¿Question #5007?
TaliaIsabelle: What the heck is this "Ultimate Trade" thing and where can I find out more about it?

DHEK: I don't know either. Never even heard of it.
Kyleroconnor: forums
keldrak: ?\
puffinge: you don't wanna know
mgringo: Oh no, there goes Tokyo.
scriptorum: Someone's lost.
Lord_Prussian: Just check out the geeklists. Basically, it is a chain trade where the trader of the item traded first gets the item traded last.
jttm: Just ask the seller.
skelebone: Ultimate Trades are the work of Kane Klenko, and are designed as a tradechain, i.e. the first person offers up a game, then the second person offers up a game in exchange for getting the game from #1, then #3 offers a game up to get the game from #2, and so on until the list creator finds a "stopper" or a game that they will take. Then everyone sends their game to the next person on the list, and presumably everyone gets a game they want, and trades away a game someone else wants.
chaddyboy_2000: Ultimate Trades are where a long chain of games is made, with each person sending his game to the person directly behind him in the chain. The last person on the list sends his game to the list originator, completing the loop. The first list can be found here (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist.php3?action=view&listid=6182), although many people have modified the rules since then, most notably allowing multiple forks.
CDRodeffer: It's a chain-trade scheme where one person offers a game for trade, someone else says what they'd trade for it, others say what they'd trade for any of the above and so on. That keeps going until the original trader sees something he wants, and he stops the trade with the line of offered stuff that then rotates among the traders so everyone gets what they want by giving something they don't to someone else.
CortexBomb: Just do a query of past Geeklists, they've been running for a while now
