If I had kids, I would definitely support their participation in something like this.

As someone who does not have kids, I would most likely volunteer my expertise to such an effort.

Thank you, Eric. As I wrote this, I was actually thinking of what it would be like to have several small professionalknights in shining armour raid the marketplace. :P

I was thinking more along the lines of assisting with entrepreneurism, but raiding the marketplace could work too :-)

We did something similar when I was in gradeschool. We had a week where our school was a "marketplace"... lots of kids went home and made or got things to sell at school. You baught it with pretend money that you were given (don't remember how much offhand) and it was supposed to teach you about money and stuff. Most of us just learned that a fool and his money are soon parted, and the glories of false advertising.

lol, forgot to post my opinion. I'm for it, as long as its regulated at different levels so the kids don't try to rip each other off incessantly, which is what kids tend to do when theres something to be gained. (anybody who ever played marbles or pogs in gradeschool knows this)

I like the idea. One of my classes had something simular to it. I think it would be a great alternitive to a system that, well dont really work. at lest this system preps them for life after school.
