Darktooth Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Looking to try a new twist to the blind trade. I propose a blind trade for one item only. It can be a fossil or a mineral. Is anybody out there interested? I only ask no junk/ scraps. One decent item for another. 3 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darktooth Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 I wanted to elaborate more on this earlier, but I was being pressure d to get off my "precious"phone. I wanted to do a 1-4-1 trade in hopes to get more people involved in the fun. I recall seeing posts were some members stated they wanted to do the blind trade but they were afraid they didn't have enough worthy items. And I am sure some folks are afraid they would send too much and maybe not get anything good in return. I know there are a lot of generous members out there who don't worry about that but here is a way you can't go wrong. Also maybe we could interact with our international friends more because shipping one fossil overseas you can really keep the cost down. As an example, I shipped a couple sharksteeth to canada and the netherlands in nothing more than a padded envelope. It didn't cost that much. Nothing like when I sent medium flat rate boxes for $40+ . So what do you say? Anyone else want to play? @caldigger Pm sent. 5 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

caldigger Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Remind everybody that plays, we want to see PICTURES!!!! of what is traded. For some of us that hunt vicariously through members' trades. We see different members agree to trading and then never hear about it again. Let us know how it went. Just look how many of us are still hanging on to the edge of our seats waiting to see what David in Japan is going to get in the mail.

Ludwigia Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just to clear up a question in my head: We don't all trade with you @Darktooth ,right? Rather, when enough members have agreed to do this, then someone draws lots for us, sorta like in Secret Santa? Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Darktooth Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ok folks, back to business! As asked earlier I indeed pull names from a hat. I initially left mine and Doren out because we already agreed to a trade and drew the other five participants. This left one lonely soul without a trading partner. So I then drew a name from those who agreed to do more than one trade, which there are three of us. This is how I will try to work this trade throughout its duration. But unlike Secret Santa I want trading partners to know who they are trading with. The only secret here is what will be sent. I would like to ask one thing. Please folks, please only send one item and nothing more. I know that this forum has generous individuals who may be tempted to throw in another something to help fill up a box. Please don't. If you feel the urge to be generous make your ONE item a real nice one. I really want to keep this a true 1-4-1. Thanks. Also please remember this trade is for a fossil or mineral. So here are the results: 1- @VTinNorthAB & @Tidgy's Dad 2- @PFOOLEY& @minnbuckeye 3- @Ludwigia& @caldigger Ok folks make sure to pm your address info to your partner and lets have some fun. 3 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
