Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am talking about the Top 10 scary Items traded
on the Internet - trading goes back as far as human history – and there have been some
crazy trades over the years – we are just focusing on the internet for this video topic,
but I want to know what the craziest trade you have ever made is ! Let me know in the
comments section below and also leave a thumbs up on this video!
Before we get into the video I want to talk about our video sponsor for today – BUNZ!
I use the bunz app all the time and it is great for building community!
I live in Toronto where the bunz community is alive and thriving and it is also active
in loads of other cities across the world.
Bunz is all about trading and started up as a trading space.
On the app you can post items that you don’t want any more and exchange them for items
that you do!
For example on Bunz I exchanged an old plant pot for a bikini!
Fun….with BUNZ.
Also Bunz have their own currency, so if you have something you want to exchange but you
aren’t seeing something you want to swap for – people can pay you in BTZ, which you
can then use in local businesses – I use all of mine at local breweries…cheers to
that.
If you live in a place where bunz isn’t active yet then you can be a leader and start
the trading community in your area for yourself!
It’s a global movement and it is only a matter of time until Bunz is part of your
life….
You can swap things that no longer bring you joy for things that do!
Download our unique Bunz link which you can find in the description box to get started!
Beware though – there are some quirky things up for trade!
Which brings us back to our video
So let’s start this list off with creepy items you can find on BUNZ itself…..10 - we
have creepy doll head candles - Like …. Who, how, why?
Who wants a wax dolls head – you can watch its face melt while it smiles at you?
I’m not in the market for judgment but I have to say owning this candle treads a verrrrrryyyyy
fine line between eccentric and super creep….although I guess it would make for a great Halloween
prop.
If you are the right kind of supercreep then this waxy head is still available on BUNZ
and can be yours for 2000 BTZ…
Also available on Bunz we have this COW SKULL - 9
Bones.
Bones for trade.
Legitimate bones.
I find this oddly unsettling… but also weirdly cool in a Georgia O’Keefe kind of way.
I am not sure what you could offer up for trade for this decapitated cows head, but
the woman who listed is looking for something in the value of $120.
Maybe you could offer up a rabbits foot, or an alternative dismembered animal limb.
This cow head on BUNZ reminds me of a COW chair I once saw on the trading site Ebay!
I am going to Segway into that bovine beast at number *
8 - COW CHAIR What a better place to park your hide….
I honestly can think of a lot of chairs I would rather sit on than a cow bone throne
but I am a soft humble vegetarian.
Maybe Gaston of beauty and the beast would like it though – as we well know he uses
Antler’s in all of his decorating, maybe he would like to branch out with an accent
chair?
Anyway the cow bone throne seller, based in Pittsburgh, was looking for $375 bucks for
their chair.
The description says that the seat is 43" tall by 38" wide, made of real cow bones,
is in excellent condition and is …I quote….comfortable in a weird sort of way.
The also claimed…
Everyone loves to sit in it and so will you.
Sure sure sure!
Not an internet trade but a scary trade that I really wanted to mention, at number 7 we
have Alligator for Beer
Would you rather have beer on an alligator?
For me…
I’d much rather have a lovely cold beer that a snappy wee killer!
One man in Miami Florida felt much the same in December 2013 and walked into a beer store
to demand a 12 pack of beer in exchange for the dangerous reptile . It seems that plucky
entrepreneur had captured the gator from a local swamp and trapped the 4ft beast in a
box before taking it to a convenience store.
The best part about the whole thing was that it was caught on CCTV camera so you get an
idea of what trying to trade a live gator for alcoholic beverages looks like.
He then later attempted to sell the animal outside the store but got no takers - he was
later arrested by police.
NOW we are talking at number 6 - 35 Kilos of Parmesan for a car
This is my kind of trade… although I have to say, I would much prefer the cheese.
Ehren Thompson went viral on facebook when he posted he would like to trade the wheel
for something he has more use for, like a car or a laptop.
It seems Mr Thompson was gifted the 35 kilos of cheese….which actually to be fair is
an insane amount of cheese!
That is like….
70 percent of what I weigh or something like that!
A MASSIVE cheese… this isn’t just any cheese, it is a Parmigiano Reggiano fit to
feed an army.
