Go Crash, Go! A Retro Gamer's Delight (was a treasure-guarding dragon)

Hi again everybody! Well, I am glad to report that I have taken another step towards my goal of a car, and the dragon has found a new happy home. He was last seen heading towards his new abode with wings unfurled in the brisk October breeze...

In his place I am now pleased to offer you a retro video gamer's delight! Up for trading is an original Sony Playstation, complete with all cables and a controller. The system is in excellent condition; very clean. In addition to the console, I will include a copy of the "Greatest Hits" edition of Crash Bandicoot (which I am told is semi-rare). See how Crash's story began! Defeat the evil Doctor Neo Cortex and his henchmen! Save your girlfriend Tawna from nearly-certain doom!

All this can be yours! Just contact me via email with your offers to trade. I look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,
Jon

A Fierce Treasure-Guarding Dragon

Hey again everybody. Well I am happy to report that I got an offer for my brand-new pack of gum and so I am one step closer to my goal of trading up to a car! I was offered a solid pewter dragon statue for the gum by a guy who had heard about both my project as well as one red paperclip and wanted to help out.

So, today I swapped the gum for the dragon, which is pretty sweet, I gotta say! It's a hand-carved and hand-cast figure of a dragon guarding his gold with a sword and a bad-ass sneer (see pics).

In other circumstances, I would keep him and feed him the charred remains of all who dared trespass our domain. But, I am a man on a mission and so the dragon's gotta find a new home with anyone who loves dragons and is willing to trade something bigger and/or better for him. Contact me thru the same means as before.

Thanks!

A Shiny Pack of Gum

I recently came across the website one red paperclip and was inspired by the story of a guy who started with the titular paperclip and traded his way up to a house.

My goals are more modest: Right now we are a one car family and another vehicle would be great to have right now. I have a brand-new, never opened pack of Orbit Spearmint Gum that I would like to trade for something bigger and/or better.

Ideally, I would like to trade my way into a Toyota Prius, but I am flexible about that.

So, I am willing to consider any serious offers to trade for the pack of gum pictured below for something bigger or better, as I mentioned above. Contact me thru the comments section here, or email to jon.stevenson AT gmail DOT com.



I am looking forward to trading with you!

Thanks and all the best,
Jon
