Chit Chat

Hi
I'm hoping this can fall under "chit chat", I'm trying to get from 1p to £10,000. Its not a betting thing, no holy grail system unfortunately, it is a swap. I started last week with 1 shiny penny, a one pence piece, here is how it has gone so far . .
Start
1 shiny penny
I traded the shiny penny for a not so shiny 10p coin, progress i suppose!
I traded the 10p coin for a blue biro, not a standard bic biro, more a parker pen look about it.
I traded the pen for 24 cans of Fosters.
The beer was swapped for Fifa 10 for the PS3, a good one i thought!
I then swapped the Fifa 10 for a scalextric set, a new set called "Speed Stars" and that is where I am at.
The scalextric looks almost brand new, turn over the cars and its evident they have been played with as the little brushes are slightly discoloured but they havent been played with for long, perhaps a christmas gift. A quick google tells me this scalextric set will set you back £59.99 at Argos, £54.99 at Tesco or £56.99 at some other place. Not bad from 1 shiny penny.
My question is, do you have something you could swap me? Obviously I am looking for something slightly better or more appealing so I know offers may be few and far between but its worth a go, maybe someone really fancies a scalextric!
Cheers!

Why not sell it on ebay and use the money you get to reinvest?
|
|
By:
Ill swap it for a bmw compact no tax or test.
|
|
By:
what an original idea!
|
|
By:
I'll give you two shiny pennies for it.
|
|
By:
I did think of that but the charges put me off a bit, charge to list, final value fee, charged to receive the money into paypal, probably lose a decent chunk of its value there, prefer to swap plus its more fun.

didn't some bloke end up with a boat from a paperclip?
|
|
By:
Yes something like that Burt or was it even a house.
|
|
By:
Tell the guy who traded you 24 cans of Fosters for the biro that I've got a boxfull and I'd like to meet him.
|
|
By:
Surprisingly, i'm quite aware its been done before, does that mean im not allowed to do it ;)
A bit of fun for me to be honest and hoping to get to the £10k for a fresh start! The guy that had the paperclip, he ended up with a house, lucky guy! Any serious replies? |
|
By:
It was a nice biro, perhaps not that nice though, was a good swap! The Fifa one surprised me to be honest.
|
|
By:
think you'll struggle. First guy had novelty on his side, not sure what u bring to the party! Would you like to swap the scalextric for 1000 Korean won?
|
|
By:
I will keep the thread going anyway, I will be trawling through my mates trying to upgrade the scalextric, you never know, someone might have something they no longer use which is worth more than the scalextric to the next person and hopefully they may just fancy speeding around their living room!
The cars are a Lamborghini Gallardo Blue and a Porsche 997 GT3 RS Red, you KNOW that changes your opinion! haha. |

I've got a Noel Edmonds if anyone wants to swap him for a Keith Chegwin?
Failing that, I'll swap my stylophone for anything to do with Bay City Rollers. |
|
By:
I couldnt be entirely sure but i'd say your 1000 Korean Won would equate to maybe 50p at best, il politely decline, thanks anyway! :p
|

By:
i swapped a marble game for a backgammon game on Swapshop. wasnt on telly but Cheggers did the swapping.

i always thought people who done this payed in sex and the gifts were just a cover ??

By:
54p these days! Way its going though, could be a good long term investment!
|
|
By:
Funny how threads go, I wouldnt have thought trying to swap a scalextric would lead to sex but there you go haha.

By:
I once swapped a cow for five magic beans - best investment I ever made

By:
It was a joke mate, good luck with the scronging
|
|
By:
"scronging", interesting.
|
|
By:
just out of interest, if a real stunner wanted the scalextric and was prepared to swap herself for a night of forever remembered passion.... would you?
|
|
By:
Married i'm afraid but perhaps that would be the next swap "Stunning lady for 1 night" haha
|
|
By:
pity it was not the truck racing scalextric as i am sure we know someone who would service you
|
|
By:
Got some offers from elsewhere, a PS2, not the slim one with 3 games, I think thats probably had its day now, A lawnmower haha, could be interesting and will have to find out more and a Large glass topped garden table, be a bit of a pain to move that one I think! Any opinions on the offerings!

Alex, leave it out.
|
|
By:
You leave it out. At least I'm keeping your thread near the top. I take it you have none of the items I desire?
|
|
By:
I have the action man but im not really in the market for some pencil erasers :)

By:
Latest offer is a microwave! Any advances?!
