Belly Button Ring For Trade, New

Hay all I have a brand new Belly Button Ring that I would like to trade with someone. My Belly Button Ring has a retail value of $5.00 and I would like something that is worth just a little more then that. It is 3 flowers that dangle, the top flower is not quite 1/2" then next one is about 3/8" and bottom one is about 1/4". It is silver metal with green stones on the peddles of the flower and a rhinestone in the center of the flower. If you are interested in trading with me let me know what you are willing to swap and I will let you know if I am interested.

Yes welcome...but one question. Why would someone trade something better for a used $5 belly button ring?

Sorry...no offense.

So are you trying to do the same thing as the one red paperclip guy? If so what is your end goal? Might be fun to try, but it has already been done so the novelty isn't there anymore.

She (I am assuming She) said it was new not used.

But I still nominate this for the oddest for sale / trade post in awhile!

I'll trade you a digital rectal thermometer. It's used, but it retails for about $15, so that would meet your requirements. Let me know!

she'd be trading up there. well on her way to the house in Canada.

btw, was your butt the lucky user of said thermometer? cause that increases it's value even more.

My response to ya'll

Well, my first response was to get very angry and reply in an ignorant manner. But that is not me and I won’t allow myself to stoop to that level. I get the feeling that alot of you thing that I am doing something wrong and stupid. And I am very sorry that you feel that way. In case ya’ll are not aware of it Trading/Bartering has been around for very long time. And has been done for many reasons, when a person does not have money to pay for something and when a person has something that they don’t want anymore and wants something else. So weather it be stupid or wrong it is what people have done for many years.

Now that I have said a little peace I would like to reply to all those kind words that were sent to me in reply to my post.

KEVS thanks for the welcome and not spouting off
BIGJON also thanks for the welcome and not spouting off and in reply to your question first it is a new belly button ring and I don’t know why anyone would trade for something better, maybe they have something they just want to get ride of and have wanted what I have to give
EMQTEE yes the red paperclip guy put the idea in my head and my goal is the same as his was a house though if I do not get that it is ok I will have fun with it and all I will really be out is some postage for delivery of what I am trading, and you know people do this sort of thing every day it just happened that the paperclip guy happened to be publicized. So the only way I know to get it out there is this way, the internet
KGSILVAS I don’t have a reply to you except WHAT EVER
ALWAYZMAREL Sorry not a joke, I am totally serious and I am going to have fun with it no matter how much negativity I get
JCRANMER Not a problem, no offense taken
BRAINSMILE Sorry dud I am not into belly button lint, though I do have a gag gift that I make that is called the Belly Button Brush if your interest in trading, HA HA
IALSOHAVEADREAM Well I also have a dream and that is what I am going for. And you are sick and demented. Very sorry I am not interest in your rectal thermometer. And not to burst your bubble but I would personally consider this item a garage sale item and with it being used that makes it worth about 1 dollar. But then when you think about it they have come a long way with thermometers and rectal thermometer are and may already have become a thing of the past which means yours it obsolete and worth nothing. SORRY, I’ll have to turn you down
NICKEL Again WHAT EVER, and sorry I have tried toe jam and it is not my cup of tea!!!!!!!!!
OLDDOG And I’ll bet that you say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Yep I serious, and I am going to do it. May not achieve what I am shooting for but I plan to have fun on the way, no matter how much crap I get on the way
OOBAKEEP So again I repeat myself trading is a part of life, I would like to know why you thing it is so wrong weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
REDCOLOURS TROLL sorry I guess I am stupid, I don’t get it??????????
And I suppose you are perfect, oh please show yourself so that I can touch your greatness, maybe some of it will rub off onto me and make me perfect just like you

So now do we have any serious traders out there? And thanks in advance for all your support in my ridiculous venture

Welcome to the boards!!! Don't take everyone so seriously, most of us are just a little sarcastic, that's all!!!

I would like to see said belly button ring being modeled by a hawt woman, preferably a celebrity, before I decide to purchase it.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't rub off. I've been rubbing for years, and the perfection doesn't end up on my hands. Sometimes it ends up in some kleenex, though.

word of advice: you'll never get anywhere stating "I want something worth more than what i'm offering." people will never respond to that with anything but eye-rolling. offer what you have, and see what others offer in exchange. pick the offer that has the highest bartering value.

right behind "somebody give me something for nothing" on the deal-breaker list, add "poor grammar and spelling" and "novel-length psychoanalyses of others replete with poo-scented irony."

oh, and good luck!

wait, wait, lemme see if i can guess all the levels!!!! oooh, i do so love a good game!

1) she thought you were seriously offering a used butt-stick

2) she thinks it's something that really ought to be sold at a garage sale

3) she's thought about this seriously enough to assign an actual value to the item

4) the pun on your name

5) the poor spelling

6) the poor grammar

7) the all-caps SORRY, indicating the delusion that a crushing slam-dunk was achieved

8) the notion that babies and ICU patients will no longer exist in the near future, making rectal thermometers obsolete


did i miss any?

You're only scratching the surface here! Although, to be honest, I hadn't included your #8, regarding the potential demise of rectal thermometry. But now that I think about it, that makes the list.

Further:

9) The crippling inability to grasp the sarcasm of others before delivering her own attempt at same.

10) The use of the "I'm with stupid" smiley because the word "stupid" was mentioned.

11) Completely undervaluing the potential dollar value of an instrument that may or may not have spent time in my anus.

12) Reference to herself as an NKOTB makes me wonder which one she is. Was it Donny? I bet it was Donny.

I'm sure I could keep going if you'd like.

Oh lord please do continue...

In fact, if I might suggest, due to the recent slow nature of these boards and the increasing popularity of this thread, we make this a daily routine. We keep adding a point to the list until all possible leads are exhausted...

What say you?

All right folks - enough fun at the new member's expense.

Please remember the trading rules - http://www.gotapex.com/for-sale-trad...uncements.html

This thread gets locked due to the silliness. Elietz, please feel free to start another thread on this topic if you like. I'm sure the new one will remain on topic.

Thank you
