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!

Change of Plans

I have received much criticism so there is going to be a change of plans...

Many have responded to my posts, saying that I should have started with a paper clip because that is the way that things traditionally start.... so I suppose it makes sense and I have decided to keep my beautiful black swing line stapler, and give up a paper clip instead

So in short make offers on my paper clip to biggerbetterblog.blogspot.com and make me an offer I can't refuse, also to let everyone know I am going to be contacting other people on craigslist, youtube etc. to find potential trades, so keep your eyes open for the start of our beautiful journey
