All the action is on my new WEBSITE:  www.onematchstick.co.za Come over there and see how the final trade fort the office space is happening...

I was born to make my last trade

The Italian Stallion came to town, visiting from Milan. I met him through an X-boyfriend. I met that X at Twenty30 where we were both volunteers. Another friend of the X and the Italian Stallion- they all studied together- joined us for dinner to catch up with the Italian Stallion. This friend turns out to be going out with Claire and was fortunately in town that night, so brought Claire with to meet the Italian Stallion. So that's how I met Claire and traded the cash.

But it gets even more synchronistically (is that a word?) interesting, as my life with it's many synchronous moments led all the way up to that evening when I met Claire.

So through the Italian Stallion who I met through my X who I met at Twenty-30 is where the link carries on. I found out about Twenty-30 through the Starfish Foundation, which I found out about through my gorgeous-and-clever-friend. Gorgeous-and-clever-friend became my friend after she hired me for a job at Nando's as a coach. I applied for that job because I was looking for a training job, to get points for a Visa to visit Aussie-boyfriend at the time who lived in Sydney. I met Aussie-boyfriend at a Ceroc dance class when I lived in Sydney...

Zoom back to when I was born in a hospital that no longer exists in Johannesburg. My parents were building their dream house and shortly after I was born we moved into this house.

Our neighbours who soon built their dream house right next door to us had a daughter. My neighbours' daughter and I became best friends. My neighbours decided a few years later that this house was no longer their dream house, and a house down the other side of the same street was now their dream house. So they moved.

I went off to school. Then high school, which is when I changed schools and went to the same school as my childhood-best-friend/old-neighbour. My childhood-best-friend/old-neighbour had neighbours too, including twins, who I got to know a bit. The twins and their family emigrated to Australia.

Turns out the Aussie-boyfriend who I fell in love with on the ceroc dance floor was one of the twins.

So it is amazing how life has a way of leading you to be right where you need to be in this moment.

Now I just need a synchronous moment to lead me to my next trade!

This guy's selling his father!

When I still had the cash to trade, Luke offered me his 'chick magnet father'!

Yip- if the hot air balloon flight hadn't come along as it did, then this might have been an option.

So, since I took up the balloon and not the chick magnet, Luke has decided to continue with selling his dad. His advert on gumtree is:
I'm selling my dad for a dinner date... he's single, the women think he is gorgeous, high standards, good morals, fabulous personality, 6' 3, fit, energetic... make me an offer. e-mail for photos.
Well, in the process of looking into the offers for the cash I had already asked Luke for a photo- you've got to check out the merchandise before you buy you know!- and so I'll give you a sneak peak at some photos:


So- if anyone reading this knows of someone who needs a dinner-date, or is in need of a date themselves, make Luke an offer!

Laters!
Telana
PS- I can't help wonder if Luke's Dad knows about this?

Balloon Safari with Champagne Breakfast for Two!

Through the amazing synchronicity of life, I met Claire just a few days ago. She has granted my wish and has helped me grow the R3000 cash into something grand!

And it's not only grand- it's also hot! And airy! And high! And bubbly!

It's an adventure that will get you up out of bed before the sun rises! An adventure that has been described by many as the closest thing to heaven known to man! It's a magical experience! And one that you get to share with that someone special!

It's a Balloon Safari with Champagne Breakfast for Two!

Cash for Balloon Safari Trade- Claire and Telana


The person who makes me the best offer for this Balloon Safari will start this adventure near the Hartebeestpoort Dam, surrounded by the Magaliesberg mountain range, South Africa. They will be quaffing champagne as they glide over tree tops, listening to the noises of animals below in between the odd blast from the powerful burners! After the thrilling hour of spectacular and fascinating aerial sightseeing, they'll enjoy a freshly cooked hearty champagne breakfast!


