HERE'S HOW TO LOOK GREAT IN 'NEW' JEANS and CASUAL CLOTHES
- ALL FOR FREE!
1. Box-up jeans and casual clothes you've been Saving for
untold reasons in a medium USPS flat-rate Savings
Deposit Box! Recycle quality clothing and put its
significant value to better use. SQUEEZE'M IN! The more
you Deposit the more (or better) you can Withdraw.
Actual Deposits - two are the same unboxed and boxed
3T girls/$66, 4pr Levi 517 jeans/$67, Handmade Tizu
Lizard-Skin boots/$80, 3pr 5/6
jeans~2-skirts~4-tops~hoodie/$119 (pay USPS $10 postage -
includes supplies, door-to-door pickup, delivery).
*remember values are calculated using MSRP ranges and
condition of goods. Unlisted, custom and vintage goods
determined by Depositor.
2. Register your email and zip code
and virtually Make-a-Deposit of your USPS box before
9/17/10. Founder's Bonus earns double (when your Deposit
Box is shipped) the generous JeanBank value. Opening September 17th. Founders earn right of first withdrawals.
After Sept. 17th deposits bring only their face value and
towards winter a third variable showing the
demand or Interest in your goods will determine the value
of your deposit. Base JeanBank value is the M$RP range
which is (hopefully) in our database. Otherwise you
estimate retail price.

The JeanBank concept is based on our 2-for-1
JeanExchange opened near the University of Cincinnati in
1991 and operated for 10 years at Traders World Market
(Monroe, Oh) and in Blue Ash (Oh) as Blue Ash Blues where
all ages, all sizes and all physical conditions came in
their quest for the perfect jeans.
