Someday, we should organize a Burner Exchange Event at a park or something. Yes, I know that there have been a few Burner Wardrobe Exchange events here in the LA area, but perhaps expand that idea a bit to include everything folks might want to exchange or dispose. Anything left over could be gifted or donated to an appropriate charity or cause.

Basically a big fancy stainless steel food warmer for up to 3 different food items. Sort of like a home version of when you go to those assembly-line Indian or Chinese places, point and say "I want some of that, and some of that." And they scoop some out for you, using a big metal spoon. It's pretty big: the box (unopened) standing on its end, is nearly as tall as my legs (and I have long legs). It's a nice item; but I have nowhere to store it and I don't entertain large numbers of people that often--and I especially don't cook 3 dishes for one party! I also have: a GPS unit for an automobile, complete with dashboard mount (cause apparently windshield suction cup is illegal in CA). It's brand new in box. I just won't use it. I do fine with my Thomas Guide, or sometimes MapQuest. Plus my car already got broken into, even when I had nothing of value in it. I mean, you can take the GPS with you, but I don't always have pockets, and I hate purses. I will also soon be receiving my second iPod little mini speaker system (apparently I'm receiving two this year, from family members who don't always communicate with each other) so I could barter one of them. Open to barter suggestions! I especially want a few things for Burning Man: a bike rack (to mount on the trunk of my car); shade structure/easy up (one that would survive dust storms); and/or a really nice set of goggles/dust mask. (the Home Depot dust masks are starting to drive me crazy.) Or a nice set of metal solar lanterns. Or if someone has a paint sprayer and could help me touch up the exterior of my house, that'd be great too. Now, post your own barter suggestions here!!

Some of my relatives don't know me maybe quite as well as they'd think.; and so I ended up with some holiday presents that I really won't ever use. Giving them back the items for return/exchange would likely only hurt their feelings. Selling them on eBay is a hassle and no guarantee of success; plus you have to ship the item. There's always Craigslist, but.....burners like to barter, don't we? So, waste not, want not....one person's unwanted stuff could be another person's treasure, no? Post your items here that you'd like to put up for barter! And since we're all LA Burners....no shipping! I will return to post my own items here later because my awesome Burner girlfriend just got here!