So through fate, or synchronicity, or just pure luck - a series of events that I'll explain another day- I had the pleasure of meeting Claire. Claire is a project-manager-wanna-be-energetic-healer working on an exciting project for one of our big retail stores. She had this balloon adventure tucked in her purse - literally - just waiting for the right daring soul to take it up! As it turns out, trading it with me for the cash - we decided - was just the right next step to get this adventure out of her purse, and into the world to find the two daring souls to take it up. Not that Claire is not a daring soul- just in this instance she's a fairy godmother in that she's granted me my wish for the three grand!

And here we are! the Experience now up for trade is:


One original Balloon Safari with champagne breakfast for 2 people with Bill Harrop's "Original" Balloon Safaris- South Africa's best licensed balloon air transport service company in operation since 1981!
- Voucher valid anytime until the 31st August 2009
- Meet near Hartebeesport Dam as the sun rises
Tea/Coffee and biscuits as you help prepare the balloon for flight
Sip champagne as you enjoy an hour long flight
Get collected from where you land and driven back to Base for a hearty champagne breakfast
Get awarded a citation for bravery with due ceremony!

So... are you a daring soul?

Will you make me an offer I can't refuse so that you and that someone special who makes your eye twinkle, can go for a flight of fantasy that is really different and special?

Come on, I dare you!

I am willing to trade a years business coaching for your business or your 'incubatee'? John

More info:After a ten year season with corporates I initated a consulting practice with the purpose of enabling individuals, teams and organisations. We are ten years down that road, with an interesting track record. We have a good range of current clients with an approximate turnover of R 3 000 000,00 per annum. Seven full time employees.

My specialisation is enabling business leaders to deal with theirchallenges, these range from start ups to billion rand turnoverorganisations.

We have a registered non profit that incubates start up businesses, the business coaching range is quite extensive, but here is a summary:
- Access Model: - Assessment planning; - Capital; - Capacity; - Energy; - Systems; - Sustainability

My business equips emerging businesses with a range of tools, techniques and methodologies to grow.

The face to face coaching would be for Cape Town, at our office for one hour per month for one year, (the equivalent to R 12 000,00). A client would be able to exchange the coaching for unlimited on line or telephone coaching to the same value if they are not based in Cape Town.
We have numerous case studies as references, (a challenging and enabling process that will result in measurable resualts.

We are selective of who we coach, testing their reputation / receptivity / resourcing to ensure that we have a reasonable level of success predicted.It is therefore tricky to depict whether we would commit, it depends mostly on the individual.

Most creatively written offer!

How is this for a poetic offer for the 3 grand:

EAST meets WEST

The feel of SILK against your skin.
The allure of the rich diversity of the EAST,
Intricate GOLD detail against an elegant BLACK background.
The distant sound of tinkling GLASS adornments.
Centuries of amazing BEAUTY for printed paper of monetary value.
A beautiful black and gold Sari imported from India with matching jewelery.
Feel like a princess for R3000


Thanks Bianca for the offer! Anyone want a Sari?

Also got an interesting option which I am considering, which is a kind of do-it-yourself BEE verification and management solution- it's a smart box called BOXSMART- which comes with a file, DVD's and the support of the cool guys at BEESA! Any companies out there need to get a BEE Certificate organised?

I'm off to the Organic Market now for some chocolate cake!
Ciao!

Do turtles sing? And what is Telana up to?

I know I've appeared quiet...

But I'm known to make a BIG noise in my quiet way. ;o)


Behind the scenes lots is happening! Thanks to those of you who have been nudging me and checking in to see what's happening.

I've been researching quite a few offers, finding out more about the items and their perceived value that others have of them, and strategising as to what would be a good option to then trade on... and it hasn't been easy! I've even been a breath away from getting in my car and driving 6 hours to Durban to make a trade, only to find out at the last instant that the info I was given of a model number was incorrect, so the item was no longer 'right' for this project...

I'm not sharing too much on what items I have liked the possibilities of, as I'm assuming that may limit the perceptions of those that are considering making me offers. (What do you think? Leave a comment). I find that when you want something specific and definite- then you need to communicate that in specific, definite terms. However, if you want people to be creative, to use their possibility thinking, then the more open ended the better. So I aint telling as to what I have explored in depth as options- only those who have received a barrage of questions from me might have a clue! And I thank you for patiently answering all my questions :o) You guys have been STARS!

