Trade 42: Floor Lamp for Candle and 2 Tokens

I’ve needed some extra illumination in my apartment for years. I decided to brighten things up with a lamp:

Yes, that cheap IKEA lamp on the bottom there. What did I exchange for it?

One scented candle (which I got for free in a marketing promotion), and two tokens (which came from Trade #3. So effectively, I got the lamp for loaning out my copy of OS X, i.e. for free).

Here’s the lamp:

As it turns out I hardly ever use this lamp—I wound up getting a different area lamp off of Craigslist that I prefer.

Maybe I’ll re-trade this at some point. Psychologically it felt like the lamp only cost me a token, because I had scheduled the next trade for the exact same time and place...
