Okay, here's the deal . . .
FIRST GROUND RULE: If anyone gripes or whines, they get booted from Tradgang. Okay. I don't have that authority . . . but this is purely for fun like any white elephant gift exchange.
GROUND RULE #2: The item you send has to have SOME value. It may be a perfectly good item you no longer have use for or it may be something that is broken but repairable . . . or maybe it is only good for a decoration. As with any white elephant exchange, some will end up with something special and others will end up with . . .
GROUND RULE #3: You can only put your address on the thread once. No PM traffic, only public viewing.
GROUND RULE #4: You will send the person after you either what you received from the person before you or something entirely different. Please send it ASAP. If you decided to not wait for the gift sent you and you just want to send something to the next person, that's fine and will speed up the process.
GROUND RULE #5: You must tell at least one other tradganger about this.
You don't have to tell anyone what you are going to send, but to start the ball rolling, I'll tell you what I'm sending.
I have a longbow that was made poorly and has HUGE string follow. Somebody out there might really want an decoration or might want to repair it. I will send to the first one who gives me an address.
Somewhere down the road, I'll put my name on the list, but not for a while.
I presume some will be frugal and some will be generous . . . that's the way people are! That's also the fun of this pass along white elephant.
Soooooooooo . . . who wants to receive a wonderful longbow with some snakeskin backing and enough follow to look strung????
REMEMBER: THE FUN OF WHAT FOLLOWS IS THAT PEOPLE WON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING, BUT IN A WHITE ELEPHANT, IT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE . . .
