Barter Exchange
What is barter or ITEX?
|
Peak Pools (an Raleigh ITEX member) is the worst person you could ever have fix anything related to pools or hot tubs. We have called him 6 times and he continued to say yes he would fix our hot tub. But I ended up with my broken hot tub parts at the local ITEX office in Raleigh, on Valentine's Day only to have ITEX call the Raleigh Police Department on me!! And you all lied to the police? I showed up wearing a suit and tie and it was Valentine's day. Seriously? Are you are retarded?
I video taped the entire "incident" to take with me to CIVIL Court when I end up suing you for multiple breaches of contract, and to accurate reflect the nonsense you have been putting Jamie through for the last 10 months.
MORE HEADLINE NEWS SHORTLY:
RONNIE GRAHAM OF ITEX IN RALEIGH IS DELIQUENT ON HIS WAKE COUNTY PERSONAL PROPTERY TAXES.
Ouch, that's embarrassing. So is your ITEX members raising a price of $750 by 250% in less than 24 hours to $1,800.

NO LONGER AN ITEX MEMBER. BUH BYE.

Well its June 23, 2011. It's 3:18 AM, and I'm leaving Atlanta here in a few hours. I'm leaving this trashy ass Days Inn, which I will NOT be filing a Better Business Bureau complaint on, don't worry I am not filing a complaint with ITEX because I don't have time to waste. The first two nights we stayed at the Hyatt Place and were amazed by the quality of the hotel, compared to this DUMP that makes me wish I had brought my Glock with me. But transporting protection across state lines, isn't so easy. I get out of this dump which I didn't want to look for cockroaches or bed bugs, because I am sure if I looked hard enough I probably could have found some and I really didn't want to find any bugs. I am sure since Atlanta is such a dirty city, you probably have a cockroach exterminator on barter somewhere. The Days Inn might want to look into that.
I think the photograph of the stain on the mattress says enough. We toured the whole city, well the important things anyway. We toured the CNN headquarters, the Atlanta Zoo, and .... I also checked out the Atlanta telephone book, whose headquarters are also in Atlanta, and found that there was no Atlanta Fence Company that offered a Lifetime Warranty. Go figure. It's hard to find good businesses these days. Guacamole on barter, $4.99. Seeing a child you care about smile, PRICELESS. FUCK YOU Ronnie Graham. Lol. Lets see, add my cousin and his daughter to the number of people I spent more barter money on. I was thinking about giving a bunch to charity, but I am not even sure how to go about doing that. ITEX's contract says if we don't spend the money, they are KEEPING it, and I can't believe anyone would think I would work and pay taxes on barter money for ITEX to end up with ANY of it. And I am not even sure if legally your bullshit contract that authorizes the theft of our hard earned money would hold up in court.

Tomorrow we are staying in Savannah, GA before heading down to Daytona, FL. I am paying CASH for that hotel room because I can't take the chance of staying in another ghetto ass hotel through ITEX. This ceiling/roof was amazing, I doubt it was glass, if I had to guess, it was probably some poly-flexible material or PVC or plastic or something. I wish I knew. Parking was $18, which is bullshit, but probably because they ain' t making as much off the rooms, since the economy is a dump, I understand. The Internet was $12 too, but $30 extra CASH for parking and Internet to not stay in a DUMP on barter, PRICELESS.

THANK GOD The Dream Inn in Daytona, FL is nice compared to that Dump Days Inn in Atlanta we stayed at. This place is GORGEOUS. These people care about their business, unlike other businesses. Its pouring rain outside. I got time to upload the photographs now.
HAHAHH The fucking roof is leaking in this joint and water is dripping into my floor from above, maybe they can get someone on barter to fix that. Don't worry, I don't need a photo to prove it, Jamie and Spencer both witnessed it. Besides, this place is COOL, a leaky roof isn't going to stop me from having FUN at the beach.

June 25, 2011 ITEX Balance $18,193.25 This is only $3,000 of information. I can't even believe how long this is going to be after $18k more. August 16, 2011. It has been a while since I have wrote in my journal what a piece of shit Ronnie Graham is. I can't wait till he realizes no one is going to keep his business going in Raleigh forever. It's all going to crumble. Today's balance is $17,295.10 which is worth more than his Harley Davidson motorcycle that he has been delinquent and not paid property taxes on since 2006.
I went down to Charlotte, North Carolina to The Pub at Gateway. It was chill. The crackheads begging for money, were worse than some pigeons. The pigeons just poop everywhere and eventually leave, the crack heads leave for 5 minutes and come back begging for some more. We gave the crackhead a sandwich that we bought on barter for him. I paid for Chuck, Nikki, Robbie, Mike, and his girlfriend. I bought shots of liquor for at least 3 other people in the bar since I quit drinking alcohol. The bill was $213.86. Go fuck yourself ITEX of Raleigh. Anna Llewellyn is such a sweetheart, but you are not going to be able to keep affording to pay her, after I am no longer an ITEX member anymore stupid. Did you even do any math on the amount of money that was paid by us in fees? PS. I got my Jumpin' Jonny's refund, because they QUIT. They probably realized what a fucking loser you are and didn't want to help keep paying for that mini van. HAHAH. I just looked it up online and you are fucking DELIQUENT on it. You fucking loser. Maybe Ronald Graham Jr. is not you, but I am pretty sure the other 4 are because I matched it to your house records. PS, Wake County has your house valued at almost $300,000 but the reality is that zillow has it worth $245,000. My house is BIGGER than yours and worth more money than yours. I hope you get foreclosed on hahahaha.

