Swap box

There seems to be enough interest, so I’m going to set up a swap box. I will start it off stocked with a reasonable amount of stuff, and will ship it out once signups are completed. The rules will be simple. Take what interests you, then replace it with something of equal value and put on postage then mail it to the next person. The only real cost to you will be postage to the next person on the list. Everything else will be equal value exchange.
For everyone’s benefit, every person must post what you take, what you replaced it with, and when you mail it to the next person.
Please make every effort not to keep the box for more than a day or 2 before forwarding it down the list. I’ll open things up to sign up, then reorder the shipping list so that it makes some sort of sense and we aren’t shipping across country constantly. Once the order is established, be sure to PM your shipping address to the person before you so they know where to send it. Also PM your shipping address to me so I can enclose shipping labels in the box. If you are the last one, send it back to me, and we’ll call it done.
When you sign up, be sure to post your state of residence if it isn’t readily obvious in your profile. I’m going to put a limit on the box of 20 people to begin with, and signups will be open until March 13 or until we fill.
See post #7 for the contents list, and post #20 for shipping order.

This is the final list. The items that are in plastic bags are considered to be 1 item. Do not take partial items. Take everything in a bag, and replace it with like value. Items not bagged are considered individual items. Be sure to post what you take and what you replace it with.

Count me in as well. This sounds like fun.

Count me in…Keven D…Tennessee

Blue put me on the list!!! I’m in Vermont

Fatman

I should have everyone on the list up to this point.

This sounds like a hoot. I’d like to participate. If I don’t meet the minimum requirements, I understand. I’ve been mostly lurking. I’m in NOLA (New Orleans, LA)

What is the latest on the swap box haven’t seen any post lately about the swap…:smiley:

2 days left until signup is closed. Then I’ll set the mailing order. The box should be packed and ready to start shipping on Monday.

This is a good time to start asking for mailing addresses from everyone. Send me your address in a PM, and I’ll have the shipping order and addresses for everyone enclosed in the box.

Really surprised it didn’t fill up, usually people beg to get in on it. Blue when you have the final mailing order could you post it by just user name here on the thread??

Thanks

Fatman

You bet. I’ll make sure it is posted.

I want to play too! Count me in. :slight_smile:

Count me in… I have some extra neat stuff…ModocDan …Central Point, Oregon

Put me on the list too! Lots of extras!!!

Bill

Last day for signups! Post #7 has all of the items going in the box when it leaves my house tomorrow. When you get the box, post on this thread what you take out and what you replace it with. That way no one will be able to complain about theft or cheating about anyone else.

As it stands now, shipping order is:

If there is an asterisk by your name, that means I need your shipping info. PM me with it ASAP, please. I will not ship the box until everyone has their address to me.
