I'm playing around with Offer activities in Fedify. The AP Vocab provides this, easy peasy.

✅ Alice OFFERS Book to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Alice's OFFER

Or:

✅ Bob OFFERS Rotten Tomato to Alice
❌ Alice REJECTS Bob's OFFER

----------------

But I'm not clear if this is right:

❓Alice ANNOUNCES OFFER of Labubu to Followers?

❓Bob OFFERS $10 for Labubu to Alice?

❓ Alice ACCEPTS Bob's OFFER of $10 for Labubu?

✅ Alice OFFERS Labubu to Bob

✅ Bob ACCEPTS Labubu

@box464Jeff Sikes I think the Announce isn't really needed in the first place, the original Create should allow the object to reach its audience. Also, Offer is an activity, so the first one feels odd. I'd just Create a Note with the details, or some custom object if you want to have it used as a special logic for the frontend, or want to use custom fields for price for instance. Maybe using schema.org's Product (I just find the fact that they use their own Offer type for the price a bit confusing)

Product - Schema.org Type

Schema.org Type: Product - Any offered product or service. For example: a pair of shoes; a concert ticket; the rental of a car; a haircut; or an episode of a TV show streamed online.
