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)

The First Trade, and I am a Happy Camper

It happened on a cold winters eve, I got my first trade, a co-worker named Marcus saw my blog and was impressed, so impressed in fact he traded me a 1oz bag of Doritos cool ranch chips for my paper clip!

By my calculations that paper clip is worth 1 cent and the bag of delicious Doritos cool ranch chips is worth 65 cents in a vending machine which means that if i continue at the pace I am currently at, multiplying the the value of the traded item by 65 times every 2 days, I will have a house 6 days from now!!!

Here is why, because .65 x 65 =42.24 that means 2 days from now I would have something worth $42.24 then i would trade it for something worth 65 times its value I would have something worth $2746.25 and then when I trade that for something 65 times its value I will have something worth $178506.25 which I could trade for a house!

Man this is going to be easier than I thought!
