Updates/new items....

Hey Swappy Friends....just wanted to let you know I'll hopefully have some new items up in the Swappy Seconds shop within the next few weeks.  Hopefully before the holidays.

Also, just wanted to let you know, even though I post a deadline for swap proposals, if an item has no proposals often I still keep it on hand for swapping at least a month or two after the deadline.........
so with that being said, don't hesitate to ask me if I still have an item even if the deadline has since past.
Usually if the deadline has past, I'll take the first offer in order to get the item outta my house.

And now that I mention that little tidbit, let me tell you all items posted in the blog entires below have since been donated, swapped, or given away.  They are no longer in my possession.

So visit me soon-I'll have some wintery items up for grabs and I look forward to swapping with YOU.

xoxo-

HOW IT WORKS...


Welcome to my Swap-Shop, Swappy Seconds!
Maybe you'll just find that my cast-offs are your newest treasure.

The Plan:

-I post items I'm planning on getting out of my life
-You entice me with swap proposals
-After previously specified amount of time, I choose the person's item I most want to swap for
-"Winner" and I trade addresses and head to the post office (I pay to ship you my item(s), you pay to ship me your items)
-A Swap has been made!


How To Go About a Swap:

-Read each item's post carefully, making sure to note the end date of each swap.
-If interested in the item, email me (swappy_seconds@yahoo.com)with the blog post's title as the subject
-Within the email, tell me your item(s) you're willing to trade for it (photos are appreciated)
-Wait patiently until swap Item's specified end-date, when winner will be contacted within 24 hours (unless I'm out-of-town, or something crazy is going down in my life).
-Winner will also be posted on Swappy Seconds for all to note. (if you have a blog/website I will link the winner to it)


It's "Quality" Not Quantity:

-I am getting rid of these items whether swapped or not, they will eventually be donated to charity (I just want to give you first dibs)
-I am not looking to score a lot of items/loot in these trades, in fact I'm looking to downsize my life.
-Many Items will be grouped together as a "LOT", and I am not necessarily looking to trade for similar quantity of items.
-I'll be happy to trade a "LOT" for one item I really treasure.
-So make your proposed swaps geared to my likings


Don't Have Anything to Swap?:

-No problem, each item will also specify a small fee for those looking to make a quick purchase.
-Just email me letting me know that you're interested in Buying, not swapping
-In addition to the small purchase fee, you will be responsible for shipping charges.
-By opting to purchase instead of swapping does not necessarily guarantee you a "win", I may choose a swap item from another proposal if its well suited to my liking


Some Hints on Swaying my Final Choice:

-Check out my ongoing "Wishlist" for items I LOVE/WANT all-day, everyday
-Check the Item's Post to see if any particular goods are listed as "Swap-worthy"
-Get to know ME by reading my blog: Wild as a Mink, but Sweet as Sodapop


Got Questions?

-Read all Items' posts carefully, as tradebacks and refunds will not be allowed. Make sure to ask any questions before proposing a swap.
-If you decide against a previous proposal-contact me before the end-date and I'll be happy to remove your item from consideration.
-Swapper (me) pays for shipping my item(s) to you, Swappee (you) pays to ship your item(s) to me.
-If individual choosing to purchase my item (instead of swapping) is chosen as the winner of the swap, he/she will be responsible for payment and shipping costs.

NOW LET'S MAKE A SWAP!!!
