..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?

T

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 bought it in Europe in late 2007. It's extremely hard to find one now as they're so limited (and it's probably even harder to find in South Africa). It's still in its box and has never been used.
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.
Please get back to me ASAP, thanks, and good luck with your project :).

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!

News on my first trader

Remember my first trade? Of the one ordinary green pen with Nikki?

Well I was checking in with Nikki and saw that she's on holiday, and that she has become a blogger since we traded the matchstick for her pen. And she's got lots to share about on her green blog (she sure like's green hey!). Her mission in life is to inform others of the kinds of fraud and scams that take place to that you have the power to prevent them happening to you!

So check out her blog if you want here.

Later!

Keep this in mind, and love..

If we can look passed all the commercialism on a day like today - the overpriced roses and endless love songs, the pressure of feeling we need to conform and send the card... can we see for a moment the offering a day like today brings in allowing us to celebrate the gift of love? How have you celebrated Love today?


Nothing last forever
Rabindranath Tagore (1861 – 1941)

Nothing lasts forever,
No-one lives forever

Keep that in mind, and love

Our life is not the same old burden
Our path is not the same long journey
The flower fades and dies
We must pause to weave
perfection into the music

Keep that in mind, and love

Love droops towards its sunset
To be drowned in the golden shadows
Love must be called from its play
And love must be born again
To be free

Keep that in mind, and love

Let us hurry to gather our flowers
Before they are plundered by the passing winds
It quickens our blood
and brightens our eyes
To snatch kisses that would vanish
If we delayed

Our life is eager
Our desires are keen
For time rolls by

Keep that in mind, and love

Beauty is sweet for a short time
And then it is gone
Knowledge is precious
But we will never have time to complete it
All is done and finished
In eternal heaven
But our life here is eternally fresh

Keep that in mind, and love

Suggestions for offers for the Holiday

Ok- so I've been asking people off line if they would trade something for a holiday, and the number one question is "What would I trade you?" My answer is just about anything! Be a dare devil and take a chance offering what ever you think of!

So here are some ideas... Because the value (not necessarily monetary value) to you of the item you offer should be less than the value of the holiday, or equivalent, but to me, it just might be of more value. And we'll never know until you make me an offer.

So how about offering me one or two or plenty of the following:

  • Lawn mower
  • Cash
  • Collection of old CD’s
  • Deluxe Fly swatter
  • Auto-graphed cricket bat
  • Haircuts for a year
  • Jet ski
  • Another holiday
  • Offices
  • A gym membership that is transferable that you never use
  • Rent for 6 months
  • A makeover
  • A painting that you no longer like
  • A day at a spa
  • A laptop
  • Washing machine
  • Quad bike
  • Your collection of Spiderman comics
  • A bicycle that is sitting collecting dust
  • A service that you offer, or product that you sell

You can get a few friends together -the holiday sleeps 5 easily, so you could get 4 other friends and you all go during the week.

Or get 9 other friends to come up with something to offer me, and then 5 of you take one weekend, and the other 5 take the other weekend! I am sure 10 heads together could come up with a brilliant offer!

It's also an ideal getaway for a family, so what a family project to chat about at the dinner table about what you could offer me?

So come on, make me an offer! Leigh recently made an offer of a whole box of matches for the holiday! Who knows, maybe I'll take it and start trading more matches...

So contact me and make an offer- call or sms on 083 730 2979 or email on onematchstick@gmail.com - even skype me when I’m online at telanas- it's easy to get hold of me!

Looking forward to some offers!

Check this article!

One matchstick is in the Women Inc magazine!


Women Inc Article

Laaaast year I met the editor Rachel and she asked me to write a bit about my trading journey, and voila! They published the story! :) Exciting stuff! Check it out in Volume 2 Issue 2!

I think Women Inc is quite an exciting magazine- they call themselves the "Complete Resource for the Working Woman" and I have always found their articles useful and interesting. And for all the men out there who read my blog, they have just released a mag for the men- called "Every Man"- it's worth a look too! And Rachel's started a blog, so lots happening with this new magazine!

The best thing about this article was chatting to and getting to know Rachel a bit more- what an entrepreneurial woman! Actually the best part of this trading journey has been the people- people I have traded with, people I have met along the way who have helped me- like Dave from Raw Penguin who taught me a few blogging tricks (he's quite brill actually!); and Heino from Everyday Hardware who sold me paint for my mischief making; and new friends like Chris.

So I wonder who I'll be meeting next! Will it be you? If so, get in touch on onematchstick@gmail.com