In his post he said that the cheese would have cost $2100 in Woolworths…which still
seems like a thing in Australia.
When he spoke to the Daily Mail about his prospective trade he said he didn’t want
to say where the cheese came from as it would ruin the mystique…apparently.
If I had a car, I’d give it him for over half my weight in cheese.
5 - Soul in exchange for Free VIP Tickets Sell your soul to satan in exchange for tickets
to the annual international black mass and satanic orgy?
SURE….
Whatever floats your boat!
Website Necronomi is a website set up to encourage people to sell their souls to the dark lord
and they offer up a number of package options.
The site says Satan takes great pleasure in serving his customers the most tempting delights
imaginable.
One of those delights, it seems, is the annual orgy where you can , I quote, be a celebrity
guest at the most exclusive and fun party in the world.
Movie stars, rock musicians, champions of industry, religious leaders, witches, vampires,
and politicians mingle with famous (and fascinating) demons like Astaroth, Baal, Lilith, Belial,
Azazel, Marchosias, and Gumby.
At midnight, the throats of thirteen virgins from a diversity of third world countries
are slit, and the participants disrobe to fornicate amidst oceans of silk pillows and
goblets of wine mixed with virgin blood.
What a party.
A murderous illegal party that needs to be intercepted before more innocent virgins are
sacrificed.
Sorry to be a buzz kill!
4 - Disney tickets for Illegal Act This is downright despicable It seems that
in 2015, a former Disneyland employee tried to exchange free tickets to the magic kingdom
for a sex exchange using craigslist.
27 year old Darreck Michael Enciso attempted to meet a 14 year old girl – saying he would
arrive with condoms and Disney tickets.
How disgusting.
He didn’t realize he was communicating with an undercover officer who arrested him . It
seemed he had posted several ads on craigslist trying to pedal the tickets.
Disneyland fired him immediately.
3 - Humans The internet, as we know, can be a dark and
ugly place and these days a lot of human trafficking occurs on the internet.
This is usually conducted using untraceable currencies like Bitcoin and happens on the
dark web.
There is an article on Vice about how one of their journalists was conducting some research
on the internet and they came across a listing for trafficked girls – they even came across
a woman named Nicole who was for auction, starting at 150 thousand dollars.
I guess we don’t need to go into too much detail here – an awareness it is happening
and that it needs to stop and that humans should never be up for trade will suffice.
It may not sound as dramatic but our number two is something that most of us do every
single day without an awareness of what we’re exchanging and its true value
2 - Free Social Media for Personal Data You may not realize this, but most people
watching will have entered into an unwitting terrifying exchange – the free use of social
media apps in exchange for your personal data.
Anyone remember facebook selling the information of 50 million users to the Trump Campaign?
Many of us are also convinced our phone s are listening to us and using clever marketing
to advertise things we have talked about to us on social media.
But like… how else are they using our data and who else are they selling it too.
I wanted to end this list off in a happy way because ultimately I do think trading is great!
At number one we have the BEST TRADE in history….and it involves swapping an afternoon with Alice
Cooper for a snow globe
Okay, no, sure, this may not be the scariest story in the list but it is the absolute best
story… it Is actually one of the best stories that I have ever heard so listen up to hear
how one man started with a giant paperclip and ended up with a house….and yes, the
story involves Alice Cooper and a snow Globe.
So this is Kyle Macdonald.
In exactly a year he managed to conduct 14 internet trades that resulted in him being
handed the keys to his own home….and beyond that, he had an awesome story to tell, a story
he turned into a book Kyle started with a paperclip, which he swapped for a novelty
fish pen, which he swapped for a handmade door knob, which then got him a camping stove,
which he swapped for a generator, then a keg of beer with a neon sign, which is when things
got bigger as he swapped that for a snowmobile, which was swapped for a trip to Yakh, which
was swapped for a van, which was amazingly swapped for a record deal, after which he
was offered a year rent free in Phoenix Arizona, which he traded for an afternoon with Alice
COOPER…which oddly he traded for a snowglobe, which seems like a slight on Mr Cooper….
Then that snowglobe was traded for a role in a hollywood movie, which was then traded
for a house in Kippling!
How INCREDIBLE ! The power of trading, this is what I love…which brings me back to BUNZ
