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*)

[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.

[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]

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*

[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.

[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.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Do you have any more less-fannish things? Because the truth is, when I break up with a fandom, it tends to be messy, and I don't want too much of his stuff lying around. (I also have a couple of the X-Files things already. *blush*)

I'm sure we'll find something. I'm holding it for you.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

*goes to do a name search, if Yahoo agrees to cooperate*

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Hm, I have some soft cover books that I've either started and never finished (because they were a little bit kind of awful?), or I have books that I love and reread over and over. However, I think I could probably bear to buy new ones...

Well, what kind of books do you read? And music do you listen to? I'm sure I have something here that you might like. ;)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I have insanely eclectic taste in books. I love sci-fi/fantasy, but I also love novels of all sorts. And biographies/memoirs of interesting people (lately rock bios), and popular science, and pop culture essays, and humor, and travel... Here's my LibraryThing catalogue (http://www.librarything.com/profile/trinityofone), if that helps.

As for music...I don't really listen to CDs much anymore, horribly. Unless you have some rare U2 singles...

[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
the opal deception (artimis fowl)
discard from library - lazarus rising - starfist novel (military sci-fi ftw). by david sherman and dan cragg

paperback
blood rites - jin butcher (dresden files 6)
death masks - jim butcher (" " 5)
bitter waters - wen spencer (ukiah oragan 3)
the gates of heaven - curt benjamin - vol. 3
running with the demon - terry brooks (first ini whichever series)
winder riders oath - david weber
novels 5-8 of the stephanie plum series

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

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

Heh, no U2 for me.

I have a cool book called Hot Zone which is about the Ebola Virus outbreak. You can check it out on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Zone-Terrifying-True-Story/dp/0385479565/sr=1-1/qid=1158512888/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-4129292-1536139?ie=UTF8&s=books) if you like, but I will also check my shelves for some fantasy books.

(also, I have a poem being published and the book is released on Friday. If you like, I can send you a copy, I can even autograph it! As could twentyfivepast, maybe, since she's in it, too. It only costs $5 though, which I don't feel is good enough for the Gatekeeper Trilogy)

[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.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on the poem! That's so exciting! And I'd love to have that, although if you want to get back to me about the fantasy books, that'd be cool, too.

Hot Zone is a cool book, but I've read it, I'm afraid. I'm sorry I'm so difficult!

[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

[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]

Oh man, I offered chibi Hewletts to lallybroch in exchange for new fic - this, however, is FAR MORE DIFFICULT, lol!

Okay, so my roommate has raided her bookshelf, and she has:

- Sara Douglas' 'The Axis Trilogy', which is apparently also called 'The Wayfarer Redemption', because book 2 has a different cover and stuff, but it is definitely part of the same series. Um?

- Melanie Rawn's 'The Dragon Prince' series, which is apparently like The Dragonriders of Pern, which I have never read. Also, Book 1 was originally owned by Canadian author Carol Matas, who is close friends with my roommate's family.

What I have:

- Gardens of the Moon, Steven Erikson
- The Man In The Iron Mask, Alexandre Dumas
- The Dark Moon, Julia Gray
- A Shadow on the Glass, Ian Irvine
- The Shanghai Murders, David Rotenberg
- The Green Mile and The Dark Tower IV, Stephen King

(again, all books are softcover unless otherwise noted, which...no, none of these are)

DVDs:

- The Fast and the Furious
- Chasing Amy
- The Alf Files (don't...ask)
- Romeo and Juliet (DiCaprio version)

[aphelant.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

I'm sorry, I suck for being so difficult. I guess I've spent too much time at real swap meets, arguing people down!

But I'll take The Shanghai Murders. And if you want to throw in your book of poetry, too, I'd love to read it!

Wanna send me your address? trinityofone AT livejournal DOT com

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

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

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

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

[zeenell]

I guess I'll try bleach. My friends keep raving on about the anime and the manga so I might as well try it.

although the butcher book read by james marsters is just as tempting so... do you see anything else you like in my list?
