NFT: Has anyone purchased an acre of the Rainforest?

[The Bad Guy]

I'm looking to buy an acre of the Rain Forest for my fiancee to give to her 2nd grade class she's student teaching, but I can't tell what sites are legit and what sites are junk.

Some sites have an acre listed for 20 bucks, but it looks real shady.

Has anyone purchased an acre, and if so, where did you do it? I want a reputable website that's going to give a lot of materials about the acre purchased and a nice certificate to present to the class.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I know it's off-the-wall, but this place is a melting pot of random things.

Thanks in advance...

I don't have any rainforest land, but I do have a bridge I could sell you if you're interested...

[Phobia]

I can make a onetime offer on a star I bought several years ago. It can be yours for a paltry $25k.

Rainman tried to sell me some bear spots once.

Boy, this sure sounds like a cheap source of firewood. Maybe I should buy a couple, too.

[Skip Towne]

Step right over here (donning green eyeshade) and I'll fix you up. Only $250. We take Paypal.

Not to mention the hunting......mmmmm, endangered species.

As a followup to that story, my wife told me the other day that the bear spots in our lawn are gone now. We've been getting a lot of rain lately, so I guess maybe the bears have gone back up into the mountains to catch salmon or something.

You sure they didn't come down for an interview?

[The Bad Guy]

It's all about the presentation. I know these things are a scam, but the principal of the school she's teaching at would eat something up like this.

And you have to kiss a lot of ass to get a teaching job in that district and I think this could really help her.

I should of known to expect sarcasm.

Yes, yes you should have.

Did you just get here? :)

[ExtremeChief]

I was going to get half an acre but I didn't have any place to put it.

[trndobrd]

How much does an acre cost? Sounds like a dandy spot for a tree house.

[Mr. Kotter]

I'd gladly sell you an acre of rain forest; I'll even give you a location, an adoptive tribe, and an "official" looking certificate...only $50 bucks.

Hurry, it's a limited time offer only. :)

Man you guys don't cut no slack at all. :shake:

Teachers work too dang hard and the hubby has to put up with the wife working a whole bunch of unpaid overtime.

Give the dude a break and some real advise instead of sarcasm. :harumph:

Haha, thank you for the support.

We aren't married yet, but she works her ass off and she's not even getting paid for it yet.

But, I figured I would get sarcasm. I've been around long enough to know how this place works.

Laz,

Thank you very much for the link.

[Phobia]

I'll sell you this for $110. It's beautiful, isn't it?

For $95 more, I'll sent you a quart of stream water. Then you could say you have some of the water out of the stream if you wanted to.

Don't buy that land. It's all moldy.

For the 3rd time, I could give a shit about the actual land. It's the presentation aspect of it. If the site will give me a nice certificate to present to the class and some materials then I'm fine with it.

If I have to spend 50 bucks to ensure that she will get the job she wants in that district, then it's a wise investment.

[Rain Man]

Do you intend to farm the land, Bad Guy?

Okay, that will be $205. Please drive through.

Don't worry about it.

The next time one of these ballbreakers requires help, I'll make every effort to be a wiseass.

[Chest Rockwell]

... but it looks real shady.

Of course it looks shady, it's an acre of rainforest. No shade = no forest.

I say do the deal.

That's fine with me, so long as you're not a wiseacre about it.

Not until he knows more about the deed restrictions. I refuse to have anybody tell me I can't paint my house red and carve a giant Arrowhead into my sod.

[Bob Dole]

Are you looking for an acre that already has utilities?

[Bob Dole]

Oddly enough, a Google search doesn't turn up an MLS for the rain forest.

[cookster50]

Won't take much effort, will it?

[Rain Man]

Before I bought an acre of rain forest, I'm make darn sure that there are no howler monkeys who own neighboring plots. You'd never get to sleep at night.

Just think of the wiseass comments as a free bump until someone can come along to give you a real answer. At least that is what I often use some of my posts as.

thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Man, why not get your "Gay Liberal" card stamped now...

An acre of rain forest.... :)

Maybe McDonalds will sell you some of theirs.

Yeah, real gay. Damn me for trying to help out my fiancee.

Just joking around a little, Bad...Thus the smilie....

[Fat Elvis]

Why not just print up a certificate and cop a couple of pics of the rainforest off the internet? It will be just a valid as the $20 you spend to buy an "acre of rainforest."

You, my friend, just cost me $205. Thanks a lot!

I thought about that, but a couple of the teachers in the school are rain forest freaks and if the authenticity was ever questioned my fiancee would look like a fraud.

I really don't care about the dough. I care about getting her a job because with freelance writing come zero benefits. The benefits package just passed at the district is top notch and I wouldn't have to worry abotu it benefits when we get married.

That's exactly what the "real" salesmen are doing.

That's going to come back to haunt them when The Bad Guy goes down there to start his farming.
