You could also do some hauling for us in return for stock or access to go hunting, fishing, camping, we will not be insulted by your offers. Email us with your surplus materials. We may be able to make trades. Since our trucks go all over the East Coast, we can deliver our stock and pickup your items.

We have registered with the Pa Dept. of Environmental Resources as a place where you can drop off your unwanted items such as old tools, tractors, plumbing and construction supplies, farm implements, fencing materials, usable nuts and bolts.... well you have the picture, things we can use around our farms. If we can't use them maybe we can send it on to someone else that can???? We are always looking to trade nursery stock and seedlings for your surplus. Email us with your surplus materials.

I once put an ad in the paper that said, "If it's free it's for me". I had to stop the add because I collected so much stuff. Ads do work. The problem with this ad was it was not specific enough to target what I was looking for. Over time and years I then started to swap and barter the free stuff that I got for things I really wanted. I had hundreds of broken lawn mowers and hundreds of gallons of old unwanted paint. I had enough paint to dip a house if needed. Disposal now became an issue. Thus I came up with the idea of trading and barter.

Now I did not invent this wheel but I had enough of them that it appeared I might have. So barter has become a means of swapping and exchanging my surpluses for other people's surpluses. Since I am in the nursery business I also have plants that are surplus. I may plant 1000 trees expecting to need 1000 and find that I have 500 more than what I need. So offering these trees on the web for barter has been an effective means to move dormant inventory. Besides this is a great way to meet new customers. When they have surpluses and I can move their dormant stock, we both win. Here is a sample ad that I ran on my web site seedlingsrus.com :

Yes, I think my 86 year old father is becoming a squirrel. He collects just about anything. He has trouble walking so I have him doing his favorite job, separating and sorting nuts ( yes...nuts) and bolts and stray hardware we find around the farm. I would mix up what he has already sorted but he checks for that. He remembers just about each and every unusual item we bring him. He also knows where we store these items so hence I'm asking you.... did you have a relative like this....did you end up with piles and coffee cans of nuts and bolts and misc hardware that had to be saved and now can be reused by another old timer? If so, please email me so that we can get together. I would like to have those cans and buckets of odd ball items to keep my father busy. I will give you some plants from my nursery if you would bring the things to us. We are near Doylestown. My father would love to chat with you as well. Thank You, A Chipmunk..
