Trade #12. Troy Built Tiller

My little go cart found a good home, & in its place, there is now an almost new Troy Built tiller. It's a 4 HP & it starts on the 1st or 2nd pull.
This is going to be in HIGH demand before Spring!

What will you offer me in trade for this great garden tiller?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Happy Halloween to all, and to all a gloriously dark night!!!!

Trade #11 "Rebel" Go Cart

WOW! In just one month, the snapper has been traded to a man named Velton Hix for a "Rebel" Go Cart.

WOW, this thing is fun!!!! In great condition, only 4 or 5 years old. My fiance Terry has already been racing around the yard, driveway, road.....LOL. I even took it for a spin myself!

This one's gonna be hard to let go of, so gage trade offers accordingly! ROFL!

This has got to be the most fun trade so far!!!!

Long way from a little black phone no-one wanted, ehh?

(pictured above are me with the man who traded me the Snapper mower on September 16th, 2007, and now today, the Go Cart, on October 17th, 2007)

One Black Phone for a Yellow House

I was inspired last year by the story of the guy in Canada who traded a paperclip on Craigslist and in 14 trades had a house. Several people I knew said I should try it, but I kept saying "What would be the odds of that happening again?" "Lightening doesn't strike twice" and all that.

But, I did have this little urge just to try trading something for the fun of it. One trade. Just for the hell of it, right? Well, I still had my crappy old telephone from my old home before I moved in with my fiance. I thought, "Just for the fun of it, let's see what interesting bit of junk I can get for this." So, I posed a Barter ad on Craigslist. Within a few hours, it was "Flagged" down. I didn't understand why, so I posted again. After a few more tries, I realized that there was a group of people out there who find their only joy in life by holding others back. I got accused of being a "Red Paperclip copycat" and all that. Well, they created their own worst nightmare. Before, I was just going to do ONE trade....for fun, and that was going to be it. But, now? Now it was personal. I started to take poems and old songs and change some of the words to have it be about my little black phone. I did Poes "The Raven", and "The Bells". I also did a rousing rendition of "Banana Phone"! After several weeks of this, a guy in Hawaii who's been doing a trading project as well (here's a link to his site http://terrorsuspect.com/ ) felt sorry for me, and offered me a trade for $20 worth of books from his online bookstore for the phone. So.... I shipped my phone to him for the certificate. YES. I actually MAILED my phone to Hawaii!!!!

In the year since then, I've traded for a CD of an Aleister Crowley recording (& subsequently made a VERY good friend in Canada), a rice cooker, a painting on rice paper, services of a Medical Intuitive, a Dynamic Facilitator, and a Psychic, and then did another trade with the guy from Hawaii for 2 little rubies!

Now....I have a Snapper riding lawnmower and a pair of Kenwood speakers. The mower is in good working condition, and comes with a spare transmission in case you ever need it. I'll accept a trade offer for either the lawnmower, or the lawnmower and the speakers. (if you are just interested in the speakers, we can work something out there, too)

I never ever thought I'd be doing this. It was just a game, but, as they say.... Life Is a Game.

Wanna play??
