Trade Goes On

Put one item in play and see how far it goes.

A real-world trading game where people list an item, pitch an exchange, and follow the chain of what it becomes next.

Trade Goes On's landing page, headed A toaster became a trailer. Nobody paid a cent, over a photograph of an object being handed across.

The question

What if a marketplace cared less about the cash value of an object than the story of what one real thing can become through a sequence of trades?

Where it is now

Live on the web as a working product with listings, accounts, and trade proposals.

A live working build where people can put an item in play, propose a trade, and watch the chain continue.
