Just came across this (a 3days art swapping fair):

(English subtitling seems not to work.)

The website of this event, see under "successfull exchanges" which offers were accepted...:

It took place in the Brussels Palace for Fine Arts, the most prestigious exhibition and concet hall in town.

Next to other works of art, travels, accomodations, exhibitions, commercial designs, dinners etc., the most outstanding swaps I found were:

-) a complete self-hypnosis course

-) a surprise suitcase

Hey, I went there a few years ago. I offered a "print swap" for a great photo of an African child in a dark tent - but the photographer picked an offer of flying-lessons instead, dohhhh.

It is a fun idea though, especially the opening (remember an umbrella for queuing outside, if raining).

I shall add:

-) flying lessons

(actually there had been accepted twice a one-year piano training, but I did not consider that extraordinary enough to state...)
