What did you trade/swap today.

[decorum]

Inspired by

I want to contribute to this thread but I hardly ever buy anything...

from Nova and Pinkys' What did you buy today? thread.


I thought it might be interesting to see what items people give a new lease of life to ~ the old nugget 'You're into ...., aren't you. Have you got any use for ....' freebies are also welcome.


I'll start it off with two items. The first is a Millers Falls Model 2 'cigar' spokeshave and a W.Marples & Sons 12" 'Cast Steel' drawknife (both freebies ).

I've also been fettling the handle of a Martindale 350L machete ~ the standard handle is huuuggee. Traded for a bit of repair work a whiile back.

Today I'm trading 725g of down(in a sleeping bag) for a thermarest.The sleeping bag was bought specifically to take some of the down out and has been traded to someone else with the same idea.

Cake. I give someone a lift to work a couple of times a week and she repays the favour with home-made cakes. Can't be bad!

hahah i bet i look like a proper charity case,

But on the same token, Mrs Raikey is sick of working in my "Dispatch Department" ha ,...

she says i send out 3-4 parcels a week on average,...

My way of thinking is,

"if for the price of a stamp you get pull someone out of a problem, or even just make someone smile, then go for it!!"
