Trading up to a Tesla

I’ve been pretty busy with a whole lot of things in my every day life lately and I haven’t had much time to concentrate on my next trade.

The item that I currently have in my possession hasn’t generated much interest. Even though it is a valuable item – I think I missed the mark. I should be concentrating on what regular people would want and not the core value of the item in question.

What do you think I should do with the item? Should I cut my losses and try to sell it directly on ebay? Then buy a new item with the money? Or should I continue trading? Does anyone out there know of a good trading place that could be more successful?

Don’t be afraid to comment! 🙂

I just posted my latest item in the trading section of the redflagdeals.com forums. These forums are quite active with users willing to trade items and looking for deals.

Hopefully I get some replies – Here is the link:

Now that I put free advertising on the table – I decided to update my ads on Kijiji and UsedOttawa. Here are the links:

I was thinking of sweetening the deal with free advertising for any business that gets involved in my tradeup to a #Tesla! What does everyone think about this?

A new page on my blog would be created to display the logo and company information for every business that gets involved. I would also take picture of the trade and post it in this section.

I haven’t gotten any emails regarding the switch. So I’m trying to get my blog followed through twitter and facebook. Thanks to everyone who’s participating!!

The second item in my trade journey has now been posted on Kijiji and UsedOttawa. Here are the links:

My first trade has been made!! A very nice individual (that wishes to remain anonymous), has traded me the camera for a small business telephone switching system. I checked on the internet and it sells for approximately 400$USD in like new condition.

He told me however that he would like a ride in the roadster when I get it. I obviously replied with a big YES! Everyone that helps me out throughout the trades will get a ride but he will definitely be one of the first for having started it all!

Well – that’s not bad for a first trade! Here are the pictures of the product. It is a TalkSwitch 48-NLS CT-TS01!
