While monopoly trading, can i get advice from fellow competitors?can i butt in with a deal when2others trade?

Question

assume that 2 ppl r trading, can i butt in with a trade for one of them just to prevent a deal tht would be bad for me? or ask one of my competitors for advice abt the prospects of a deal?

Answer 1

You should be able to butt into a trading of properties conversation. Say if one of your mates says to another mate 'I'll trade this yellow for to light blues' And then the mate responds 'Sure' Then you say ' How about a green? Instead of a yellow?' It is the best way to play.

Answer 2

There's nothing in the rules to prevent that.  

You could make a "house rule" to permit or forbid those practices.

Answer 3

If there are no house rules against it, then go ahead.  We do that all the time.

Answer 4

You can't do that because if nobody is selling anything to you than you don't get anything.
