Trade that old Victory 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Now here is a guy willing to trade his item for anything of value. Maybe that old worn out Rodie, or that soon to be discontinued Victory.

Wonder if he'll still get scammers. "Good day good sir. I am interested in your item for trade. I have made arrangements with my shipper if you kindly reply with your name, address, bank account, blah blah blah".

I have seen something like this years ago. A kid started with a paperclip and kept up trading for better stuff. Ended up with a house in like a year

There was a show called "Barter Kings" a while back. Wasn't that drastic, but they would have a item in mind for a goal, buy something on the cheap, and keep trading up till they got what they were looking for. A neet show for a while.

Yup, he also wrote a book about it.
"Red Paperclip" or "One Red Paperclip" IIRC.
He was the first one to try doing that on CL, at least to that level.

I just watched Barter Kings on Hulu.
They start with something cheap they can't sell in their pawnshop (old laptop, croquette set, BBQ grill, etc.) & work their way all the way up to a speedboat, airplane & classic car and even a hot air balloon ride.

The house from 1 red paper clip is somewhere in Canada and has a giant red paper clip in the yard. Its a really cool watch if you look it up. Guy at one point had a snow mobile and a sit down lunch with Alice Cooper that he traded up for. Once the story really got going people were trading him just to be part of it.
