Feelings...

A. I have a headache,
2. Feeling kind of tired
iii. Most of all I am just feeling lazy.
I have been working on this blog for somewhere between 2 weeks and a month, but to tell you the truth I am not sure, but really it is not that important.

The fact of the matter is that I have not yet been able to trade for my napoleon dynamite doll. I assumed there was still a following, but no luck as of yet. I have gotten more offers for my own things, but no "real" I was planning on working night and day to get my house, but have gotten busy with other things. It is sad really, and I need to start finding time to make these trades happen.

This week I have set a goal to make at least 1 trade this week to get something bigger or better than my doll, wish me luck and keep checking back to see the most recently acquired.

Da Rules

I have had some serious issues with people wanting to do that which is against the rules. So I want to set "Da Rules" so that there will be no more confusion, they are as follows.

1. You may not trade me for anything that is already mine
2. You may not trade me for other people, slavery is illegal
3. You may not trade me for something of less value than the item i currently have, the idea is bigger or better, not smaller or worse

More rules will be posted as needed.

Trade #3 sweet chocolate tin for SWEEEEET!


I am happy to announce that we have our 3rd trade, just as a recap, lets see how things have gone so far. back about a week and a half ago we started the blog so that we could get a house. Imagine having your own home, owning it free and clear, not owing a single red cent to the bank, imagine how good that would feel! This of course this is my goal, but I want to accomplish it before I am 50.

I am getting so close I can taste it. here is how things have progressed over the couple of weeks

1. I got the paper clip (1 cent) from Sarah for free.
2. I traded the paper clip to Marcus for a 1 oz. bag of Doritos (Cool Ranch)(65 cents)
3. I traded the Doritos for a Hersheys tin with 2 pennies in it ($6.02)
4. I traded the tin for a Napoleon Dynamite action figure

That is right, a Napoleon Dynamite action figure, according to ebay, these action figures are selling for between $30 and $40, the one I got was slightly used, so I figure the value is around $10 used, plus he doesn't have his glasses or his jacket like the new ones have, or even a box for that matter.

If you are interested in getting a genuine Napoleon Dynamite action figure, you might want to send me an email to thebiggerbetterblog@gmail.com and make me an offer for something bigger or better.

My wife and I are going to start picking out carpet tomorrow, that is how close I know we are.

Trade #2 We Are Well on our Way There!

Imagine the amount of deliciousness of a personal sized bag of Doritos.. That is what happened to a co-worker of mine named Trent Bowen, Trent is one of those guys who is always hungry, but he forgot a lunch. as such, the bag of cool ranch Doritos called to him. He could not resist that 1 oz. bag of goodness.

Trent scavenged around in his desk until he found something bigger and better than my bag of Doritos so that he could obtain them for his own desires. He finally produced a small circular tin that back in 1995 held Hershey Kisses.

To sweeten the deal he printed an auction on Ebay for that same tin selling for 6 dollars with shipping included. That was enough for me and we made the trade.

About 5 seconds later to sweeten the deal even more, he put 2 shiny pennies in the tin. Now that man knows how to make a deal!

We are already up to a value of $6 (according to Ebay)
