I have a copy of John Williams' "Learn to Play the Irish Button Accordion" which I don't particularly need to hang on to. If anyone wants to have it, I will happily send it to someone who can offer either the most interesting trade for it, or the best case for why I should send it to them. Overseas postage, of course, will have to be justified by an extra-good story or swap. (I'm in Oregon, in the states).
I could, of course, simply sell it, but this seems like it might make for better craic. Pleadings may come to me via email, unless you're feeling particularly public about your need for this video. (which is quite good, by the way - I'm moving and getting rid of stuff)
Oh, I think you should force people to do it publicly, so we can watch the debacle. And then it could become thesession.org's official white elephant...
Or maybe you could chronicle the whole thing for a book, like the guy who traded up a paperclip for a house (http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/)

No such luck on the big trade idea, but I have found a home for the video. In case anyone was working up their big story, you're too late!