I've also learnt something with using "cash" as an item to trade. And that is that cash has such a definite, exact value that it's limited, in a way, the offers that have been made. On the other hand, it has brought a lot of interest, and hence over 90 offers have been made! Wow!

So from here, there are a few items that have verbally been offered that I am waiting clarification of the details and a commitment that they are offers, and there are a few items that I am still considering and researching and speaking to some mentors who I believe have amazing strategy-minded brains! And in between all of this I am still being a change agent and a facilitator of excellence in communication!

So- if you've been wondering where Telana has gone to? And when will she make her next trade? And if turtles sing? then rest assured, knowing that activity galore is happening behind the scenes of this blog! In the instant that I find the right item for my strategy, or find out if turtles do in fact sing, then I'll be making it known! (If you're following me on twitter- then you'd be one of the first in the world to know when this happens!)

Later!
"Noisy" T

PS: Oh! And by the way- I did hear back from Kyle himself. He DOES have plans to come to sunny South Africa, but just no idea when! I'll let you know when I know!

Am I a closet geek or what?

I wanted to write about the GRID last Friday - but the rumour of Kyle coming to South Africa totally sidetracked me. It's still got me asking every person I meet if they've heard anything about this gossip.

Anyway, so back to the GRID.

I went last Thursday night to the 27 dinner in Melrose Arch and what a fun evening! I met Simon there who was telling me about the GRID and how nifty it is. I - being the closet geek that I am - had no idea what he was talking about. So Simon, in his funky psychedelic orange shirt (which I just had to have!) suggested I get onto the GRID to experience it for myself.

"Sms 'grid' to 33313 to join" he chirped cheerfully. Jon and Mike were there too, so we all pulled out our cell phones to get going!

But what a laugh!

I smashed the screen of my niiice nokia in December last year when I was roller-blading along Durban beachfront with Rodrigus. You see, I'm a bit of a hazard on my blades as I like the speed- really I do! I can get up quite a bit of momentum on them, but I haven't quite mastered the art of stopping. So collisions with what ever can help stop me in an emergency often seem to happen. And on one such instance my phone didn't survive.

So now I have my brothers old hand-me-down nokia from the dark ages until I get my upgrade in a few months.

So yes, laugh at me like I laughed at myself, along with Simon and Jon and Mike, at my eagerness to get onto the GRID which quickly turned into a wish to transform my dinosaur into a flashy, just released, super-duper WAP enabled cellular device! I think I might have even turned a light shade of Simon's t-shirt too in between the chuckles and comments!

So now this is the problem. I've heard about the GRID and how it can show you where your fab friends are, as well as nifty images and stories of what's around the very spot you stand on in that moment. But I can't actually experience it to find out if it is as exciting and neat as it sounds!

So would you be willing to get onto the GRID and check it out for me and then leave a comment here as to what you think of it? Is it worth me getting my cell phone upgraded ASAP?

Thanks. This closet geek will be grateful. ;)
T

Telana and Tequilla
PS- that's me in the photo in Simon's T with my poodle contemplating my dinosaur
and it's unfortunate inability to get onto the GRID

Kyle MacDonald in South Africa?

I was chatting to Ken today at a SA Business Hub coffee group. It was the second time I've met him. He's into bartering too, but in some more formal kind of way using the net. I'm going to meet up with him sometime soon to learn more about this online trading system he's involved in- sounds just up my alley, don't you think? I'll tell you more after I learn about it.

Best part of our chat, though, was when he let a little rumour out- that Kyle MacDonald might be coming to visit South Africa soon- like this year sometime! How awesome would that be?!

For those that don't understand my excited enthusiasm and twittering at the possibility of meeting Kyle- here's the facts: he's the creative individual who inspired me to start onematchstick; He was trading a red paperclip at the time, and got to his goal of turning it into a house; He's since written a book about that adventure too!

