Well we finally got a trade for the Fridge Magnet.  “34 Moving Boxes”.  Now before you think I’ve lost all my marbles, let me explain.  Any trade that I take on the TUTALS TRADES is done with a great deal of thought and research. (OK, maybe not a ‘great deal of thought’ but some.) I try to take a trade which I think could be useful to someone else.   

In this case, Moving Boxes.  There’s always someone moving from one home to their next, and when they do, they’ll need Moving Boxes.   

AND, when moving, a person usually finds stuff that they no longer want and wish to get rid of – so that’s where TUTALS TRADES comes to help.   

If you’re planning a move, and want to unload something – think of a trade for these boxes.   

Fran Rude, another big supporter of the Lethbridge Symphony, had just moved.   She needed to dispose of her moving boxes, and when we were chatting, I suggested I had and answer to her problem.   I had a nice Symphony Fridge Magnet that I could trade for the boxes.   

She jumped at the opportunity and now someone else can benefit.

Remember there are 3 trades going  - make me an offer!

Trade Stream #1  - is now the 34 Moving Boxes

Trade Stream #2 – is the Blackberry Smartphone package (an amazing trade)

Trade Stream #3 – is the iPod Shuffle.

If you have any questions about these trades or need a bit more of an explanation, you can contact me at  kandsgibson@gmail.com  

Or,  you can check for the explanation of TUTALS TRADES at http://tutalstrades.blogspot.com/2011/11/ok-tutals-trades-blog-is-now-underway.html

Remember this is all for a very good cause.  The Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra.

A BLACKBERRY SMARTPHONE and a bundle of electronics.  One great package.

Here it is, another Monday and another TUTALS TRADE.  I personally think this one is sooo cool.  Unbeknownst to me, my Grandson, Ty, was following my Tutals Trade Blog.

I received a phone call on Saturday that he’d like to trade a Blackberry Smartphone and a big bundle of other electronics for the Georgio’s Gift Certificate.  I was surprised he was following the Blog and Facebook posts, and I am very proud of him for stepping up to help the Symphony. With his Dad’s and Stepmom’s support he has offering ALL of the following:  (and all this will be included in ONE trade)  View a video at http://www.youtube.com/user/kandsgibson?feature=mhee

A Blackberry Pearl  8230 Smartphone  - This is a “TELUS” flip phone. I comes in its original package and includes charger, a hands-free mic/earphone attachment and computer jack for transferring pictures, etc. to your computer. See pics below

PLUS

A Belkin TuneBase  iPod player.  This is kind of neat. You just plug this gadget into your car’s cigarette lighter and you can play your iPod on your cars stereo system. Wireless.  Also in its original package with a bunch of accessories. see pics below

PLUS

A SONY CD/DVD Player Model# DVP-SR200P, with remote and AV jacks.  This is a Progressive Scan/DVD+RW/+R/-RW/-R Playback. (I’m not sure what all that means but it sounds like it will play AND record) see pic below

PLUS

A SONY Precision Cinema Progressive, CD/DVD Player.  Model#  DVP-NS63P.  This is a Progressive Scan 12bit/108MHz Video DAC/DVD+RW/+R-RW/-R Playback Unit. This also has a remote and AV jacks.see pic below

Note - ALL OF THIS will be included in ONE TRADE.  You get it all.

Remember also that I still have an iPod Shuffle in Trade Stream “C”

And a Lethbridge Symphony fridge magnet in Trade Stream “A”

OK - here we are one week after the trading started and I now have TWO trades to report.  Actually, the first one came in just hours after I posted last Monday, but my wife and I left town for 6 days, and I wasn't able to make the actual trade until just this morning.  So, Neil Johnson, from Melcor Developments in Lethbridge, contacted me and offered an Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB for the Symphony's golf towel. (Neil called it a crying towel because of the way he golfs)  Note: this is part  of  "Trade Stream C".  Melcor ( a land development company in Lethbridge) and Neil are great supporters of the Symphony so I immediately agreed to the trade.  See the attached video and pictures.  The iPod is still wrapped in it's original container and the one picture is off the Apple website.   I'm now looking for a trade for the iPod Shuffle.
The second trade was for the Symphony pen.  "Trade Stream B".  My friend and great restauranteur Tony, offered a Georgio's $40 Gift Certificate Package TRADED for the pen. I love Tony's restaurant, he's a GREAT cook, so when he offered this package for the pen, I jumped at the opportunity.  (Again, see the pics.  Tony did not want to go on camera, so his head waiter, Thomas did)

SO NOW - I have 2 new trades.   An Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB ("Trade Stream C") see pics below
and a Georgio's $40 Gift Certificate Package ("Trade Stream B") see pics


FYI - I still have the Lethbridge Symphony Fridge Magnet to trade as well. (Trade Stream A)

SO contact me if you're interested in making a trade for any of these.   kandsgibson@gmail.com

iPod Shuffle 2GB

REMEMBER - you will get the item you trade for.
(sorry pictures are not very well organized - I still have a lot to learn about Blogging!!)

iPod still in case

   

Georgio's was traded for the Blackberry package - see Dec 5 Blog

 

   TUTALS TRADES 

(Trade Up To Assist the Lethbridge Symphony)

This little project will be called the ‘TUTALS’ TRADES

It is fairly simple. I am starting with 3 items.  I’d like someone to trade for any 1 of the items.  I will continue to have 3 trading ‘streams’ going on at all times.   So, chose one of the items below (there are two pics of each item to help you decide), and make me a trade offer.

The idea is to raise funds and awareness for our Orchestra, so let your spirit of philanthropy soar and offer something nice to trade. 

Note, the trade item you’ve offered might not be chosen.   I hope to get a variety of items offered, and I’ll make the choice.  I will then advise everyone what the latest trade items are that are being offered.

At an appropriate time, probably around the 15^th trade, (depending on how it’s going for each of the ‘rings’) I will have an on-line auction for each of the final items.  All the cash raised from the sale will go to the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra.

When you make a trade, you will get the item you’ve traded for as soon as possible after I receive your item.  (Proof of ownership may be required – if you are going to offer a 2005 Rolls-Royce, I’ll need to know you actually own it! )

I want to thank everyone publicly for their trades; however you can remain anonymous if you wish.

Obviously I’d like to make as much ‘noise’ about this as possible to raise awareness of the TUTALS TRADES and the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra. 

Please feel free to pass the TUTALS TRADES links on to your friends.

I’m sure there may be questions, so I’ll do my best to answer them.  I hope to make this whole process as transparent as possible.

Remember, all the profit at the end of these auctions will go to the Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra in Lethbridge, Alberta.  The Lethbridge Symphony is aware of this project and does support it.

Some questions:

The question of who pays for shipping has come up. (if shipping is required)?

          I guess the best answer to this is I’ll see what happens with trade item.

If  we’re not talking about a large item, I would like the trade person to pay for his shipping and I’ll pay for mine.

When do the trades take place? 

I’m expecting I may get a few items from which to chose,  so there is no definite time period for trades.  That said, I don’t want this to drag out too long. The best answer is, we’ll just see how this plays out.

NOTE – I have thought of getting input from you and maybe voting on the trades, (engage the participants!) but I need to figure out how to do that.
