Diane & others,

Sorry, I forgot that aspect of the swap. Let me say this: I suggest that everyone put in each package what they feel comfortable with. I know that's not an answer but let's say you have an extraordinary excess of something expensive, say polar bear. So you put a decent size chunk in each package. While that polar bear has $ value, you may never use it. However, should you get a pack of cdc or wood duck, both of which you happen to need, you'll be better off.

Maybe I should say that each package should at least be valued(say retail) at about $5. This is just a general guideline.

Hope this doesn't muddy the waters.

Allan
