Ive got a plastic paper clip......

[1gear]

Anyone want to swap me something for it? Its one of those ones you get from a cracker.
If it makes the deal anymore tempting, ill also throw in some staples
Xx

[1gear]

I forgot to add, unused stapes
Unless u want me to use them then send them to you. If that will add value on.

[pcolbeck]

How many swaps do you think it will take you to get to a house ?

[1gear]

Well, not many if i include the staples i think.
My aim is not a house anyway. My aim is either a new phone(a blackberry would be jolly nice), car or a job.
That would be brilliant.
A decent job though, in something i want to do.
I could now include a Snickers bar.
The Snickers bar wont be available long though, it may be eaten.

I'll swap you for a pack of four very small colouring pencils (Red, Yellow, Blue & Green) which were also from a cracker.

[Mr Larrington]

I haz a plastic cup.  One careful owner, never raced or rallied.  Will exchange for paper clips, staples, Snickers Marathon bar or clean 911 Turbo.

[1gear]

Snickers now out of the picture, unless i get another one.
Any sensible offers for this paper clip?
Ive also got some brake outer i could swap. Some in bright orange, some in black.
A roll of black charge bar tape.
Rubber
Saftey razor blades
Palmolive shave stick

Infact, lots of things to trade
The pencil crayons sound abit naff.

Not as naff as a plastic paper clip.  I rescind my offer.

However, will now consider the plastic cup Mr Larrington has to offer depending on colour.  I'm in the market for a red plastic cup.

[Legs]

I'll trade your paper clip for this beautiful vase.

Seeing as we appear to be starting the YACF multicoloured swapshop here, I’d like to open negotiations on a small lump of unidentified goop that I’ve just found in the space inside the rear of my office pedestal.  I think it fell out of the back of one of the drawers at some point last year.

It’s about the size of a substantial marble and could be made of one or more of the following substances; blue-tack, chewing gum, pritt-stick or possibly even Power Bar.  Whatever original colour it once was has now amalgamated with the residue, dust and general detritus in which it was discovered.  It smells faintly of Vimto and embrocation, with top notes of Earl Grey.

I’d like to exchange for an HPV, rickshaw or quadricycle.  Cash either way, WHY?

Collection only please – my office’s preferred courier company has strict biohazard policies in place.

Sorry, it's white   Though I may have a red one at home.

[Regulator]

I have one used psychiatrist, slightly soiled but otherwise in good working order.

Will swap for upright trike.

I don't know what you have planned for tonight, 1gear, but include me out.

[1gear]

Ive also got some Crabtree's Cycling Mints. Mints only. Out of date. The tin is mine, its got a nice picture of a bike on.
Also have a Nokia Charger(2 actually) and headphone for Nokia 6300.
Any worth while swaps yet for any of these items, or all of them?

[clarion]

OK.  All that lot you've listed, I'll swap for a plastic paper clip.

[1gear]

I dont think you are taking this serious enough.

[clarion]

Hey! I only offered.  Come on, surely you're wanting a plastic paper clip?

[Cudzoziemiec]

Okay, I also have a Nokia charger, to fit the older type of Nokia with the bigger pin. It has a 3-pin plug - round pins to fit Indian sockets. To go with it there is an phone with a smashed screen. The phone's an LG with a square charging socket, but at this price who can quibble about that? Winning bidder collects (from Bangalore - contact my ex-landlord). Will swap for a Van Nicholas.

You could offer to colour your white cup with the red crayon before posting back.

I shall even waive my usual consultation fee for that advice  

[1gear]

And i thought this would be serious enough of a place that i could work my way up from a paper clip to something i wanted

[Cudzoziemiec]

To quote a friend, "What's the point in life if you're not being silly?"

I think you need to take this advice to heart. Seriously.

Its ok, i wasnt being serious with my comment. Or my main post. Although i would like a Blackberry

Thing is, see, when it comes to holding things together, it's all about the bulldog clip these days. Or velcro. Superglue! Forgot that, that's useful, that is.

Crappy cracker clips just can't cut it.

Now have a lie down, think about where you went wrong, and try again later.

Damn it! I need to trade it for a metal one first!
Or, 'borrow' a metal one, or a bulldog clip

[Adrian]

Excellent, we have progress.
