Auctions · Inside the Empty PC

Trade Meh.
An auction with a comfortably imaginary budget.

Trade Meh brings auction-style browsing into Empty. Open a listing, inspect the current state and follow its bidding or purchase choices rather than treating every item as a fixed-price retail card.

The listing has a closing story

Auction listings have their own timing and bid state. Read the page before placing a fictional bid, and return to see how that instance progresses. There is no need to keep bidding just to stay in the game.

Keep track of the listings you engaged with

My Trade Meh provides a route back to your activity. Bids, sellers, payments and outcomes are simulated; no real auction house or independent seller receives your actions.

Before you switch on

Trade Meh is an original parody, not affiliated with or endorsed by Trade Me. The game uses imaginary money and fictional checkout details. No real purchase is made.
