Bigger an' Better!

I know this may seem rather odd, but I am on a quest for something bigger and better. I've been on Gaia for a while now and have done my fair share of quests, but I've grown board of just trying to get that one specific item. I want to try something new. I am going to start with one sunflower and I hope to trade it for something that is worth a little more. And than I am going to trade that for something that is worth a little more. And so on. The item should be worth a little bit more than the last item, but not to much (i.e. - trade an ink for the sunflower, not an OMG or something like that). I have no idea what I might end up with. Currently all I am trading for is items. I'm not sure I want to do art IOUs and trading for gold sort of defeats the purpose of this.

This is inspired by the game Bigger and Better, where you start with a single paperclip and try to trade it for something bigger and better. Also, by One Red Paperclip (started with a paperclip and got a house!).

Rules
-Trades should only be for items.
-I have right not to accept trade.
-Be nice to one another.
-Follow the ToS.
-Have some fun! Stay and chat!
-This is not a charity thread. So don't beg, please. If you would like a donation, go to my other thread.

Updates
April 10, 2007: Added free art offer (see 4th post)
March 6, 2007: thread reached 2500 posts!
November 10, 2006 - Thread created!

Chairty

Check out the Cheap @$$ Charity! That's where this list will live on!

Since I'm not questing for gold, I think I might give some of it away. If you want to donate gold, this is where it will go.

Rules:
Don't PM me. This will be random. Most of the gold is coming out of my own pocket.
