Akira Kan wipes away the beads of sweat rapidly gathering on his forehead. The 15,000 yen that Pavel Matousek is asking for Juzam Djinn is beyond his budget. But the alternative -- trade in his Mox Pearl and Island of Wak-Wak -- seems like a bum deal.
Kan, a junior high school student from Tokyo, halfheartedly suggests a number of other exchange options -- four Cateran Overlords, for example, or maybe a couple of Chaos Orbs.
But 22-year-old Matousek, an economics and philosophy student from Prague, is not interested. His last offer: Juzam Djinn for a Gauntlet of Might and two Ifh-Biff Efreet.
