Let's make a den... uh, trade.

Optimism's Flames began life as a very modest XTC trade list, still online: Ye Olde Trade Site and no longer modest. The list below pretty much duplicates the other and covers only items available for trade. Feel free to tempt me with a swap for anything on the list. I look forward to meeting you!
