I've been listening to "Antiques Roadshow" on the television, tonight, while reading threads. It is always so fun to see what people bring in. One lady brought in an old English clock which was valued at about $10,000. Seems it was one of a line made specifically for export to China in the very early days of long ago.

That got me to wondering what specific item I would want to "export" if I were an owner of a company, like back then, only exporting to another planet. Not knowing much about them, except that they were the same species as me, even if odd-looking...with similar landscapes, family structures, etc. No government involvement, except the usual tariffs or whatever; just as in the early days of some explorations across the seas of our planet.

I think I would want to fashion some kind of illustrative book which would show something of our diverse cultures and things about our planet. I would hope this would be a popular item so that I could trade for many of their cultural products.

This sounds a little simplistic because I am deliberately ignoring what could be made with today's technology. I guess I am thinking handcrafted more than anything.

Anyway, what would you make for sales/trade items?