So then you got Asuka, a Japanese restaurant in Wake Forest to become a member. We went and ate dinner there. We had two bottles of wine. Spencer ate sushi, because he is a great kid and will eat just about anything because we always make him try things. He had hibachi scallops and steak. The steak was disgusting and he and I both had to spit it out. Never order steak out. Restaurants will sell "STEAK" all day long because the word is 'steak'. The quality of restaurant steak is trash. They always want to cut corners and buy the cheapest steak money can buy and then charge as much as possible because of the word 'steak'. We couldn't chew it and I even refused to take it home to give to the dog. They will not last long as barter members, because the restaurant was empty, and granted we went on a Sunday night, but overall the sushi was decent, the food was decent, but the location sucks and they are never going to stay in business long enough to make you enough money to pay Anna Llewellyn. Man, when you finally have to fire her, she is going to be devastated. She has worked for your bitch ass forever. Asuka has JenHouse of Raleigh do their website, they are never going to survive, you allow all these fucking losers to become barter members, and then kick out the people who actually know what they are doing. I cannot wait till you go under, and you will because businesses cannot survive on barter.
It was Josh Spielvogel's birthday so I gave him $100 ITEX dollars to go out to dinner with his girlfriend. The amount of people other than myself that have directly benefited from your ignorance continues to grow. I also see that you hired a shitty ass website designer to create you a bunch of websites for ITEX. Don't worry, she sucks at SEO, you might be able to keep finding suckers, but as more and more businesses go out of business, I hope you incur more and more debt. I gave $100 in ITEX and $70 in barter to my other two neighbors, whose whole family is in town from Kentucky. I used Lisa Dee's Florist to send flowers again, this time I sent a flowering plant to my lawyer's receptionist who is just as sweet and patient as Anna Llewellyn. I had lunch at Character Quarters on barter today. I'm just giving countless dollars away left and right. Why? Because I am a GOOD person, and "was" an even better businessman until I grew sick and tired of the same shit of customers always trying to get out of paying their bill. That is why this country is in so much trouble. America, "land of the FREE", land of the obese, lazy, greedy, freeloaders. What would society do without people like me who actually looked around him and CHANGED for the better and decided to constantly give back to less fortunate? There not as many people as you would think.
---

