Built NY trading thread
4Someone asked about starting a trading thread in the revelations thread but I haven't seen one and thought it was a good idea.
I'll start. I am looking for a bunch of the Neoprene Sleeves that say they fit the latest generation of Kindle. I don't care what the pattern is. I will pay shipping plus an extra couple bucks for them if you want. I also want a few Slim Neoprene Sleeves that say they are for the ipad mini.
The only thing I am currently 100% that I can trade from my stash is my 16" laptop case. It is the flower/poppy pattern.

I have a bunch of Kindle cases and 11" macbook air sleeves, but I'm looking for a 13" macbook pro sleeve (or two).
@jdpmacav I know I have some 13" sleeves in my stash o' 60 & at least 2 are exactly alike. I"ll check and see what the exact specs are & get back on here to let you know. (PS -- Girl or Guy? I know some prints definitely wouldn't fly with most males.) ;)
@modmamajama Ok awesome. I'm a guy, but my girlfriend is also looking for one.
@jdpmacav I have three 13" MacBook/MacBook Pro sleeves, all the same pattern, which is navy blue with small dots that shade from one color to another from left to right. If you look for my post on the revelations thread (bit more than 1/2 way down, starts with my cross eyed Siamese sitting on the box) you will see the three as the second item in front from the left. I know someone looking for an 11" MacBook Air sleeve, so I'd be happy to trade you 1 for 1 or two of mine for one of yours plus some $.
@atravis6 Email me (my username at gmail) and we can work out the details. I'd be willing to trade one of my air sleeves for the MBP sleeve.
I like purple.
@atravis6 I'd love to get a 13" one. I have only kindles to trade though. Or that moscow mule cup.
That said -- I'm looking for anything Alexander Girard (please, oh please... I know I at least saw a few in the promo pics) & one of the larger DSLR camera bags, preferrably not black. (Not sure if they were ever part of the Meh melee in the first place, but thought it couldn't hurt to ask.) :)
(Off to look for any other trade mentions!)
EDIT: Cripes almighty... I just found both threads -- REALLY hoping the search feature on here is a good one, because I'll be here all day. Probably shouldn't have waited to open my boxes, eh? ;)
@modmamajama search feature here suuuuucks btw
Okay... I made it through the shorter thread & definitely have some neoprene envy -- poppies & organizers, oh my! -- but it was a fun experiment for $16 and I'd happily take the chance again and again... never know til you try, right? :)
On that note... thank you @Meh, for making my life a little less meh right now. Quite an undertaking that couldn't have been anything close to lucrative for you & yours, but much appreciated by at least me. <3
@modmamajama you're welcome
@chellemonkey, I have several Neoprene sleeves for the latest generation Kindle. 13 total. 7 in navy with large colored dots, 6 that are solid black with the Built logo. I have nothing for the iPad mini, though.
And thanks for starting the thread (:
@atravis6 @chellemonkey So how do I know if they are the "latest" generation Kindle? I am lusting over the 16" laptop sleeve, chellemonkey and I have "slim neoprene sleeves" with the following UPC codes:
1. Kindle & Kindle Touch 8 44983 01506 0
2. Kindle 8 44983 01505 3
3. Kindle Fire 8 44983 01360 8
4. Kindle Fire HD 7" 8 44983 01986 0
5. Kindle Fire HD 8" 8 44983 01992 1
@Pamtha I'll look when I get home. Mine said something like "compatible with latest generation Kindle" right below "Neoprene Sleeve"
@Pamtha

