Dealing with him is like eating a potato chip, you can't just have one. At least we still didn't know what we were sending. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 @CBOB I received you parcel in the week, what a stunning pecopteris! I’ve been snowed under with work and when I get a few minutes I’ll photograph it and watch the drools from other members. Cheers Chris! 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Well unfortunately, the USPS decided to take the box Ralph was sending to me on a tour of California. It has been delayed and sent to lands unknown. I fully expect it to show up one day with tourist stickers from Yosemite, the Golden Gate Bridge, Sea World, Disneyland and numerous other destinations plastered all over the box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These threads were meant as a kick off for others to conduct trades. I for one started a thread on "Blind Trades" for multiple items and has successfully carried on for several years now. Would you like to do multi item or single item? I can be your Guinea Pig either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi Doren @caldigger I single trade this month and one more next month if that is ok. Thank you. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 In fact I got a little confused do you mean a trade of more than one item with you. If so I can do that too. @caldigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Rob, I can go either way. It's up to you which one you want to do. Are you brave enough to play my world famous Blind Trades (r) game for multiple items or are you wanting to skip around the subject with Dave's spin-off 1-4-1 trade (I should probably get royalties for that!)? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks for steppinp up Doren. And you are right the trade can go on as long as there are willing participants. I myself have two trades I am trying to finalize before I get involved in any more. Also I need to obtain more trade material. And I will work on getting you some Royalties. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ok @caldigger sounds like you have called me out for a challenge. I feel confident I can play you at your own game .

Nimravis Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @caldigger - I really don’t think my package is going to arrive, you probably would not have liked it anyway- at least I tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 On 2/25/2018 at 12:28 AM, Nimravis said: Well I entered into a 1-4-1 fossil trade with @caldigger , Doren, and he accepted. I mailed my package out a day earlier that he did, and his package to me arrived earlier today and the one I sent him is somewhere in the "Postal Zone". I never understand how they guarantee a 2 day delivery with Priority and his package might not arrive until Monday- 6 days later- the tracking message states that it got "Diverted", likely story. But I digressed, now onto what I received from Doren; he sent a very large Crassotrea Titan Oyster from Upper Miocene- Santa Margarita Formation of Coalinga, California. But Doren, being Doren, he must have run out of bubble wrap to fill the Medium size Priority box, so he filled it with fossils, a geode half and a couple other goodies. Next time, you should try newspaper and then you can hang onto your other fossils. A Devonian Crotaiacephalus sp. Trilobite from Hamarlaghad, Morocco. A lower Triassic- Olenekian Stage "Australosomus" fish nodule from the Karoo Formation of Anaborana, Madagascar. A great Hydrophilus sp. beetle from the Pleistocene McKittrick (CA.) tar seeps. This area is near Sharktooth Hill and contains the same type of Fauna found at the famous LaBrea Tar Pits of Los Angeles, California. And lastly, a nice geode and a DVD on sharks, including Megalodon. Doren, thanks again, and I know that my package will pale in comparison to what you sent me, but it does contain something that you can work on while watching TV - hope it arrives in tact and soon. Extraordinary generosity! What a splendid gift. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Well since my 1-4-1 trading partner posted his end of the trade on here and got me on an early naughty list with darktooth for sending multiple items, I must now do the honors and show what was sent my way. If you didn't know by my posts of misery, my package got to spend time traveling to the deepest darkest depths of the California postal system. It was literally in limbo somewhere between Bakersfield and Paso (2 hours away) for four grueling days with no new updated tracking. I have to say, what Ralph sent me was worth waiting years for. It's a little tid bit he has had for many years from Scenic, South Dakota. Take a gander... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