Speaking of all that, its 24 hours after writing that. I gave $100 in barter to my "sister". She still had barter money left from the last time I gave some to her and her boyfriend. I suggested that she try High Park Grill, Asuka, or Mellow Mushroom, but DEFINITELY NOT Blincos or The Pickled Onion. The Pickled Onion is a cool atmosphere, and great alcohol, and their employees are great too. See, three compliments. So why did I tell her not to go? It has shitty ass food like Blincos. When I quit being an alcoholic more than 2 years ago, I stopped going to both of those places. Back to business. She is not really my sister, but we have been friends for so long, and I watched her grow up in some of those years, that I consider her my sister, since the 'real' sister I grew up with is a bitch like you Ronnie Dweeb Graham of ITEX in Raleigh. By the way, the definition of dweeb is even better than I could have imagined, and fits you perfectly. I then gave her mom $100 in barter too. Their 11 year old son said, "Hey I want some too!" We laughed for lots of reasons, mostly because I gave so much of it away and I still have $17,250 left on 9/1/2011 so I have plenty more to give away. I don't need money, I have happiness, and happiness is commitment and dedication to my wife.
Friday night, the child was at a neighbor's child's birthday party, so we went out to dinner at The Melting Pot. The Melting Pot is where we got engaged. The food was delicious, it was not some trashy bullshit like Blinco's, but it was HIGH QUALITY and TASTY. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere was romantic. The bill was $115 and we paid with barter money of course. They don't take your shitty as ITEX dollars, but take other barter money, so it was cool. I also gave the neighbors more than $500 in barter money so they could all go to The Melting Pot in Durham also. Eric, who is a 21 year old marine, took his wife to The Melting Pot the very next night on Saturday. I am sure they felt the same way that we did about the whole dining experience at that restaurant. It was a 5 star meal, with 5 star service, and 5 star atmosphere. See Ronnie Graham, you're a douche bag, you still have not paid your property taxes, and I'm giving this restaurant a compliment on everything. I wish I had taken a photograph, but it was dark inside the restaurant, but I will post a photo for everyone to see of us before we actually left for dinner.
Hey Ronnie Graham, you fucking dumb shit, I gave my mailman some more barter today, just because I am that kind of guy, not some douche bag like you. I sent flowers to a friend of a friend just because she hired me to do quite a bit of work in the past and I wanted to thank her for understanding how important the jobs were to keeping me and others on our feet in such a tight economy. My wife got a TB test at Optimus Urgent Care, and she also sent flowers to my mom's friend who was in a horrible car accident and is going to be in the hospital for months.
I also went to Cancun, Mexico which I paid for with CASH. While we were all having a vacation of a lifetime at the Grand Park Royal in Mexico, during Mexico's Independence Day, I boarded our dog on barter at the Canine Country Club of Raleigh, where I had previously done work for the owners. My dog actually got the benefit, and then we came home for a few days and then left for Williamsburg, Virginia to go to Busch Gardens. We stayed at the Howard Johnson on barter in Williamsburg. The place is a DUMP. I can't believe ITEX kicks members like us out of barter and then lets trashy hotels like the Days Inn, and the Howard Johnson be members. I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint on the Howard Johnson. HoJo is owned by Wyndham Hotel Group. I also boarded my dog at the Canine Country Club of Raleigh, where she had a fabulous time. I'm actually thinking I would have rathered stayed at the at the Canine Country Club of Raleigh than the Howard Johnson. If you recall I got married at the Wyndham Garden in Durham, so to find out that the Howard Johnson is a dump and I had to pay $549.94 to stay in a shit hole, was pretty insulting. The boarding of my dog was $420 for like 10 days. At least my dog was happy. Speaking of "bitches", you are the biggest bitch I know Ronnie, how come you haven't paid your personal property taxes yet Ronnie? Is ITEX struggling that bad? Today is September 26, 2011 and the interest is still accruing. I also was supposed to get $100 in barter to Hooters mailed to us at the Howard Johnson Dumpy Inn, but the money never got there in time. My balance is $15,890.62 and ITEX better credit back that $100 because you fuck faces already have inconvenienced my life enough, it's not my fault the Hooters money didn't show up in time. This is NOTHING happy about this dump, I let the Days Inn in Atlanta slide, but this shit hole I am not happy about. I did not leave a single one of these reviews. 21 terrible reviews clearly shows that you people at ITEX allow any schmuck to join, and then kick out the members who do a ton of business for you. 81 reviews on the HoJo in Williamsburg and 21 rated it TERRIBLE.

I went to dinner at the Chinese Buffet on barter tonight, everything was okay. It wasn't great, it was not horrible. It was cheap buffet food, but the kid loves it. The desserts were probably the best part, the desserts were actually better than most of the desserts in Cancun, Mexico.Winter is right around the corner. I took 15 people to Tyler's Taproom in Durham tonight, next to the Durham Bulls Ballpark and Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). I couldn't even tell you how much barter money was spent, but I can tell you Perimeter Fence Company is the most affordable and reputable fence company in the entire Durham area.
I continued my spree of good deeds and giving, when I took 15 people out to dinner at Tyler's Taproom in Durham. I took my kid to the movies at Raleighwood. I gave $10 in barter to the man in front of us in line because he gave us a free ticket to get in. One good deed deserves another. I plan to continue my string of good karma deeds. I also then took 4 kids out to dessert again for chocolate fondue at the Melting Pot in Durham. I still have $16,700 remaining. We went to Mellow Mushroom with my mom and again without and spent $100 on pizza and subs. I had to get my website money from Tom Meyer at The Q Shack that he owed me and while I was there I picked up dinner for $38.

