If you have a card but you want to have 5 widgets instead, and I have 5 widgets but want to have a card, exchanging your card for my 5 widgets is a good deal for you and me.

- throwaway290 3y agoIt's only about how much you want the widgets and how much I want the card. If both answers are "hella lots" then the deal is not just good but great for both (but I see you use "good deal" in some narrow one-sided sense I never seen it used before so whatever)
