Blind 1-4-1 fossil or mineral trade

I think the real problem is that you can't see under that "toupee" and hit the wrong button.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE GATE KIDS!!!

Wow, you can almost hear the crickets.

If you'll have me, I'll trade with ya.

We could do the one item ordeal or delve into my realm of multiples. Your choice.

Almost? There were days of crickets on that one, lol!

 

I don't know what I might have that would be of interest to you, but I guess the point of the blind trade is to be blind. I'm just guessing that you probably have a lot of the material I have, but I'm game if you are. I will try my best!

 

The one for one hardly seems worth the shipping, I'm ready to flat rate a box, lol! If it fits it ships! (Which is awesome for boxes of rocks!)

Ha, he took the bait!  Now I'll be kidnapping this trade and moving it over to my Blind Trades (c) multi item thread. :muahaha:

I see that this is your first and only post so I would like to take a moment and say "Welcome to the forum!" I would like to encourage you to make a new member introduction and tell us about yourself, as well as participate in discussions and share any knowlegde and experience you may have. Maybe after you have established yourself on the forum, I would feel comfortable doing a trade with you. This would be the same for any brand new member.

 

Sincerly Dave (Darktooth)

@DatFossilBoy I thought that it was time to give credit where it is due. Since you first joined you have participated in the forum in a very meaningful way. You have become a regular on the forum now. I just wanted to acknowledge this fact. Glad to have you aboard the Fossil Crazy Train!:)

Still no one ever heard from CBOB anymore?

 

Sent him my trade stuff ages ago but never heard from him since.

 

I am not too worried if my items never arrived due some postal error (can easily replace my shipment) but I am both worried about his well being, not having heard anything since or my reputation as a trade partner in case my shipment went AWOL....

The other day I recieved an unexpected notification that I was to get a surprise package in the post from Darktooth.

Yesterday, I found it in my mailbox. Apparently, Dave had felt a bit guilty for his end of the 1-4-1 trade and wanted to rectify.

I got a wonderful selection of Calvert Cliffs treasures. All in beautiful pristine condition. I had always wanted one of the center Cow Shark teeth and here he is giving me one. Score!  Thanks again Dave.
