Swap Box around the USA
@summerskin was the one who first shared this idea.How nice! This is such a cool idea. A gold star to the one(s) who thought of this!
@starry_solo Since/if there is going to be a second box, can I put in for a spot of my own on that one? We don't want to take up two spots if there's only one box going around, but if there are two, then I'd sign up for a spot with the second box. Does that make sense?
Great. Thanks, then, and please add me for the second box.Yes that's fine.
I will let @starry_solo make the final call but I would think sold listings along with best judgment is better. Not sure everyone (myself included) gets pins at cost. And that leaves too much room for a lopsided trade. Like if I take out a stitch marquee I shouldn’t be able to replace it with an Artemis foul marquee!Rule clarification question, for this rule:
6. Limited edition pins 750 (large) and under must be traded within $10 value
How are we calculating value? Original purchase price? Last eBay sold listing?
I participated in @summerskin’s box and I wasn’t sure on value on some of the ones I took so I sent her photos of what I was trading in and out and she agreed they were fair trades.I will let @starry_solo make the final call but I would think sold listings along with best judgment is better.

I think if anyone is not sure on values they can ask the opinion of one or two people who have gone before them (and therefore have seen the box already)
@Ajk offered to start a boxOne more edit to Post #1 due to more questions that were asked.
I'll respond to posts when I am on a computer.
We still need a volunteer to start a second swap box.

Correct. Although I do have to warn that I don't have any MOG or DEC pins, so won't be the most grail-tastic box. At least initially. But I have plenty of other low LE pins, and higher LE pins, and OEs/HMs. Little light on LR also if that is a concern, but do have some.

Thanks for your work organizing this! It sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun!!ok, I think I caught up with everyone that wants to participate and have listed them in post #3 for the "interest list."
Yay! So fun!
A quick reminder (I know this has been mentioned in another thread) that if you're able to print labels from home, PirateShip.com is a great way to save money on Priority shipping. They also have rates for Priority Cubic (non Flat Rate boxes) that are amazing prices for smaller boxes that pack a weighty punch -- just the thing for this swap. You may get a good rate there, so don't be afraid to check the rates!
