Swap Meet!

[trinityofone]

Okay, so I’m totally ripping off octopedingenue with this idea, but I hope she won’t mind. The idea is this: I have a lot of stuff I want to get rid of, and I’m sure you do, too. So let’s swap! Below is a list of items I’m willing to trade; if you see something you want, comment with that item or items and a list of things (books, DVDs, CDs, whatever) you’d be willing to trade for it. You can also trade with each other, offering new items for the stuff offered up in the comments. You don’t have to trade books for books or CDs for CDs, just as long as both parties are happy.

Make sense? Okay, let’s swap!

Comments

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

FUCK OFF OMG I WANT THE GATEKEEPER TRILOGY. Do you know how hard it is to find that fucking book?

Um, WHAT DO I HAVE TO TRADE.

Will come back later with goodies. ;)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I had no idea! But I'll consider that one temporarily on hold for you!

(If my little paperback turns out to have been worth a lot of money, I might cry, though. *g*)

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Well, the only stuff I have is worth a lot of money probably too, so I'll start with what I think is worth the most to the least, okay? Okay.

(all items softcover unless otherwise noted)

- X-Files computer game and guide book (which you will need if you have any hope of beating the game)

- X-Files desk diaries, years 1997 - 199, hardcover

- Bite Me! autographed by author

- X-Files postcard book 'The Conspiracies', some dents on the cover, but all postcards intact (I believe, I will double check though)

- The Making of The X-Files: Fight the Future

- HP unlined notebook, hardcover, green with Hedwig picture

- CD 'Harem' by Sarah Brightman

- X-Files 'Fight the Future' original VHS, kind of banged up, purchased previously viewed but as far as I know it works fine

And I have plenty of stuff I am willing to lend out, like nearly all (one is on back order) of the Buffy comic books. Um. I spend a lot of money on ridiculously useless things.

Also, I have skills! Like knitting! And and I sing! Um. That last one's not so helpful. I play saxophone? OH DEAR.

[maribouquet.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Great idea.

I would love to swap with you for your Dane Cook DVD.

Off the top of my head, I have the following DVDs I could trade:
Lilies of the Field; Get Over It; Supersize Me; Tom Jones

Loads of books and music, too. Hmm, I like this swap idea. I'll try making a giant list when I get home tonight.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Great idea.

All octopedingenue's!

I'll put Dane Cook on hold for you, but I'm gonna wait to see your full list before I commit to Tom Jones. He understands infidelity, I'm sure. *g*

[maribouquet.livejournal.com]

So, big list of doom did not happen last night, *but*, here are some more dvds to consider:

The Office (UK) complete 1st season
Monty Python & the Holy Grail (special edition)
Y Tu Mama Tambien
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Gladiator

[wychwood]

If I hadn't just recently cleared out my entire book collection to get rid of all the things I didn't want to keep, I'd totally be stealing a couple of your CDs *g*. But as it is, I don't think I have anything to trade.

(I can't believe you're getting rid of The Big Fear! That's a great album!)

(PS: Did you get my very random Saturday-morning email? Because I did have a reason for asking *g*)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Is there something you really want? We might be able to negotiate...something.

And I don't remember the e-mail, but I'll dig back through my inbox...

[wychwood]

I think it's ok - the interesting items weren't so rare that I wouldn't be able to find them in the shops. But I may have a comb through my DVD collection, which (it suddenly occurs to me) has a couple of things that I bought and then regretted.

I just checked - I definitely sent it *g*. Which I was quite capable of failing to do at 7am on four hours of sleep, but it's in my sent items, so.

[zeenell]

Oh my. Eagle-eye cherry -- my friend loves them and they are difficult to find (to dl anyway *coughs*) and she got me an awesome birthday present... *tries to remember about herald's of valdamar* crap - I need the third one, not the first. Oh well.

So, um. Eagle-eye cherry?

I wish I hadn't left most of my stuff at home. Stupid dorm room. Yes, this list is just what I have in my dorm room I can bare to part with.

I have hardcover -
furies of calderon by jim butcher

lots of manga and as to dvd's... um...
The secret window

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Eagle-Eye Cherry is officially on hold for you! I'd love to hear what manga and DVDs you have, but if not I'd probably be happy with Furies of Calderon.

[zeenell]

problem is is that I sorta forgot to pack most of my dvd's. As to the ones I brought to teh DORM OF DOOM

level C (yaoi, ha it's anime pr0n and they don't show the penises (penii?0 but they outline it with ejucalate. Seriously, it's fun to watch just to shout invisible penisis at the screen.

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I'd love to trade for Alias Season 1. Jennifer Garner, yay!

Hmm, I could trade Six Feet Under Season 1 for it (DVD). I have Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? on VHS. Actually, I have a whole bunch of other classic movies on VHS I could swap- To Have and Have Not, Casablanca, and lots more that I can't think of at the moment.

Also, in the David Hewlett media department, I have Scanners II on VHS and Century Hotel on DVD.

In books, I have a extra copy of Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex and A.S. Byatt's Little Black Book of Stories. Let me know if any of these sound agreeable.

Let me know if any of these sound agreeable. :)

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Wow, you have Century Hotel! I had to download mine (illegally of course, because Canada sucks at promoting its own productions). :(

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

Strangely, I keep finding copies of Century Hotel at places that sell used DVDs/VHS tapes. I've run across at least two this year. *shrug*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Oooh, tell me more about these classic movies! That sounds awesome.

[merelyn.livejournal.com]

K, besides those, I've got Showboat (the one with Ava Gardner), Citizen Kane, Born To Dance, and admittedly bad musical who's only point of interest is the fact that it was the only musical Jimmy Stewart was ever in- for good reason, You Can't Take it With You, On the Town, The Amazing Quest of Ernest Bliss, The Awful Truth, To Catch a Thief, an unfortuately tinted version of Adam's Rib, Psycho. There might be some more, too, I'd have to dig them up though.

[lordelessar.livejournal.com]

I want the Complete Fawlty Towers and Minority Report. um... I don't know what to trade. Can I just buy you something cool that you want instead or should I go look through my books for things I don't really want anymore?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Tell me about what you don't want anymore. I don't want to make you buy me anything.

[amireal.livejournal.com]

*holds this space until she can get back to her apartment and look at her shit*

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

*looks forward to it*

[roaringmice.livejournal.com]

I'd take the Burton on Burton, but have very little that I can trade. Let me know if any of these interest you:

- A CD: Deacon Blue - Our Town (Greatest Hits)
- A DVD about how to refinish wood furniture, floors and etc.
- A book: Lost, by Gregory Maguire
- A book: Why We Do What We Do: The Dynamics of Personal Autonomy by E. Deci

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Dammit! Somebody else at work must have snagged it, because it appears to be gone. I'll let you know if it suddenly reappears (this happens). If not, is there anything else you'd like?
