Give Me Your Old Crap!
I make pictures and sell 'em. But once in a while I get a chance to swap my pictures for things, and that makes me happy. I need, say, a new banjo more than I need an apartment full of pictures. I like to barter pictures for, like, stuff: musical instruments, household whatnot, nifty last-generation geek toys. I've swapped my pictures for a TiVo (holy CRAP! Thanks, Lisa!), guitars, guitar effects, a Palm doohickey and a couple of digital cameras, video games, a bike, acrylic and house paint, an iPod, and not one, but two Dell laptops. Holy cow, people are nuts.

Here's some stuff I'll probably spend money on at some point and frankly, would rather some nice person come to ye olde HQ here in Scottsdale, AZ with whatever and pick a bunch of favorites from the scads of pictures I have accumulating here, leaving lighter of load and cheerful of disposition. (This could also occur via good ol' US mail, and you could pick from what I have on the front page.)

So, then, here is

El Rey's List of Stuff I'm Looking Fer

• An iPod (any size/generation)
• Nintendo Wii
• A stand for a 10-gallon aquarium
• A 20-gallon (or more) aquarium + stand, goodies
• A comfy armchair or loveseat from a pet-free home
• An acoustic guitar, ideally a Big Baby Taylor, Baby Taylor, or Little Martin
• A weighted 88-key keyboard (MIDI controller only is OK)
• An Ikea JERKER desk or other standing desk with the desktop about 40" from the ground
• Kids, DDR, or karaoke games for PS2
• An Xbox, PS2, or Gamecube and games
• A smogged, driveable compact pickup truck, station wagon, or three-wheeled scooter van
• A Pocket PC or Palm handheld with 802.11b capability
• A digital camera, over 5 MP
• A PC video projector or LCD panel
• A 19" (or sure, bigger) LCD monitor
• A PC laptop, better'n PIII 1000Mhz, or a Mac iBook better'n 700
• Bulk coffee (I bet this is a surprise)
• An Oxygen 8 keyboard or other mini desktop MIDI controller
• Telecaster guitar parts or a beat-up old off-brand tele
• Biggish outdoor or smallish indoor or outdoor plants
• A Fender Pro Jr. guitar amp (tweed)
• A Peavey Classic 30 guitar amp
• Other little tube amps
• Danelectro baritone or bass guitars
• Drum machines/grooveboxes (Alesis SR-16; Boss DR-5; Korg Electribe EM-1, ES-1, EMX-1, ESX-1; Yamaha AN-200, RM1X)
• A cute little monkey, pref. housetrained
• What else y'got?

Generally, almost any kind of musical noisemaker is a good bet, but if you have any stuff kicking around that you want gone, try me!

Thanks!

El Rey
