Ill give you a rubik's 4x4 and eastsheen 4x4 for 3 rubik's center pieces and 4x4 stickers and some specific colors for 3x3 stickers
 
only for trade?
can you sell?

if so I'll take all the magic strings some 3x3 stickers.

Yes I can sell them. Price will probably be a bit less than cubesmith pricing

When you say 3 rubik's center pieces, you mean 4x4 right. Sounds good

*To anyone I am trading or selling with, I will be wearing a Susquehanna sweatshirt or a "Eat,Sleep, Drink, ...Cube" t-shirt at the comp.*

Is anyone else going to MIT able to play guitar?
If so, I was thinking about doing a team solve, which would work out like this:

One person strums guitar and is right hand for teamsolve.
One person forms chords, and is left hand for teamsolve.

Anyone up for this?

Pwnage. I'm in :D

Also, anyone want a China PVC Sticker Megaminx? It might be a QJ, I'm not sure. Solved less than ten times, turns and cuts corners pretty well, but pops pretty well too :o
