The Wish List Swap

Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:user8908 (contact)
Swap categories: Random Items  Themed  Miscellaneous 
Number of people in swap:33
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:July 5, 2007
Date items must be sent by:July 30, 2007
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

International

Make a list of 10 things that you wish to have, and put it in the comments below. Make sure they aren't overly expensive, and fairly easy to get. You will each have 1 partner and pick 5 things from your partners list to send to them. The price limit will be a minimum of $15 USD.

This is open to everyone. But please if you don't think you will be able to fulfill the requirements requested by you once the swap deadline approaches, then drop from it! It's unfair to the people who actually participate in these swaps and then get nothing in return after all their hardwork!

Please don't send junk, either. Don't send used items or things found in a thrift store. This is a wishlist swap, and most of the items people list can be beautifully handmade, or bought inexpensively. You will have 25 days to get your items sent out after your partners are assigned. This should give you plenty of time to do it right! I also give any swapper the right to rate poorly if they feel their package was basically trash. (Please contact me and give me details of the package beforehand so I can ponder on whether or not it is trash, or send pics).

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A LIST POSTED BY THE TIME PARTNERS ARE TO BE ASSIGNED, YOU WILL BE BANNED!

Also you need to have a fully filled out profile. Even though we have listed items here, the profile will give better detail on the items to buy!! I will go through on the last day and ban those who only have a 4 line profile!

Any questions, feel free to message me!

Thanks!

Juliuslove28 your package was posted today from Australia :o)

thatshot7 07/18/2007 #

just received my package! first pacakage i have received ever since i just joined swap-bot. it was GREAT!

ceske 07/19/2007 #

I sent mine to Sally today.

hudykamis 07/19/2007 #

saalis,your package is on the way. (:

SassyBird 07/23/2007 #

Not to sound ungrateful but I received a very disappointing package from my swap partner. Items were NOT new - everything was either broken, dirty, or useless. Unfortunately most things had to go straight into the bin! I checked and this is not the first time that this swapper has received negative feedback for sending junk packages. This person has sent used items, poor condition yard sale items, and the like before.

Swappers - for the sake of your partners - please don't sign up for a swap if you can't fulfill the requirements!!! No one expects you to spend a week's salary on a swap but there is a minimum $$ requirement for a reason. There is no way $15.00 was spent on this swap when a person sends pens from a bank, printed magazine articles that are folded to be used as "notecards", etc.

I have only had GREAT experiences on Swap Bot and I try to send a lot of love with every one of my swap packages. Unfortunately I now know what it is like to receive one where little, if no, thought is put into the package.

user8908 07/23/2007 #

You do not sound ungrateful, you have every right to feel the way you do. That stuff IS trash and to send it in a used cereal box??? A shoe box maybe, but a cereal box???

I don't see why people who can't afford to actually spend money on their partner, sign up for this stuff. Oh wait, I forgot, it's because they are basically theives and want to get good stuff from THIER partner, but yet send out CRAP to their send-to partner. GRRRRRR! This makes me furious!

beaglemom 07/23/2007 #

I agree -this is terrible. I would be willing to be an angel for sassybird if she needs one.

user8908 07/23/2007 #

Thanks beagle mom, I did find someone!!! TY!

SassyBird 07/23/2007 #

thank you so much, Beagle Mom, for offering to be an angel for me in the "The Wish List" swap. it was very thoughtful of you! I know that there are more wonderful people like yourself out there than there are poor swappers and that's why I love swap-bot!

thank you, our fine hostess, Mom2Emma, for trying so hard to rectify the situation. it was in NO WAY your responsibility to make up for this bad swapper. I appreciate your kindness.

I didn't want to publish the negative comments but I thought it was necessary to warn others especially when the person has a track record.

as Mom2EmmaLanea said, swap items don't have to be expensive - dollar items are great! - but just not unusuable! I agree also that if you can't afford to swap - it does require some funds, then please stick to the handmade swaps where creativity is the highlight of the swap.

thanks again to everyone for their kindness! take care! xx Kimberly

user8908 07/23/2007 #

No problem kimberly. That's what I'm here for! I've got someone to angel for you, too!

beaglemom 07/26/2007 #
