gollark: I should probably just put up more eggs or something. Hopefully that will get me trades I actually want.

gollark: It's not as if two mimic pygmy eggs even look like a silver.

gollark: I assume they think "well, they don't *ask* for this, and it's not *worth* what they have, but maybe they don't know that despite clearly being trade-savvy or good at hunting enough to get slightly rare things".

gollark: But ask for anything remotely rare - or *have* something rareish - and boom, unrelated offers.
