Description:

Two years and going strong with this type swap. So glad you all like it. As with the other 23, search a thriftstore for your swap partner. Check profile to ssee if there is something she/he might like to receive but that is not necssary, could get you a heart though. Make sure it is not cracked, smelly, torn or ugly. No price limit and no one should complain. This is fun to do and send. I do check your ratings and explanations for a one rating. I do ban at my discretion. Newbies welcome but need a good profile.

I Love Thrift Stores & Consignment Shops & I get some of my best & favorite things there., from (Clothing-Bedding -Boots-Books, and Dishes - CDs!) But What Do You Mean-Search A Thrift Store For Your Partner? Sounds like fun but need more info please. Thanks in advance.

Sent Angeltea9 a PM about her question.
Remember it is always Senders Choice, but that is up to you. Also, I am keeping tract of all ratings for those who sign up on my swaps and will ban if they don't answer my mesage to them. Not to worry my friends.

OMG! I just found a heaven swapping. I do the rounds every single week, so I can say that it is an obession. Glad I found this sounds like a great tresure hunt.

I'm a thrift store junkie! I love thrift store shopping. you never know what you're going to find hidden under everything. I'd be thrilled to join this swap.

I'm going shopping this weekend :)

cerenaleigh 02/14/2012 #

I'm very excited that partners will be assigned soon! Can't wait to check out my partner's profile and go thrifting! :)

ladydy5 02/14/2012 #

I have checked all that are in the swaps with lower than a 5.0 and newbies. I have ban one and asked two others to fill out a better profile. If not done by the 16th I will ban also. You will not a low rating on two but I have either been in contact with them or I feel it will be okay., If I am wrong, I will take care of that too. Never fear when you are in my swaps.

@ladydy5 thank you for being such a careful host. Those of us that are in the swap appreciate it tremendously. I have no qualms about kicking swappers out of my swaps if they are not according to the guidelines I sent down. And when you carefully look over the participants it makes us a lot more comfortable and I for one am happier swapping.

When will you assign partners?

ladydy5 02/16/2012 #

Assigned, one ban on it and one I am trusting to send. Lets go ladies.

pdjewelrylady 02/16/2012 #

whooohoooo my first swapbot swap!! YAY! thank you for including me :) q: how many items does one normally send to partner? :D

ladydy5 02/17/2012 #

Any amount you want to send.

ladydy5 02/20/2012 #

I see some of our newbies without ratings are doing really well and have sent already. Way to go!

Latinboop 02/21/2012 #

The postage was waaaaaaay more than I spent on all the goodies. But, nonetheless, I hope all of the items are to my partners liking. Hopefully I will get a box full of goodies also.

ladydy5 02/26/2012 #

I realize postage can get out of hand. I would advise you all to get a scale to weigh your items then go to USPS website and calculate the postage to that person. If it is way too much you should eliminate something you were sending if that is of a concern. Please do not expect the same amount of things to you that you sent to your swapper. This is for you to find something for your swapper and not necessarily a bunch of things. It can get costly if you are watching your pocketbook. I know I am.

ladydy5 02/29/2012 #

Today is the date to send and I see 17 have not sent or showed sent yet. I always send a message to them in case they have forgotten and they always are very nice about it. 17 out of 83 isn't too bad but hope it improves.

ladydy5 03/ 1/2012 #

it improved greatly only 5 not marked sent yet.

ladydy5 03/ 7/2012 #

Only two have not marked sent out of 83. How great, hoping now it is 100 per cent. New thriftstore find is up for signup. I will c ontinue each month if you all like this swap and all send. Thanks for joining in. I contacted those two hoping they will send.

HeatherannB 03/ 7/2012 #

Thanks for continuing! I love this swap series!

ladydy5 03/22/2012 #

100 per sent sent. Thank you

HeatherannB 03/22/2012 #
