My Current Trade is: 3 Boxes of Tech for an Off the Grid Lifestyle I traded the WONDERboom private rock concert with Rene and Nina for 3 boxes of gear and gadgets – lots of goodies that will take you off the grid! (READ more about this here). Here’s what I’m offering: >>DOWNLOAD the PDF of all the tech in these 3 boxes here Change your stagnant, office-bound life for a more mobile, flexible lifestyle with these three bundles of gadgets (all tech in…
Yesterday I had a client session at Raizcorp (thanks to this update!), and then to avoid loadshedding at my home office, I worked at one of the hotdesks there and bumped into Allon Raiz. He showed me the new office wing he’s been buildling and that led us to look for what I could trade with him as our final trade. And it turns out to be office furniture! ha! So now I start strategising to work backwards from the…
So that meeting was today! And it was with Allon Raiz. And he offered me office space to help startup entrepreneurs in Raizcorp! We are finalising the details and our trade, but it is going to happen and it will be epic! Yayy! Yayy! Let’s go tell everyone! I’m just so excited!!

I’ve been working for months on the Concept Document for my “onematchstick office” and how it can help startup entrepreneurs overcome the fear of failure. And I have identified who I’d love to trade with, as my future landlord. Yesterday I sent THE email to this person!! #soexcited Now I wait for a reply… In the meantime, if you would like to see the Concept Document, get in touch! You’ll be the first to know when I get a reply…
After my 8th trade I ended up with a party of the century, with DJ Al. I got 2 offers for the party before I traded – one for cash, the other was a tweet from Eric asking how many of his designer Tshirts would it take for him to get the party. 117 days after that tweet, I woke up at 2am with an idea that lead to me shaking Eric’s hand and meeting Eran – the two behind…
After finishing my epic 2 year 1 month and 18 day long Springleap T-shirt trade on 22 September 2011 – I had some recouperating time (and delays in getting my final cash lumpsum from Springleap! Remember – they facilitated the trade between me and the 216 people I traded the Tshirts with). I then called up Cito in Janary 2012 and asked if he and WONDERboom would like to be a part of onematchstick. After a few days he and the band came back…
I got 34 offers for the hot air balloon flight, and the list included: websites, graphic design services, SEO services computers, phones dental work! Yes a whole jaw reconstruction paintings a collector’s coin and a stamp a solar geyser photo shoot dinner and cash (again! Ranging from R500 to R2000). I had the most fun on the 702 interview receiving offers, and after researching so many of the offers, I decided to trade with DJ Al Your Pal (he’s now…
My sixth trade ended up being for R3000 cash. I was reluctant to trade for cash, but Gaynor and Gerald insisted that they only had money to offer, and I thought then that it might be an interesting experiment. Also, I hadn’t had another offer that seemed right for the holiday. I had been offered a box of matches (haha!), another bottle of alchohol, Juvio software, and a jar of jelly beans. So then when the two people I traded…
So in 98 days I turned the matchstick into a holiday! Claire tell’s the story of how our trade came about so well in our recap. And I was surprised to hear that the two people who got the holiday, didn’t ever take up the holiday! Ha! For the wine, I had been offered : a local flight in South Africa, an electric frying pan, and a carpet (that turned out to be a biological experiment in fungi growth!). And…
