    Trading and Selling Prizes

    I have seen a prize I would buy from someone, but seriously...why would I send a couple of hundred dollars out and trust that I will get something in return? Do any of you actually do this? What sort of experiences have you had if so?

    Thanks!

    If you aren't sure, maybe you could use Paypal.  That is a convenient way to purchase something and may provide you with a greater sense of security. 

    I have exchanged GCs with several members and had a very positive experience each time.  I have not purchased anything from another member.

    One member gave me their Cinemark GC (no places that accepted it in their area) and I offered something in return.  They insisted that they did not want anything in return.

    Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.
