What was the greatest trade you ever made?

[J.B.]

I peaked at a young age. Back in the 5th grade, I traded my Hostess chocolate donut for Tracy Spilotro's HydroCopter. The kid must have been seriously jonesing for a damn donut that morning.

I traded a tin toy robot for an hour long back and neck massage

Hey, you can't make this stuff up

[Blue Meanie]

Mint Captain Action Buck Rogers laser gun and belt for a Removable Mask Robin Mask less the elastic strap.

[The Batman Professor]

Got the Ideal Joker handpuppet for a Superman Soaky. Guy was so into Soaky he had no idea how High I was willing to go for that puppet, and he jumped on my first offer.

I acquired all the pieces less the cowl, for my Batgirl via trades. They were fair trades but the pieces i traded were extras that I paid little or nothing for. It took a while, but it was fun . . .

back in 3rd or 4th grade traded a single (and very common) He-man for the 24" Dragun Shogun Warrior

Back in the before time, in the long long ago.... Superboy TV series on VHS on something like 20 tapes, taped from TV (long before dvd box sets were a thing) for an Apex DVD player (the rare one that had the sneaky menu that allowed you to remove macrovision and change the region coding)

[BENDY]

traded 6 playing mantis dr evil for mint boxed kenner alien

[Marvelmania]

Back in 1990 I traded a guy an Akeem Olajuwon autograph for a Fleer Michael Jordon rookie card in nm shape.

Wasn't me it was my son. At his second grade student open house I was approached by a parent. She asked me if I could stop my son from selling her son pinecones and rocks. Evidently he was spending his lunch money on shiny rocks and pinecones that my son would pick up on his way to school. Not wanting to show disrespect for our capitalistic retail economy, I proceeded to state that the issue was obviously not with my son but with hers, and his obvious lack of purchasing knowledge. This resulted in a few hours of non communication with my wife. Upon returning home I found out he had been supplementing his lunch time dessert purchases from his side business profits. We shared numerous high fives, outside the view of my wife of course. I looked into opening a chain of rock and pinecone kiosks, on playgrounds across the nation, but marketing tests and surveys showed the market had changed and the opportunity had been missed. I'm pretty sure the kid probably filled up on paste at craft time and felt his money could be better spent.

Back in the 1970's I traded a Mego Aquaman for a Mego Tarzan.

I traded about 25-30 carded Toy Biz X-Men figures for a mint Mego Carded Robin. When it arrived it turned out to be a Kresge carded Robin - something the owner failed to mention or didn't know. I still have it.
