 32 Red Stars.


We'll start the bidding at 1 million SaxBucks or 1 Sexual Favor.