I'll hopefully get to chinwag with Kyle in person and that'll be fun! And not to mention it'll save me a trip to Canada to tick off my goal!

Until I find out more, let me know if you hear anything to confirm this rumour! Ok?

Thanks!
T

PS- I emailed Kyle too to see if there's some substance behind the rumour. Will keep you updated as he lets me know!

Amusing research

Wow! So the offers have been coming in- now I have 39 offers to wade through! Some new ones have been for TV's for cars! And for fancy cooking equipment! BMW mags! Wooden tables! The options continue to be so varied and exciting!

I've been busy looking into each one- and into a few options in a lot more detail to decide. It's been fun doing the research, as I'm learning a lot and getting to meet some fab people in the process!

Thanks to those that have answered my many questions with such patience and a hint of amusement in your voices!

So... watch this space! And have a fab Easter break! I am ;)

T

More lekker offers!!

I found gumtree.com yesterday, and got some new offers through it! It continues to amaze me the amount of sites you can advertise on, and which ones actually get results!! If I learn nothing else from this trading project (and I’m learning LOTS!), I'll know which sites are active and actually 'work' in what they were developed to do!! How useful, hey?!

So, more offers have been made! Yayyy!!! They range from:

A weekend to any City Lodge in SA!

To a Rolex Watch.

To fancy motorbike (well fancy to me because I know nothing about motorbike accessories!) Shoei Helmets!

To a Sony PlayStation with games and a cell phone and Spiderman!!!

And more cellphones!


Check out all the details of these offers on my offer page by clicking here.

And I'm thinking that a deadline for accepting offers is materialising in my mind... So watch this space! It's getting close to the time to make my next trade :)

Later!
T

and another healthy offer :)

Evangelia has made me an offer that involves some health coaching and nutritional products. :)

That makes it a record of 8 offers so far!

You can check them all out here, and if any of them interest you then shout!

Smiles,
T

another offer!

and I think he's from America, so it's my first offer from overseas!

i will trade you a working laptop computer, vintage Beatles albums, an 8 mm film camera and a homer simpson doll. -- Nathan
How exciting!
T

Ho ho ho! New offers!

Just got back from Christmas celebrations in Durban, to find that Santa brought in some new offers for the 3 grand CASH!

They include a pair of Guess Jeans, a Murano fruit bowl and online advertising for a week!

Wow! Thanks Santa!

Check out the details on my offers page here!

Later!
T

I've been made more offers!

Well two offers and another half an offer.

I posted a listing on the market place on Facebook- and received a note from a guy saying "I'll give you what you want for R3000". Really?? Well I replied saying "I want title deeds for property that I can use as offices. Do you have any of those lying around that you'd swap for R3000? If not, what else would you offer me for the 3 grand?"... I haven't heard back from him yet... maybe he'll come up with a counter offer.

Then on bidorbuy I listed a classified advert- and got this offer:
hp ScanJet 7650 with ADF hardly ever used. Condition as new. Value R7999.

The other offer is from Martin- he's offering a o2 (oh two) super easy to use PDA which is in very good condition- you can see all the specs of this on my offer page here.

Interesting- seems that bidorbuy and facebook marketplace are useful ways for me to get exposure, and also interesting that all the offers so far have been electronics.

Remember I also still have an offer of a laptop from Resh, a HP NX7300! And exciting thing is I've been made an offer on an offer (a first for onematchstick!)- Andrew has offered me a Panasonic video camera, it’s a NV-GS200!

So if you would like a laptop, a scanner or a video camera- NOW is the time to shout, get hold of me and convince me on which offer to accept, as I work through considering the offers to date, and seeing if the splurge of internet activity that I did recently brings in any more offers!

Fridge Magnet

One of the most-needed, frivolous, useful yet unimportant items that you've just got to have is a fridge magnet.

This device comes in all shapes and sizes, and often nowadays appears as a rectangular magnetic piece of plastic. It is most often used for holding those pieces of paper on your fridge that you feel you should be looking at often, they just tend to become part of the fridge after a while... It is also known to be used to keep those photos to remind you of moments with friends or family - or to remind them of those times! Or for - like what my friend uses hers for- to hold up the cosmo calendar of the hottest men for year ahead!

