I'm seeking a MiniChamp XL and I believe I will have to eventually trade for one as they are rare and anyone who owns one "might" be open to a trade, but not a sale.  Sort of a rare for rare deal.
What do you think might be a fair trade for one?
I'm seeking ideas so that I can start to look for trade items, maybe I would get lucky and get something that is desired by someone.  Or possibly I already own it/them.

Hope this question isn't inappropriate.  :cheers:

As far as I can tell the Minichamp XL has just one tool more than the standard Minichamp. A sort of two prong thing which might come in handy when eating fish and chips. And a second file. Hm.
The Minichamp already has its share of useless tools and the XL just adds some more - before you swap away a real treasure I'd give this one some serious thought.
It really doesn't look like a "must have" to me - In fact it looks like a bit of a stinker!

It’s a nice idea. I have a lot of tools only for this reason - trade them for other rare stuff. Or I buy them because I know that another collector is looking for this tool.

I think you should looking for rare SAK stuff (unfortunately the prices rise) I don’t would buy LM, SOG (I have only with Al Mar good experience as universal tradematerial). Maybe one Tool is not enough- what about the Vic deluxe series (especially the gold scaled model and the black scaled model?) and the Vic Safari Series?

There are also rare Wenger models - the Alinghi or Mike Horn series...

I have a few items like mint in box, never used Scientist, MIB never used Old Cross Pioneer Sturdy Boy, etc.  :climber:

I was trying to complete a little sub collection of all the variations of the MiniChamp according to the SakWiki, and the XL is the only one I don't have.  :cheers:

Thank you for the ideas CeHo.  :tu:

If you thinking of long term trades - some current models could be very interesting...

I have quite a few near mint current models, I just figured the person would want something hard to find.

Good new is I did find one!  :tu:
It should be arriving today.  It's not mint-in-box, but it's hard to be picky when they are hard to find.

Thank you.  It's hard to price these because I couldn't find any past auctions of them.
