Description:

I have become totally addicted to Etsy and have such a HUGE list of things I want...but who can afford to buy everything they want??? LOL. So, thought this would be a really cool swap and won't cost too much:)

SWAP DETAILS

You will buy one item for your partner from their Etsy favorites list. Choose something that's in the price range of $5-$6 before postage and ask the seller to ship the item directly to your partner. That is very important!!! You will need to include a message when you place the order, send him/her your partner's address and be sure to ask the seller to include a note which includes the name of the swap and your username so your partner will know where it came from.

So, to recap, you will buy one item valued at $5-$6 before postage for one partner from their Etsy favorites and have it shipped directly to your partner with a note enclosed. Each participant needs to have atleast around 15-20 items in their favorites list in this price range so your partner shouldn't have trouble choosing an item to send you:)

REQUIREMENTS

You must have a rating of 4.8 with no 1 ratings within the past 6 months. Newbies must be rated on atleast 5 snail-mail swaps. Postcards, penpal letters and email swaps do not count toward this total.

I will not be able to angel for this swap, so let's make this a good one ya'll:)))

I am having a lot of fun filling up my favs with fun little stuff!

It isn't as easy as I thought it would be though!

SAVE ON SHIPPING - my partner can get me a pattern!!!

Unless they like something else ;)

Hi - another comment about my favs - some of my items in my favs have been sold BUT you can still get them from the seller - they are items that are relisted!!

Just joined. I love Etsy, and even though I could buy something little for myself, it's fun having it be a surprise from someone else! :)

I LOVE these swaps! I also love getting anything from my amazon wishlist. I wish these swaps were every month haha!

I love these swaps, too. Last time I did one on the forums, though-the seller did NOT put a note inside to the recipient, even though I asked her to do so... :-( So, just be aware that even if you ask, sometimes they still won't do it. :-/ Love this swap, though!

Boy am I having trouble keeping stuff $6 and under in my Etsy Favs. I put some in and the next day it's sold or removed. :(

justbiz 06/23/2009 #

I just want to remind everyone that some sellers relist the same items after they sell - so if you see something that is sold make sure the seller doesn't have another one listed - I have been have the same issues as DosLittleMonkeys

DosLittleMonkeys 06/24/2009 #

It's OK with me if it is two or three small items to make up the $5-6 range instead of one...

DosLittleMonkeys 06/24/2009 #

Please don't get me this, but I had to share....

Just wanted to let you know that there's interest for a potential part two, I'd love to join now, but I don't meet the requirement, so I'm just expressing my interest for your swap, lettin' you know I'd love to participate next time.

Also, when you see items on my Favorites section that are $10-$35+, please don't think I'm ACTUALLY wanting those from Swap-bot members. They're for me to consider buying later on, obviously. I'm not crazy. Hee hee! :-)

Doodlebabe 06/25/2009 #

This just HAS to be hosted again! I have too much on my plate right now (again! darn it!).

bettflow09 06/26/2009 #

Oops!!! Let's try this again, lol. My sister didn't sign off of her account, so I jumped on posted a message here and didn't even notice..hehe!! Don't want to get ya'll confused, lol. It don't take much to get me confused...hehe!

Ok...as I was saying:

Don't worry.....I'm planning on a round 2:)) Just like tater chips....can't have just 1...hehe!! If my partner wants to buy me 2-3 items adding up to $5-$6, that's perfectly fine with me:) Most of my favs are super cheap! I also have lots of el-cheap-o patterns listed that will be delivered by email. So if you want to buy a couple of patterns and save that postage, hey...can't blame ya there, and I would be perfectly happy with that:)))

bettflow09 06/26/2009 #

Oh, btw....I'm having a little trouble keeping my favs updated. Seems like things are selling out daily. So, if you see something on my list that is sold and want to search for another just like it, that'll be fine. Biggest majority of my favs are items that the seller has multiples of, so would be easy to find another one.

hayatiggs 07/ 6/2009 #

I'm with 80sElectropop, lots of my faves are marked for me to find later on, or to hint at my hubby with :)
