So if your low in cash and need something, but you have some materials..


And basicly its just fun.
That and cool to have more stuff made from other craftsmen.

I'll trade you a slightly used rivetted mail camail.

I need to make your bed first Cedric.

Hi there, I have a few stakes up for sale in another thread, Id consider trades for something worth about the same.

thank you

I couldn’t agree more. I am always up for trades for banners, gonfalons and such! As a matter of fact I am in the market to upgrade my kit to some hidden armor and 16th century gear. Let me know if anyone’s interested in a trade of some sort.

I've got an SCA helm made by Jackie that's not getting used (a steppe type with brim) that I'll swap for a decent pocketknife or something else useful -- and if you're local, I've got a joiner and a powerwasher that are in good shape but have to leave my garage, for which I'd take a VERY light trade in order to get it gone while enabling somebody else to have a nice Christmas.

Well get busy, buddy!



(Actually, my wife has some things she wants to talk to you about the bed before you get started on it.. so THIS time it's a good thing you haven't gotten started yet. Oh, and when can I deliver this forge to you?)

What is the value about, so if we wanted to trade we would know what to shoot for? Do yo have any extra plates? I'm 5'11, is this way out of possibilty fro me?

I paid for the plates about $250, the leather say $40, the stainless for the shoulders I had some scrap laying around so say little under $300?? I have about 26 extra plates and to change the size would mean removing the rivets form the leather linning...

Ill have a shield Blank ready to be cut out tomorro.
For up to a 30 inch round. Or other flat style shield I guess.
If anyones interested.

Not looking for anything in paticular but would like to see what ya make.
Stuff to improve camp, Maybe loaner gear ect ect.
Really anything is possible..

I've countless trades my armour for "stuff" on this site and others. It's great fun. cheers

Rasper, I will see if I have anything that fits the bill for that shield, any chance you might want some hockey gear? I have once-worn elbows and girdle, they just were too hot for me. I have other stuff as well, but that could be ready for immediate departure. I need some shields for putting my arms on anyway, and for some display/art/A&S ideas I have.

Sextus, I don't have anything in that ballpark right now, but I will keep it in mind!

Owen

Have a Nodachi/Odachi (never was sure what it was called) I might be willing to trade....

http://imagehost.vendio.com/bin/imagese ... 198201.JPG

Not it, but looks exactly like that. Bout 61-63 inches, sharp...entertaining offers on just about anything.

Other than the 12 rolls of hockey tape I just orderd,, nope no real use for hockey stuff:) But we could figure something else out im sure.. never know.

Helm's traded.

just to jump on this thread - couple of items to trade here...

http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=107100

If anybody has a type XIIIa blade, I've been hoping for a trade for years, with no success.

I would be willing to make inkle woven trim for a new set of all leather sca legal arms. I have access to and can weave silk, linen, wool and cotton some of which in period colors.

I'd love to trade

barter is great. I've done it on here a few times

as far as non SCA stuff

i'd trade for mil surp and mundane camping stuff, ammo, mags, solid flashlights, wool socks ect ect. I'd even trade for guns, but it would have to be an FTF transfer to be legal. Snow shoes, snow boots,

I'd also barter for canned good, other shipabel food items.
Tools .

Clothes and shoes for a 6 year old boy and a 1 year old girl.

I got a bunch of clothes for Rory from folks on the archive. Many of them are now clothing other peoples children as she outgrows them.


I'd also trade for WWII stuff
and 14thcentury LH level clothes.
I'm good on most armour, edged stuff and SCA weapons. But i'd entertain trades of high end stuff. Albions, nice helmets and such.

You know
The stuff i wanna buy with the money anyway

Right this minute? i need $$ though.

Bills due soon.

ya know JT

maybe we could start a "barter or $$" board off the Want ads section

Im kinda looking at going to Leather Elbows and vambrace combo as well.

I have a bunch (35 is they are all still in the box,) fiberglass combat archery (SCA) arrows, with the OLD style baldar blunts mounted on them.. all they _should _ (unless rules have changed more, I haven't followed them in a while,) need to be shooting legal is putting an APD on each of them.

I'd consider trading for some rattan poles, something armor-wise, SCA fighting type stuff.


Val

Anyone interested in my trade?? I am not looking for money, just thought someone might need a shirt and have something that was close in value to trade with... I dont use it anymore and I would like to have find a good place to be used as well as help me out with my kit. What I am looking for is..

Pair of Roman Boots
Possible hidden arm armor
Some nice Tunics or possible a nice garb for my Lady
Roman Cloak, Focale
Nice embossed Boss for the new shield I am making

I will happily trade silk banners for 14th century stuff.

Isabella, early or late 14th? I think Gaston made you some early 14th cops...you want some tooled leather shinbalds, vambraces or rerbraces to go with those? I could use a banner for my 14th cent. portrayal or a silk dragon windsock for my 6th century kit.

Wants:
windsock banner
14th cent. heraldic banner
riveted camail
long, leaf-bladed spearhead
2 wooden x-chairs with backs
line-art of a wolfhound's head in profile
Roman boots for SCA combat

Curved birch plywood shields with linen/gesso facing and metal edging covered with rawhide. Your choice of shape up to 24"x48".
Tooled, dyed and hardened (glue and baking, no wax) leather armour.

What are you looking for in trade? I'm not too set up at the moment to do much creating, if a few weeks I will be. Otherwise I would be interested in just paying cash for 'em.
