2 years old! Wow! I'm having trouble coming to terms with the fact that I've been holding this trade-up race for this long and I'm excited to see what the next year has in store for each of the pennies. Patience and persistence have both played their roles in each of the trades and things can only get better from here. There's been ups and downs, highs and lows, and compliments and even insults. But through all of this, The Penny Race is still going strong. I'm reposting each of the items once or twice a week (but I try to wait at least 5 days in-between posts....I don't like seeing daily re-posters on Kijiji, it's a bit annoying).
Barter Kings came out this past year and has shown people a new way of getting the things they want. There's been an increase in other people's postings and I've even noticed numerous people having their own trade-up adventures....although very few of them are posting their journeys online. Too bad, I enjoy seeing how someone can start with something small and end up with something Bigger & Better and more valuable.
Twitter and Facebook followers and fans have increased, which makes me very thankful to all of the supporters that I've gained over the past couple of years, and because of the generosity of strangers, I've been able to take 3 little pennies and trade them up to items that are pretty unique and valuable. Thanks again to all of the Winnipeg businesses that have joined the race by making a trade with me....I love seeing the business communities show an interest in this journey. I'll continue to promote your businesses and if'/when I ever need anything that your business offers, yours will be my first choice.
Now for the best part....it's been a long time since I've offered up a bonus ITT (InCENTives To Trade), but I'm happy to say that, if any trades are accepted and traded for between today (Aug.29/2012) thru Sunday (Sept.9/2012) an additional 2% ITT will be added to your already earned percentage. There is one bonus for each item in the race. At this time, the landscaping/paving for Penny #1 is already being worked out for a trade, so this bonus will be applied to the next item and will have the same time duration applied to it for the bonus after it gets posted.
Bonuses come and go and there are only a certain amount of bonus percentages left to give out, so right now is a great time to make your offers for either the Vertical Adventures 1 year Pass or the 2-Way Radios. Keep updated with the trades by following on Twitter, Facebook, and through email updates. What over the next week to find out what the Landscaping labor has been traded for. Secure your spot in the race by making me an offer I can't refuse and earn yourself an addition 2% of the profits once the final item sells for cash.
By clicking the tabs at the top of the page, you'll be able to see what 3 items are currently in the race and available to trade. FAQ tab should answer some of your questions. If you have any other questions that can't be answered on the FAQ page, don't hesitate to email them to me and I will respond as soon as I can. Let's get these items traded and move onto the next items! The better the items become, the more money I can hand each of you at the end of the race, plus the donation size to Winnipeg Harvest will also increase. Thanks, Winnipeg!
