Trading up for Ireland

In January, fellow freelance writer Rosie Colombraro embarked upon a mission to do something different with her blog, Trust the Universe, and with her New Year’s resolutions.  Like the guy who traded up from a giant paper clip to a house, Rosie decided to trade up some of her belongings for a trip to Ireland.

Well, it’s a couple of months later and Rosie still hasn’t seen the Emerald Isle nor fulfilled this lifelong dream on her “boxcar list.”  Being most likely somewhat Irish, and a freelance writer, and a fan of wacky ideas, I’ve committed some of my belongings to the cause.

So, here’s the deal:

  1. The following items are a package deal—no mixing and matching!
  2. You can send your traded items (or international flight vouchers) directly to me or Rosie.
  3. Once Rosie or I have received your trade, I will ship these items to anywhere in the continental U.S. (or anywhere else, if you’re willing to pay the postage).

And here are the items:

  • Teach Yourself Hindi book
  • Stuffed Mascot of Big-O Tires, named “Little O”
  • Framed picture of actor/rapper Mos Def
  • Charger for a Sony Cybershot T1 (camera stolen on a cruise ship)
  • IBM Thinkpad 2647
  • Dell Inspiron 3500

And just so you know I’m seriously giving away two laptops, a framed magazine cutout of a rap star and a Hindi book, here’s a picture:

So there you go—let’s start trading! If you have any questions, please post a comment below!
