The last two years I've run no-risk math trades for the con. Is there
any interest this year? I'd be happy to run it this year, but if
anyone else is dying to give it a go that would be fine with me.
Either way I should have a bunch of games to post.

Any thoughts on when to start the list? With the new math trade
software, finding results seems to be extremely fast, so it's just a
matter of how long to post items, make want lists, etc. JeffyJeff
allowed me to use his want list generator last year. It definitely
made it easier on me as the moderator, but you don't have to use it if
you want to participate.

Any feedback is much appreciated.

I'd like to see a no ship math trade for sure and you've done a great
job the last couple years running it so stick with it!

I think about a 7ish day posting period with 2-3 days for want list
submission and a day or 2 for trader communication prior to the con's
opening is good. The want list generator should be mandatory in my
view as it takes away the possibility for cut and paste errors on the
moderator's part. But the OLWLG can be tough to figure out, too so I
could understand not requiring it's use to try to increase
participation.

Anyway you go I'm in!!!

I think it's awesome that you would like to do the math trade again
this year.

There are some general questions about the Math Trade going on
concurrently at the Board Game Geek site:

If you are the person for the math trade, please let me know so we can
get it to the BGG site.

Cheers,
Steve

Okay, we will definitely have a math trade. More details (including a
preliminary schedule) are posted here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3581607#3581607

I'll post here and on BGG when the trade list is up and running.

Remember that the deadline for adding games to the math trade list is
today (Monday) at 4pm. We have a HUGE list this year with some
awesome games on it. If you don't have games to trade, feel free to
offer a gift certificate or some other cool stuff.
