Can I trade some plastic army men for real mercenaries? I'm having problems with my island nation and tax haven.

Seems crazy, but then there are those would would pay enough for a single baseball card to allow someone to retire for life.

I'm not sure this collection is worth the value of a single real live collector car.

But it might be worth a mostly together rolling chassis that needs some TLC.

If this works out, perhaps I'll look into collecting Barbies and Lincoln Logs to make the above suggested trades.

Well, maybe not the Barbies, my wife would likely object.

There is that craigslist success story about the guy who started with nothing and traded up to a 10 year old porsche.

Mostly CL here is littered with those who have nintendo wees, landlocked boats, and dirt bikes and are looking to trade for perfectly running cars.

As fast as home prices are dropping it may become a reality.

Of course, all it takes is for someone to want the whole lot, the dirt bike, the boat, the Wii, and a china cabinet for their car.

When I listed the Geo, and I clearly said I had too many cars in the ad the respondent answered, he suggested a trade for his truck. Another suggested a trade for a dining room set.

It doesn't hurt to ask, but it sure makes me wonder sometimes.

I could buy a car from a sale of my baseball cards...albeit not a super nice one!
