What have you made a TRADE with That wasn't GUN related?


Recommended Posts

I traded about $30,000 worth of guns and $150,000 to boot for a 35 acre farm about 8 years ago. Guy wanted $180,000 for the property and I didn't have but $150,000. I didn't want to have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for a loan approval and pay a bunch of closing costs so I traded him my gun collection.

Many years ago I traded a gutted out Bass Boat hull with a non-running motor for a .357 Ruger Blackhawk and a 3rd Issue Colt Detective Special. I had bought the boat wrecked and was working on it, but the project was getting to be more than I expected. The offer was made, the guns were worth more than I had in the boat, so a deal was done.聽馃槈

The Ruger was gone fairly quickly in a deal for something else. I still have the Colt and will never part with it.聽馃憤

What trades have you made for GUNS/AMMO but you didn't use guns or ammo to trade with?

I just used a PC/Desktop Id made some mods to and traded for an AR15

You came out on top of that deal.

I traded another TGO'er some photoshop work for an EOtech lens cover once. Not exactly a direct trade. He posted that he was having problems with the labels for his honey jars, so i just fixed it for him. Later on he posted his GG&G cover and when i responded he just gave it to me. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

P.S. I hope that honey farm is doing well!

I declined, buy a guy on here once offered me a fainting goat for something I had for sale here.馃槀

That's a strange offer, but I'd be tempted, LOL. I've always wanted one of those goats.

I'm like that Ford dealer in Lebanon. I'll trade for anything that don't eat!

I've been looking for a new rifle lately. Been talking to a friend of mine who owns a gun store about it.聽

I texted him the other day and asked if he ever took any trades. He replied "It depends on what it is."

I sent him a text back that just said "Wife馃ぃ"

Now I think this is where I shot myself in the foot: He asked "Can she cook?" I of course replied "Sure enough, but she nags."

Dang it! I never did get a good rifle that day. I thought if Bearclaw could do it on Jeremiah Johnson I could do it too. Oh well.聽

I traded a Nintendo Wii for a 1980鈥檚 Ruger 22/45. Then traded the Ruger 22/45 plus cash for a Great Dane puppy. 聽I should have kept the 22/45 because that dog was terrible!聽
