You see what everyone else wants to do.

It would kinda be hard for you to get in the chain if you don't know what type of banana you have, even it Bob would be willing to pay bananabucks for one. You would have to be able to provide someone that is posting a wanted banana before you could even get into the mix. Think we need to ponder this idea some more...

# 2 wants Lady Finger, has Dwarf Red, Orinoco, Dwarf Cavendish
#3 wants RP, has Saba, Misi Luki, Lady Finger
#4 wants DC, has DN and manzano
Then #4 could send to #1, #1 to #3, #3 to #2, # 2 to #4.

I like the idea, but wouldn't a closed loop limit what is available? Also, I would think someone would be stuck without real quick. Something to think about, though. This may be something folks on here that are close can do themselves if they haven't already... Neat concept though...
