4. Ask questions. When inquiring about a swap item, ask about the condition. Remember, it is up to you to determine the quality of the swap item. Ask what the person would like to swap for it.

9. Award Tokens. After a swap is complete, issue a Positive, Neutral, or Negative Token to the other party.
