Gator Trader aka Help Out Yo-An alternative design to Ebay

Back in 1993-1996, we had Usenet before Ebay.

We'd trade magic the gathering cards. We'd put a value on one card:
Dual Land: 1
Mox: 50
Black Lotus: 300

And if someone wanted a Lotus, that's 6 moxes, or 300 dual lands.

The trading is done on a fictitious ratio currency.

We'll call em Gator Eggs. They can buy em from us, or generate them in the system at an even rate of active participation, not bottable.

Any goods or services are available locally. No cash changed hands. No taxes.
Stuff heavier than Ebay's shipping allows.

Easier than Facebook Marketplace.

Allow the person to even share dreams and ambitions if others want to help for free.

I had this idea in 1994. You shared this idea a few months ago. I had it coded from a few years ago, but need a big name to promote it lightly so people put in their business cards. You down Scott Adams? A multimillion dollar project and I'm not asking for investment, just you interested in promoting it casually.

If it takes off, you can use your art in it.

50/50 rev share-Money got before taxes etc.

You down?
