Sold the purse and sunglasses

I've gotten rid of the purse and sunglasses. I needed some money relatively quickly and have been having difficulties getting interest in the purse and glasses, so I sold them a few days ago. I'm not planning on doing that with anything else, it was just an emergency situation. Regardless, they're gone now and no longer available for trades.

Netgear Wireless MIMO Router


I have a Netgear MIMO Router, part number WPN824 available for trade. This is an extremely nice router, the MIMO technology allows it to have a great range, I've used it for a little while in my house and it covers the whole thing easily. It also works with other MIMO adapters to work at 108 Mbps, which is double the standard speed of a/b/g routers, which work at 54 Mbps.

Blade CX2 R/C Helicopter


I traded the Ibanez Gio guitar for a remote control helicopter late last week. It is a complete set with a 5 channel remote, training kit, extra blades and all the original packaging.

1960 Topps Baseball Cards


This is a set of my Dad's 1960 Topps baseball cards that he gave me recently to either sell or trade for this project and help me out with grad school. The collection is about 50-60% complete, but is in Mint to Near Mint condition. There are a very large number of cards in the set, so I can't list them all here, but if you are interested in a specific card let me know and I can check to see if it is included. The most significant card included is a Carl Yastrzemski rookie card (Becket value of 200-350 dollars). The most notable omission is Mickey Mantle, however many other famous players are included, let me know if you're curious about one and I'll check!

Burberry Sunglasses


These are authentic Burberry sunglasses that I also purchased as a Christmas gift for the same ex-girlfriend. Even though she never got them, I'll be putting them to good use as a nice trading item!

Orange Prada Purse


This is an unused orange Prada purse that I purchased as a Christmas gift for an ex-girlfriend but never ended up giving to her. I still have the authenticity card and the plastic bag the purse was shipped in as well.

Ibanez Gio Z99 Electric Guitar


This is an Ibanez Gio Z99 electric guitar with stand. I traded a Dell Latitude CPi laptop with several accessories for the guitar. Since receiving it I have cleaned it extensively and installed brand new strings. This is a very nice guitar, approximately 3 years old and is looking for a good home.

General trading guidelines

So I've had a fair amount of trading experience over the past few months and thought I'd review my general trading guidelines that I'll be following. First, and most importantly, I do not care what is offered, I am not "interested" in anything, except something that has bit more value than what I'm offering. There are really only two things I will not trade for: weapons of any type or cash. I'm not trying sell any of these items until I get close to when I'm leaving. Beyond that, I would prefer something that I can list on Craigslist, however I will certainly consider any offers.
These trades aren't necessarily on a first come, first serve basis, I'm willing to wait some time for a good offer, but I do have a general time limit so I'm looking to get rid of all my current items.

First post!

Hi everyone!
I'm working on a trading project similar to the One Red Paperclip project (you can read about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Red_Paperclip), but instead of trading up for a house I'm looking for something that I can use to pay off grad school bills. I'm heading off to Melbourne, Australia to study Cultural Materials Conservation in July, so I'll be having quite a few extra expenses by then that I'd like to help out with through trades.
I've been trading on Craigslist for about two months now, but I thought if I started a blog I could consolidate everything and talk about my progress. Check out all the items I have available up above if you're interested in any trading!
