U.B.E.R. trading deals in the Stack Exchange.
The idea behind U.B.E.R. was to get folks exchanging items at TT value to one another. I still see this as a grand idea as long as people are trading stuff to one another at roughly equal Markup values, are doing consignment deals, or are doing some sort of service exchange.

These ideas are what got me to start the Stack Exchange once I got my two shopkeepers and the apartment.

The Stack Exchange itself is what I think of as an U.B.E.R. trading scheme because things of equal TT value are traded. The original idea with the Exchange was to trade items I got at TT value for stackables that others have at TT value. I still want to keep that idea going, but have started to expand it a little.... I opened the doorway for "Needed Stackables" to be replaced by items STTS agents rejected as a favor to both STTS and those that had items rejected by STTS. Now, I'm opening that doorway just a little bit further...

If you folks in U.B.E.R. see something in the Stack Exchange that you want (basicically anything on the floor in my apartment that's on the opposite side of the room from the "Needed Stackables" sign and that is not sitting near the front door where the shopkeepers are), it's your's at TT value as long as you are trading me some other item or stackable (not necessarily a Needed Stackable, just anything other than ped/pecs) that makes up at least 50% of the value of what I am trading to you. In other words, I don't want you paying mostly in peds... just mostly in items... and we'll match one another's TT values with ped/pecs to balance it all out to equal TT values at the end.

I simply like trading and playing around with items that I may not have used before in EU. This sort of trading enables me to get a hold of some oddball items that are fun to play around with on occassion.

It's also a really swell way to meet new people, and just have fun trading away. Hope to See you soon in my apartment!

One sort of hidden reason for me getting the apartment was so that I could lay all my items out on the floor that were up for U.B.E.R. exchanges because it gets really confusing having 5 or so people in a team each trying to trade stuff to one another at TT values in a public location near a tp since it gets easy to forget who is holding what. With all the stuff on the floor up there, you can come by and see what I have to offer at any time... while you are there, it'd be mighty nice if you check out the shopkeepers at the front door too!

Right now, I'm still trying to figure out what to do with those shop keepers. At the moment I have a bunch of stuff I bought at TT price off auction that's sitting in the male shopkeeper and some ghost armor that someone got me a good discount on last night in the female shopkeeper.

What I'd like to do is team up with some crafter that can get me discounts on some certain item on an ongoing basis... making breers, oreamps, or something similar... probably L weapon, attachment, or amp, maybe even armor?.. I want something that's pretty high demand that can be restocked regularly going in the shopkeepers if possible. The main thing I need is someone that can get me about 5% or more off market value on some item like that that has high demand. I need about 5% in order to make up for the maint. fee in the apartment + shopkeeper decay + taxes.
