One Enameled Keyring

Anyone hear the story about how a man traded his way up from one red paperclip to a house?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5167388.stm

I thought it would be interesting to see if we could do something similar here. When I say similar I don't mean in actual trades but virtual ones. If you have something in your possession that you would swap for the item below, make me a (virtual) offer.

This picture is of something that has been sat on my desk for ages - a keyring from a trade show that was advertising a printing and embroidery business. Nicely produced with an enamaled pendant with an image of a white T-Shirt on a magenta background.

What are you willing to trade for it?

The only conditions are for anyone wanting to do a trade with me must upload a picture of something that actually belongs to them and that you would swap it if we were to meet face to face. I'm not really interested in the value so the more interesting the item the better.

Why to get the feeling that this thread will end on page 1?

A house.

My country - take it please, I don't want it any more, it's gone to rack and ruin and beyond.

Something I own that I'd be willing to swap for a key ring that by the looks of it doubles as a supermarket shopping trolley token.... Mmmmm... let me think... oh yes... you can have this....

20 years old... the brain has been very rarely used and I'm sure you could find a use for him because I can't....

I like the colour of your walls!

Thank you. It's the third time they've been that colour... we've had a very leaky pipe that has twice bought the ceiling down. I'm now on first name terms with the painter sent by the insurance company.

Anyway... anyone want the boy?

Your country? Do you have a receipt? I need to see a photograph of taken from a jaunty angle.

I can't say because I can't see an image of him or your walls...whatever colour they are.

Have a look now... it should be working...

When I read the first post of this thread I thought it was a good idea. But it has descended in chaos already. I consider this thread officially ruined. >_<

Ok *sensible face*
For your one Enameled Keyring, I offer you:

Ah, yes. Thanks for that.

Very nice colour walls for sure. Unfortunately I have no storage for the human element so on this occasion I must decline.

One porcelain cat.
Very pretty. Very pointless.

Yeah, I'll go with that - consider it traded.

What would someone like to trade to acquire this delightfully pretty and obviously pointless porcelain cat?

Mummy said to offer this !

I'm not that keen on the cat but I'm willing to trade for this key ring.
