Not really, at least it's not very manic at the moment. Quite a few people have theirs on display in Caledon.

To be honest I don't know. There's nothing 'centralised' really - if people are trading I won't be informed.
I re-acquired one to give to a friend, but few are willing to trade any at all, as far as I know. _____________________

I had fun w/ the 'tulip mania'
 bought, sold and traded some. Now have 2 left, displayed on my land  Desmond didn't you suggest during the 'tulip find' that there were some special properties not immediately apparent about the tulips? Or am I mistaken? Do tell! _____________________

Yeah. There is something special about them that they do, if you know how to activate it. It's not earth-shatteringly special or pretty though, and it's a secret. Just one more thing to make it harder to copy a tulip, though really, if someone wanted to they could probably make one that fooled almost everbody. It can be done. _____________________

Tulips have held their value well.

Shaun Altman: Why haven't you negotiate to have Cyberland become the trading floor for the Tulips? You mean MSE? Because we're not really looking to be in the tulip trading business. We perfer virtual equities. I will sell my tulip though. Make me an offer! _____________________
