Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

This week’s assignment from the League: Trading Post

league trading post

This week’s topic for the League of Extraordinary Bloggers comes to us from Kevin at Team Hellions. I’m not sure how it’s going to work out but I’m excited to see the results…

—

League trading post.  Post an item (or items) you want to trade or sell. 

—

With any luck, we’ll get a few fun transactions among League members and others–or, this might just fail miserably–but let’s find out!

REMEMBER!: The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

league logoOnce you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Next Monday, I will put up a post here on Cool & Collected with a list of all the contributing blogs. Once that list is posted, if you haven’t already done so, try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote on your site.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    I have a great Katniss Barbie from The Hunger Games but I want something really cool in return. How do we deal with hurt feelings? I just have two of these and want something equally as cool in return. Hopefully from someone who knows the Cave of Cool and would know what I would really like.

      Put up a post and say you’re looking to receive offers for money or trade and see what happens. Maybe someone in the League (or elsewhere) is dying for that Katniss figure! We’re not running a blind trade here, that would probably be disastrous for most.

      Glad to see you with a website Jon! We share an interest in vintage Batman items. I’d love to see your collection sometime.

        Well, I do have a couple of other blogs, but I feel like they don’t fit in here very well. They are picture heavy, almost wordless. Here is some of my Batman collection. I don’t have pics of everything.

        This is my other blog with mostly non-toy related collectibles.

    Here is a link to my post. I don’t have much but a few random figures and some GI Joe butts and guts. I am hoping I can add a few more items before the week is over.

    Well I may have just squeaked in under the wire, but I DID manage to post one before it was completely too late… AND I made it match my theme for the week! Anybody like collectible games?
