Drum roll please,

I have had my first offer of a trade. I received the following comment last night:

The saying "Money for old rope" comes from the days when people would actually want the rope that a hangman had used. Gruesome. So as to maximise his proft the hangman would cut the rope into smaller lengths to sell it off. So, I am prepared to make the first exchange by offering a pair of scissors. This way if you get a few good offers you could have more than one bid going by cutting up the rope first. By the way the scissors will have to be a blunt craft pair so as to protect people who are not old enough to be using scissors. Not sure how easy they will cut through your old rope. Well, that's my offer, take it or leave it. A blunt pair of craft scissors for a piece of the old rope.

I like it, it is educational, interesting and relevent. I hope that the person that left this message will email me with their details so we can trade, you can do this via my profile on the right hand side. Hopefully I can then report back my first trade. Hooray.