So what ever you use your fridge magnets for - here's one type that you can add to your collection:

magnet

It was made by a supporter of onematchtstick- and she generously gave me a whole whack of them! So if you’d like one, contact me to organise collection/delivery!

Have a fab weekend!
Telana

What would you do for R50000 cash?

Well, I made a movie!

bidorbuy is giving away R50 k and I'm hoping my movie will help me win it!

If you think my little flick is the bomb, then how about voting for me!

You can watch my movie and vote for me by clicking here.


And then the question becomes: What will you do for R3000 cash? Make me an offer, and perhaps I'll vote for your suggestion!
Tag : , , , ,

..got an offer

Late on Saturday night I got a sms- Resh has offered me a Laptop for the R3000 cash! It's a HP NX7300- second hand, but in good condition!

Cool hey! My first offer!

So what will you offer me? Hmmm?

Three Grand Cash

This trade is all about G's- Gaynor, Gerald and Grands- three of them! Isn't that gleeful?

The Holiday in Utopia has at long last been traded!

Bet you were wondering if I'd ever generate it, hmmm? Well, I'm a gritty girl! I gnawed at quite a few things to trade the Holiday, spoke to a ginormous number of people, broke it into pieces to trade, even graffiti'd about it and took a gamble attempting to auction it off on bidorbuy.

What finally helped me move this great Holiday was I ended up gashing it into 2 weekends and converted each weekend into glorious cash! Yip... greenbacks!! I went this route after the gridlock of seeing that even the 2 gaily people who were genuinely keen for the weekends didn't have anything to trade with me- not even a gizmo or gadget! So I took a gusty step...

Gaynor - what a gem she is - was the first to take one of the getaway weekends. She found it through the gainful listing I made on that godsend Facebook, and has been to glistening Utopia before, so was gung-ho to get a few friends together and with her fiancé they're going to have a grandiose time this summer!

Gaynor

Then I went gallivanting to the genial gent next door to me, called Gerald, who has just moved in. It turned out he just needed to grasp that he could go mountain biking at Utopia and he was also gung-ho for the getaway!

Gerald trading with Telana

Well, I did a little gyrate! Then a gambol! And agreed to accept cash again as I giggled with glee, thinking at the genesis of this whole gradual trade! At that moment I felt like I'd won the grand slam!

Mixed with feeling grateful for Gaynor and Gerald's generosity, and giddy with gasping "Gee whiz's", I now feel a bit of gusto to put the cash up for trade, and see what happens.

So: be my guest- make me an offer! What would you trade with me for R3000.00? That's three thousand South African Rands. THREE GRAND! Be part of granting my wish and let's grow this 3000 and into something grand!

So send me your offers of what you'd swap for R3000 on my gmail onematchstick@gmail.com or my cell +27 83 730 2979.

Groovy!
Telana

I hate to sell it, but I need the money and at least if you accept, it'll become part of a cool internet phenomenon. By the way, I have to praise you for your brilliant idea.

I've half traded the holiday!

Yayyy!!! I've traded half the holiday!

One of the 2 weekends has been snatched up by a lady in Cape Town! She offered me cash and found it through the Facebook Marketplace!! Facebook is really cool ('',)

So now I have one weekend left to trade... yes, ONE weekend left… who wants it?

Once the deal is finalised, I'll update you on the details and what my next step is going to be… hehe!


Cheers!

Japanese for matchstick?

Well not sure if this site called "no chocolate no life" that I found is fully operational, but intersting to see they copied one of my posts about the holiday for trade in Japanese! Well, some Japanese and some English...

I wonder what one matchstick is in Japanese?

I'm a twitter who has a facebook!

It seems the latest Internet craze to hit South Africa, or at least my friends here in SA, is facebook.com. Funny thing is I've been telling them for ages about these cool sites that allow you to link with others, find nifty groups to belong to, share ideas with like minded peeps, get in touch with long lost friends and keep up to date. And it's taken facebook to get them to have a taste of what I've been going on about (I think some of them thought they had lost me to the world of the internet until they've now become lost).