We got a new German Shepherd puppy. We got some dog toys, and treats on barter. I also got the puppy some shots, medicine, and other things from LAKE WHEELER VETERINARY HOSPITAL. I took my half-sister Karen Braden and her son Gary out on a dinner cruise through Tennessee Riverboat Company. It was cold as hell in Tennessee, and we stayed at the VALLEY VIEW LODGE for 3 nights for $243, which was way better than the Days Inn or the Howard Dump. We took them out to dinner for Japanese food at _____________. Jamie bought me and sent my buddy Jeff Hertzog two Eberle watches on barter for his birthday and the holidays, which cost over $1,300 from House of Charm Antiques South. This brings the total of people I have spent money on so high, that I cannot even count. Jamie spent $650 on FRAMEWORKS GALLERY getting the sketch of Spencer framed and backed. I spent $400 on Doug Portnoy again with ADAMS PORTNOY & BERGGREN, PLLC, getting my bogus criminal charges expunged. Jamie bought her dad an Eagles Sweatshirt for $49 from Multi Market Media, and $120 worth of candles from Country Barn. Jamie spent $72 on The Ultimate Margarita Mix at Son Beverage Company. Jamie and I got our teeth cleaned (again) at Carolina Dental Arts of Brier Creek for $252. Jamie also spent $159 on REVABS (REVOLUTIONARY ABS) like P90-X from Preston M Smith. Jamie bought a gift wrap organizer for $9 from MICROTECH SYSTEMS.
Around Thanksgiving, we took Jamie's father out to Asuka, then we took my mom and her dad to Mellow Mushroom, and we also went to Kemp's Seafood house (NOT on barter) because sometimes cash is king, and douche bags like you are Queen. PS we still have not received our appeal paperwork yet, I am planning on filing a lawsuit against you when all my barter money is gone, you fucking dummy.
Josh Spielvogel of Perimeter Fence Company stepped on a nail yesterday, so today December 6, 2011, he went to the Optimus Urgent Care on Six Forks Road and got a tetnus shot. All that spent and I still have more than $10,000 left. Maybe you should finally pay your fucking property taxes that you owe.
My neighbor's hot water heater busted. The PSNC energy guys were installing the new one while I chit-chatted with them. Knowing that most of America's companies don't ever give employees bonus' and incentives and good-work praise, I decided to give them some barter money. I gave them enough to go out to dinner and feed them and their families and I don't even know their names. Today is 10 days before Christmas, and as you can see, from the time you kicked me out of barter, I have been in the spirit of giving all year long. Why stop now?
Well December 30, 2011. I took 9, yes NINE children to Raleighwood Movie Theatre on barter for our son's birthday party. I took 3 other adults including myself to see Dolphin Tale. You can learn a lot from children. This movie was amazing, and really touched my heart, unlike that heartless bastard Ronnie Graham, and cold-hearted bitch Maurya Lane, who both can suck my fat hairy thick white moby dick. The movie made me tear up a lot. It really caught me off guard because I could relate on so many levels to the feelings these kids had towards the dolphin and their family. This movie made me ready and willing to finally sit down with my child and have that long awaited talk we needed to have about the truth about people in their world and what really went down a few years back. Anyways, all of the children had an amazing time, they had pizza, and pink lemonade and ice cream sundaes. I have lost track on how many people other than myself have benefited from my barter spending spree, but it is not quite over yet. This website is just the beginning of a never ending story about the kindness in my heart, and generosity towards strangers.
I took my father and his new wife out to the Point for dinner with my wife and child. 5 family members for a dinner to celebrate our son's 7th birthday on barter priceless. Maurya, BITCH, shut the fuck up, I'll let you finish in a minute.
Speaking of Christmas, giving, life, and caring about people. My friend Robert Wozniak died from a heart attack on December 24, 2011. He was only 31 years old. I spent barter money on him back in the day when he worked for me. Things did not work out but that is just life. Because I don't Facebook and Twitter, I didn't find out until after the funeral was held in Ohio. I was hurt for his mom. It made me rethink my life. I don't drink liquor, I don't smoke marijuana, I don't smoke cigarettes, all I have is an undisclosed amount of hazardous materials in my body and hope. I have hope that one day, the truth will come out about how they got there, and I will leave that story for another day. PS51 is just another example of the continued injustices in our society. Now back to Robert.
I gave away a couple hundred dollars in barter money today so my neighbor could take her husband and family out to celebrate his birthday at the Chinese buffet on Capital Blvd. I fed 5 people and I did not even attend dinner with them. That is just the kind of generous person I am. I did not receive anything in return except good karma and knowing I will keep "paying it forward" and good things come to those who do good.
I took a friend to lunch today at Characters Quarters in garner. The bill was $40 and we paid with barter money. The sweet habnero hot wings were off the hook. I also filed the paperwork at the Wake County Courthouse to SUE a stupid fucking barter client Auto Show Inc. Stay tuned. I already won the lawsuit against Complete Auto Care both are current or former Raleigh barter members.
We just finished getting back from Wintergreen in Virginia where we stayed on barter. We paid for 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 people to have a good ole time up in the mountains. 3 children got to go snow tubing, 4 adults got to see priceless moments while 2 of the children went snowboarding down the Intermediate slopes. The other child couldn't snowboard because she broke her knuckles in gymnastics. One of the boys had never been snowboarding in his entire life. Spencer went last year when we went to Snowshoe in West Virginia and took Chris and Andrew and stayed on barter there. The list of endless people who have been helped by our good deeds out weighs the amount of complaints that we ever had against us. ZERO
