More and more im seeing trades happen and it totaly Rocks!
Usualy you can save money
You get something kickass that you would have paid for anyways.
Its period in every time period.
Also gets your stuff out there to be seen.
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.
At least I think so.

This is a shirt lamellar for a 5 foot to 5'8" possibly. They are made of aluminum and the linning is latigo that has been riveted. Shoulders are 18 gauge stainless with lion accents...

Anyone interested in a trade??

I couldnâ€™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 anyoneâ€™s interested in a trade of some sort.

Russ Mitchell · Post by **Russ Mitchell** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 11:00 am

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?

Sextus Maximus · Post by **Sextus Maximus** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 2:35 pm

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...

Rasper77 · Post by **Rasper77** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 2:53 pm

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

owen matthew · Post by **owen matthew** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:25 pm

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!

Rasper77 · Post by **Rasper77** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 3:39 am

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

Bellringer · Post by **Bellringer** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 12:56 pm

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.

Murdock · Post by **Murdock** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 1:05 pm

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.

Valstarr Hawkwind · Post by **Valstarr Hawkwind** » Wed Nov 04, 2009 4:00 pm

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.

Sextus Maximus · Post by **Sextus Maximus** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 9:26 am

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

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

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.

If your interested pm me. Thanks.