I probably won't need more than one of each, anyone who wants to swap, email me at mikibell @ the first 3 words of the scout oath .com, just cover cheapest shipping costs.
@mikibell making me google shit just to email you? shame shame. emailing shortly!
@chellemonkey sorry.. but it worked.. will get back to you soon :) Had to make a new id for mikibell to make you not have to spell my entire name -- same as yours though!
@mikibell Lucky that the Cub Scout and Boy Scout are the same for that part. We're bridging in 2 weeks (with "heavy shoulders" w00t!)
@Pamtha Girl Scouts too.. we are bridging in a month.. Been counting the days for 3 years!!! Now he is solely dad's responsibility.
@Pamtha email me at mikibell and you can have a 16" laptop cover for shipping costs.
@mikibell out of 16" inch covers ..@pamtha and another user claimed them..@ dinner and a movie with 7 cub scouts..will respond later :)
I like purple.
@Pamtha what do you think of these as gifts for my boys crossing over??? Unbias opinion requested:
@mikibell Those are gorgeous. I would question, though if the fresh Boy Scouts are going to wear an AOL neckerchief slide with their Boy Scout (not Cub) uniform? My pack does promotion and bridging together for AOLs. If we split it, that would be a fabulous gift as the boys could wear it while still an AOL. It is so pretty, though!!
@Pamtha True.. We do both at the same time, but I think until they earn Scout, they could wear them. The troops don't require a specific slide to wear.. thank you for the input!!! :)
@chellemonkey Your package is on its way :)
@pamtha Your package is on its way :)
@Pamtha My boys loved the neckerchief slides and they are wearing them proudly at their troop meetings!! I am so happy for them.
Finally got around to sorting through at least the first box, and I'm now of the opinion that I fared really well considering... and I should never let my hubby open boxes for me in the future. I was sick/on meds when they came in, so he quickly went through them for me -- but never again... I definitely missed a few things and found the experience so much more underwhelming than it actually turned out to be. ;)
Here are my contents of box #1, neatly sorted on a blanket that's covering up the mess beneath... lol. Some really nice Macbook cases... quilted, metal accents, etc. & even an iPad 2 back cover in the mix. Nice mix of prints, patterns and device options, too...
(Will be back when I can figure out how to properly post a pic... @@)
@modmamajama Are you looking for anything? Meaning... are there any devices in your home that still need a suitable neoprene sleeve / case / cover?
Damn -- I tried twice with no luck, and now I can't even edit my last attempt. Clearly, I suck.
@modmamajama you are not alone in this challenge -- it took me forever to figure it out, even following the directions :) Can't edit your post after 5 minutes elapse. Here is the page I found most helpful: https://meh.com/forum/topics/meh-style-guide-learn-how-to-post-good
@modmamajama Let's just try this for you…
@brhfl Thank you!! :)
@mikibell And thank you for the info -- love it when strangers go the extra mile just to make me feel less dumb... :)
@modmamajama I meant to say something with my post as well, but I had to run. G+ does not make it simple to get to the actual image file, it took some trickery to get that. Definitely not dumb on your part!
Shot in the dark here, if anyone wants to try to measure the interior dimensions of the 8.9" sleeve, or anything in that range, I'm looking for a sleeve to fit a 5.2x8.8" tablet. Thinner than a Fire (at least the ones I've handled), which might buy a little extra wiggle room. Interested in poppies, paisley, solid burgundy, purple polka dots. I didn't get in on this deal, so either I trade you some other weird shit, or some dollars.
@brhfl http://www.microcenter.com/product/408138/tablet_envelope_case_fits_lcd_screens_up_to_10_city_grid ? I have this one.
@brhfl the weird shit concerns me, but I have the purple dot version of the above, willing to trade for something interesting -- not kindle or ipad related OR a speakerdock :)
I like purple.
I'm going to be cutting up my neoprene to make coffee and tea cozies. Before I go crazy with the scissors, I need to make sure nothing I have is rare and likely to be wanted by somebody else.
I have the usual plethora of Kindle cases.
Other than that:
If anybody's desperate for these, let me know and we can work out a swap.
@madamehardy Sounds like you and I got a very similar variety. I have a boatload of Kindle Fire sleeves and cases/covers, a few for the normal Kindle (Paperwhite, Touch, etc.), and a couple iPad items. I have nothing for a 13" Macbook though, and that's kinda what I was hoping for.
@Crixus I have a 13" sleeve for MacBook or MacBook Pro.
@Pamtha Wow, that's a snazzy print. (I don't need it, just admiring.)
@madamehardy I know, and I got nothing to fit in it. :( I have a 15" laptop (Dell)
@Pamtha I fricking love that pink 13" sleeve. What do I have you might want? My pics over over the Revelations thread.
@madamehardy I want ipad mini case
@Pamtha That's a cool one, but I doubt I have anything you want, unless you are really into Kindle Fires or you have an unprotected iPad.
@Pamtha I would love that one! I would use it to store random things in. You said you had iPad cases? What kind? I have a 16" laptop sleeve, if you don't mind it a bit roomy.
@dangs Contact me at madamehardy at pobox.com!
I like purple.
@atravis6 I'd love the 16" sleeve. Be a bit big for a 15" laptop but better too big than to small. All I have to trade are black kindle cases and a moscow mule mug
I want ipad case.
@dangs There's tons of them on either this or the Revelations thread. I have UPC 844983015770
Detailed list can be found:

I would love to trade for a Kindle Fire HD 7" with Peace Symbols pattern
@chellemonkey I have 4 black and 9 big rainbow dot of the "latest gen"
@Odi It looks like you have a few ipad mini ones too? (purple polka dots and popppies maybe? they say "slim neoprene sleeve") I would take all of them if you would be willing to sell for shipping cost plus a few bucks extra. Email me at chellemonkey222 at that google mail system
I like purple.
@Odi I have the Kindle Fire HD 8" in the peace symbols pattern. Don't know how loose it would be...
@Pamtha Thanks, but I've got a trade going for the Fire HD 7" cover already :)
@Odi Hi there - What a great assortment! I'm buying a bunch for our school and library, so if you have any left over that you don't like / don't want, I'd be happy to cover shipping + cost + a bit extra if you'd like. you can email me at jeff van even hoven at gmail - no spaces, of course. Do you have any that you'd be willing to let go?
This is what I have left, first are the non kindle things, then the kindle stuff, including a list of what and how many of each. Don't really need more Built NY, but I could use 4, 8 or 16 gig flash drives or Memory cards - new tablet takes both. Or if you just really want something, let me know at teck matrix at gmail dot com.

Alright folks. I want the black envelopes if I can get enough of them for cheap. prefer the larger size but will take whatever I can get. Black with white dots also okay. I'm going to slap roller derby names on them as gifts for visiting skaters... or maybe for my leaguemates.
I like purple.
Hello all (too), assuming all of the envelopes go to roller derby athletes, I'm buying a bunch for our school and library, so if you have any left over that you don't like / don't want, I'd be happy to cover shipping + cost + a bit extra if you'd like. you can email me at jeff van even hoven at gmail - no spaces, of course – or reply to this email. DO you have any that you'd be willing to let go?
p.s. @mselizardbeth, I have some of the envelopes I could send your way.
@v I don't want to take anything that's going to a library! :)
