Now we're rolling... I was able to secure a trade for the Anchorman DVD for a home beer brewing kit. I'm going out of town starting tomorrow through Thursday, and I wasn't able to meet up with my confirmed trading partner in time for my trip, but I will conduct the swap next week when I return. Based on a quick Google search, I'm looking at a value for the brew kit for anywhere between $20 and $60. Not bad for a $5 DVD!
I am going to be under the gun to perform Trade Four next weekend so I can stay caught up with the class, but I have a feeling it's going to be a bit easier from here on out.
Is Craigslist a cop out? I don't think so... You still need to find a way to articulate value for the product you're trying to sell. I used pity to offload the DVD, but I'll need to be more creative next time. Before the end of the assignment, I would like to be able to perform the trade without actually sharing that I'm doing it for a class. Hopefully my sales "skills" will have elevated by that point.
