Sergers, B.A.S.S., and SO much more!

Let's keep things rolling! I have some really exciting news! BUT! If you want to read about the exciting next chapter, you will have to stay tuned to the end! I have been into some pretty big deals lately! If this is brand new to you, I began my journey about a month ago with a dream of owning my very own bass boat! I started with a small broken water pistol, traded that for a small page of stickers. The stickers went for an awesome wicker fish, that in turn went for some beautiful Asian decorations, which then went for what might have been the sturdiest rocking chair I ever sat in and.... as of now, I traded for and still own a VERY nice Savant serger (and accessories). I mean, honestly, a month ago, I would have never guessed that I would have gotten so far so fast! I mean, it took paper-clip-man an entire year to get his house and more trades to get to the level of value that I am at! GOOD GRIEF!

You think that's exciting?! Well, it absolutely is, but I want to tell you about some really exciting developments in the B.A.S.S. realm. About 2 weeks ago, I called into the bassmaster.com's advertising/sales department where you can purchase ad space in Bass Master Magazine and so much more. I spoke to a very sweet woman and told her my story. I explained how we could be mutually beneficial. It would be good for them because they could advertise on my page and because of how much traffic my page is getting (thanks to all of you), they would get some solid notoriety and promotion. I LOVE the thought of getting to be a part of getting Bass Master's name out there more and helping to enhance and progress the sport of bass fishing by any means possible. And on the flip side, they would help me get some spotlight so others could see my story and maaaayyyybbbeeee... just maybe, they could help me get that final trade for the bass boat of my dreams. Well, the sweet lady at Bass Masters said how exciting my story was and that she loved the vision, however, it was over her head. But, she was so inspired that she felt compelled to give me the number of someone who might be able to help. (I wish I could remember your name Bass Master sales lady! You are awesome!) So, she gave me the number of another wonderful woman named Trisha who just happens to be the Texas sales/advertising rep for Bass Master! How cool is that! I was about to pitch my story to the stinkin rep of Texas! So, again, I told her my story and she was so inspired and compelled to help me that she left the conversation with these words that I will never, ever, EVER forget... She said that this whole thing was technically over her head. Then she followed up with the fact that she was going to headquarters in Indiana the very next day and was willing to pitch my story to the people there who could do something about it! Even the part about them potentially helping me get that last trade!! HOW AWESOME! She said that she would let me know when she heard something. So, I waited... one day... two days... and by day three, I HAD to call and see what she found out. She informed me that she had passed on all my info and that if Bass Master wanted to do a story on my journey, that they would be in touch. So, I am waiting as patiently as I can and I'm so excited to see what might happen! I feel like there are a lot of exclamation marks in this post! Can you tell I'm excited?! To make things even more exciting, I am going to call Triton Boats, Skeeter Boats, Tracker Boats, Champion Boats, and anyone else I can think of and pitch them my story as well! I also plan on getting in touch with the local paper and seeing if they have any interest in helping me get the word out to the local West Texas area.

In the meantime, I have got to keep doing what I'm doing and get some more trades coming my way! I have even had one person say that if I can get somewhere near the $40,000 range that they would trade me a piece of property that they own! Maybe that should be my mark... it seems so unattainable, but so did a $800 piece of sewing equipment a month ago... So here's my exciting news! I have decided that in order to have a better chance of completing this journey, I am opening up my horizons. My wife has graciously agreed to let me advertise that if you are ANYWHERE in Texas, we can make a deal. I know that it will take some time, money, and effort, but it is TOTALLY worth it, even if I have to drive 10 hours in a day to make it happen! I will post similar ads in the Dallas area, in the Houston area, the San Antonio area and the Austin area in hopes that I might be able to find the right people for the trades! I am so very excited to see where this train will take me. Like I said earlier, it took my man Kyle MacDonald an entire year to get his appx. $50,000 house in Canada. Let's show him how we do it here in Texas! If you are out there anywhere in Texas and have the vision to see vision, or just really, really want my serger, I encourage you to email me at cag04f@acu.edu. Remember, all I want is something that is at least a little bit better than what I have. You can also call or text me during decent hours at 432-twoeighteight-four7zero6. Please leave me a voicemail if you don't get ahold of me. I can't wait to get the next offer!

I have a challenge for you. I searched and searched the net for information on this specific serger but to no avail. I would very much appreciate it if someone out there could find a link online for information on this serger. It is a Savant serger model number st600L. It would be very helpful in allowing people to understand its value. Please leave links in the comment box below. ALSO and more importantly, if you had anything in the world, not saying that you have to commit to anything,  but if you were able, what are some things you might think are comparable trades for my serger? I ask this so that people can get ideas of what might be something they could consider trading. Leave any thoughts in the comment box as well!

Thank you all again for making this so exciting. It would not be nearly as fun if I knew that I was the only one reading these. But, to date, my page has received nearly 1700 hits from 9 different countries. Way to go guys! And now that the word is getting out to the rest of Texas, I expect to see some serious increases in page views! Before you close out this page, I encourage you to subscribe to this page so we can keep in touch! Thank you again so very much! I'll keep you posted.
