100 sweat into a hangar

I have just finished reading the book "one red paperclip" the story of a guy who played the game bigger and better and traded a single red paperclip for something bigger and better until his final trade resulted in a house. Now for a bit of fun I thought i'd try something similar here. So i'm going to start out with 100 sweat and see where it can take me. The destination I have in mind is a hangar.

If you're in need of 100 sweat and have something to trade that's bigger and better let me know here and let's see if we can do a trade.

nothing's impossible. improbably yes but not impossible. Anyway anything that livens things up a little and brings a smile to a few people is worth a try...

I have seen at least two other people do this exact same thing, and I think it was also for hangars. If you can pull it off, then good job, but EU doesn't work like real life and there is almost no concept of philanthropy here. My guess is that you will probably get to the point where you are trading small armor sets, then hit a wall.

Either way, good luck to you. Go prove me wrong.

Most hangars are around 100,000 peds, your sweat is worth maybe 0.7 peds. If you play your card right your great gand children might get a hangar. lol GL

hmm... with a lot of time and luck it's quite possible

100 sweat... well u could receive anything that has a value over 0.6-0.7 ped EX: pair of colonist shoes etc.... after that u can trade them for a 0.8 ped value MPH pistol and so on.....

GL !

Doesn' surprise me. Very few ideas are truly original. I refuse to believe though there aren't people out there willing to get involved in something like this. Yes there's a lot of sceptics in this game but also some fun people out there that could make something like this work.

Anyone willing to make the first trade offer?

yep, unless you sell for high, then buy more low and sell high again, over and over and over again i dont think you will get too far. you could probably buy small sweat amounts for about .6 and try and sell large amounts of it for .7. but at this stage people will just recognise you as a reseller and probably wont trade with you.

what about if people give you free stuff. ive been given armour, peds, ammo, opallo and so on, does this count into the task or do you just put it into storage or what?

Way to go mate. Good luck getting your hangar. Be prepared to spend some good years of your In-game and real life achieving this

Only catch is that probably by the time you will be able to buy your hangar, hangars will probably not be needed in the game as we know them today
