That all depends on the supply chain. It would only take a few 4-card cashouts for there to be more Blot-B-Gone's then then we typically produce in a couple months of blotting. Proposals on the other hand will be in more constant demand, I could easily see a glut of blot-b-gones so that it's easier to get a handful of those than a pendant. > In particular, there's no "price fixed at" because both prices are measured > in terms of products.

The price of blots varies in > the same way. Sure, it's all relative exchange ranges, I agree. But there's a fixed point because they're both the cost of "pending 1 proposal". If that costs 1 Pendant or 4 Blot-B-Gones, that's a hard ceiling on an exchange rate between the two. -G.