The other site that I just found is twitter.com. So I'm a twitter now too. With this site though, I'm amazed at how people find the time to keep updating their status so regularly... Don't know if I’ll be a frequent twitter-er... time will tell!

So if you're wondering what I'm going on about, check out facebook.com and add me as a friend (search for Telana)! And then also on twitter (I need a few more friends on twitter- only got one so far!) But I warn you- it is addictive!

Later

I've got another offer for the Holiday!

"5kg jar of jelly beans in the colours that are your favourite!" That's a lot of jelly beans, hey!

Lorraine also says that she would take people on the holiday with her who have never had the chance to do something like that before! What a lovely gesture!

So... do you have a thing for jelly beans? If so, let me know and we'll see if that helps me decide if I should accept this offer or not.... I've still got the Juvio training CD's, the box of matches and possibly some artwork (still waiting to hear from the person what artwork she is offering)... and I have a plan that I want to explore... it's an "out of the box" kinda approach to move the holiday!

So thanks Lorraine for the offer, I'll let you know soon what I choose to trade for!

Mielie signs

Easter has come and gone already!

I had a great break in Clarens over Easter- took Rodrigus with so he could see the funky little town and also Golden Gate nearby. You can read about it on Rodrigus the frogs blog here.

All on the way to Clarens, along the roadside, where signs saying "Dis mos... mielies" next to fields of mielies! What's that about? Are there that many tourists that go on that road to Clarens who have never seen Mielies and need signs to point them out? But then again, if they are tourists, they probably don’t understand Afrikaans... so what's with these signs, hmm?

Deadline time

Ok. My creative side has been working hard, and I’ve come up with an idea on trading my holiday.

I have two possible offers that I’m waiting for confirmation of, and I’ll have followed up with those by Wednesday, hopefully. If they come through then it's decision time about the offers I have received. If nothing comes of those leads, then I’ll be executing my inventive idea on trading this holiday.

So- I foresee that before the end of April, I’ll have made my next trade.

If you’ve been thinking of going to Utopia- now is the time to make me an offer! Otherwise, watch this space for news- it's gonna be exciting stuff!

Have a fab week!

Imagine prohibiting yourself from shopping for a year!

Yes really, no shopping at all for a year. Could you do that? The challenge involves only being able to buy items if they fall in the category of "health and safety"- that is, you can only buy food and basic necessities – nothing else!

The only way you'd be able to get that "new" cd or piece of jewellery or furniture would be through barter- you'd have to find something you could swap for it!

Well, what a challenge! And there is a group of people who call themselves "Compacters" who have been doing this since 2005 in San Francisco and they now have over 8000 followers all over the world!

It looks like this bunch are so worried about the effect of modern consumerism, resulting in such a huge amount of waste, effecting the environment, that they woke up with such a consumer hangover that they decided to go cold turkey! No shopping for a year. Nadda! Nix!

As I was reading the article about this here, I couldn't help but chuckle as it mentions an "underwear clause", meaning that they can buy new underwear- it's an essential necessity to them! Ha! I’d have to agree. They also give themselves one day a year where they can go spend what they want to stock up- I wonder if they tend to overspend on that day, hmmm?

What really interested me in that article was how they tended towards bartering or trading to get what they needed as they went about their day to day lives- just like the bartering I am doing here to get offices.

So I take my hat off to them for not buying a single thing (except food and underwear) for a whole year- I don't think I could go without some things... it might be worth an experiment some day... but not today

Wine on Auction

Well, this Internet stuff seems to be rubbing off onto the people I have traded with!

Nikki started her blog. And remember Nick who traded the wine with me for the books? Well, his company is now auctioning off some wine on bidorbuy! bidorbuy just recently opened a "Food and Beverage" category and I was telling Nick's daughter about it, and now they are auctioning off a Magnum of wine!

Check it out here

I'm curious to see how it goes!
