Got yet another offer...

Over last weekend, someone offered me a six foot tall inflateable Spider-man for the Pez dispenser. I have decided that the deadline for me to move on one of these items will be the end of the month. Get your bids in now while you can, folks...

In other news, some of my friends are looking at buying condos over in Slidell. Normally, this wouldn't matter to me much, but for an additional 350 dollars a month, they can get a 50 foot boat slip. I'm already negotiating to put my boat there :)

If I might direct your attention to the right...

My good friend Drew, in the comments for the last entry said that I should let everyone know what offers had been made thus far. Sadly, all this did is show how unobservant a guy Drew is.

Of course I already thought of that... Under the heading "offers being considered" You will see the items i've been offered so far for the Darth Vader pez. A difficult choice to say the least. While the He-Man action figure is totally cool, I'm thinking that the stuffed Baby Kermit will be more tradeable in the long run. I am always willing to hear any commentary over what item I should trade for whatever is on the table... so feel free to comment on what you would like to see me trade a given item for, or even if you feel I've made a mistake. I live for stuff like that :)

Off to a promising start...

I am so stoked.

I've got two offers thus far for Pez Vader... I figure I'll give it a full week though before I accept one of them. I have it on good authority that at least one female admirer is frantically searching her belongings for something to trade because she noticed the part in "the rules" that says I will make all trades in person. Apparently just the prospect of a visit from the Big Kahunah is enough to motivate some to action, which is fine by me :)

It's true, I'll travel up to 1200 miles from New Orleans to make a worthwhile trade. Quite frankly, the only reason that i've limited myself to that distance is that it's the farthest I can realistically drive in a single weekend. (Fly? you do remember the whole fat guy/no money thing, right?) I would like very much not to lose my job over this boat thing, ya know. It's funny though, that when I told my boss about this, he laughed pretty hard. And not in the "I'm laughing with you" way either. More in the "did you ride the short bus to school" kinda way.

I just grinned and told him I would make it a point to invite him to my boat-warming party.
