Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:Chanel (contact)
Swap categories: Random Items  Challenges  Miscellaneous 
Number of people in swap:18
Location:International
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:April 4, 2009
Date items must be sent by:April 30, 2009
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

I am not sure if this has ever been done before but I have wanted to try it for a while. Basically each person lists 5 items they DO NOT WANT to receive and their partner looks for and sends an opposite item.

example your list says DO NOT SEND:
anything white
anything square
anything with stripes
anything that smells like flowers
anything hard

so your partner might send:
something black
something round
something with polka dots
something that smells like citrus
something soft

PLEASE NOTE: Each item is individual. Example-the first item says do not send anything white. You can still send something white for Item #2 if you want to .

In order to play you MUST list 5 items in the comments section below that you DO NOT WANT to receive. At the end of the sign ups anyone without a list will be dropped.

This swap is greatly open to interpretation so please be understanding and lenient of what you receive. What you see as opposite, your partner may not. That said, DO NOT SEND GARBAGE! Check your partners profile carefully and send items that are clean and useable. Handmade items are acceptable. Secondhand also acceptable but only if they are good items.

Requirements:
You must have a 4.9 or higher to participate.
You must have at least 10 Rated swaps to participate.
You must include a note explaining the "opposite view" of each item you send.
You must send a minimum of 5 items.
You must send Good quality, clean, useable items.

There is plenty of time between sign ups and send date so you should not be late. However, if you do run into a problem of mailing on time please contact your partner and let them know. Communication is key to proper swapping and rating. Also, please be prepared to rate your partner fairly. Rating is an important part of the swapping procedure and should not be overlooked.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. However here are a few answers ahead of time.

No, I will not make a US or US/Canada only one. But yes, you may make one yourself if you so wish. however, please make the sign up and start dates to run after this one so people may participate in both if they wish.

Yes, you must have 10 rated swaps to join, no I will not make an exception.

Yes, your list needs to be in the comment section. I know they can read your profile but that defeats the purpose of a scavenger hunt list.

Most importantly, have fun :)
