Okay
I've updated the rules:
http://www.geocities.com/littlespiffy/NEWWEBPAGE/SwapBox.htm
...and because Geocities is just so wonderful, I think that it will run over it's allocated data transfer limit...so...here's what the site says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello! If you're reading this you must be interested in participating in the swap box! Please send me your e-mail address, home/mailing address, and a minimum of five trading references. If you have less than five trading references but have eBay feedback, please send me your eBay id. My e-mail address is
littlespiffy@yahoo.com
I know you must have few questions about the swap, so I will do my best to answer everything. If you still have questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Since this is a swap box, you will be responsible for the shipping cost of the box. At this moment (7/12/05) the swap box is in its infancy stage. I do not know if this will be a strictly American swap or an international swap. There is no mailing list yet, but I will organize the list based on geographic location. Hopefully this will cut down on the shipping costs.
If this turns out to be an international swap, I will e-mail you before hand to ask if you are able to pay for international shipping charges. Don't worry, I wont stick anyone with a box they can't afford to ship.
This swap box is for anything MLP related: ponies, accessories, stickers, buttons, customs, homemade items, etc. Ponies should range from good to mint condition. If you desire to put a custom bait in the box, please make sure it does not have anything 'contagious' like mildew or mold. Please do not trade a custom bait for a pony in good condition. Try to make your trades as fair as possible. If you cheat each other, it will be no fun. I will start the box with 5 ponies and a few accessories.
New ponies (G2 and G3) should
not be traded for older ponies. Please trade G1s for G1s, G2s for G2s, and G3s for G3s. Trading newer ponies for accessories or other items is fine. I just don't want someone to get the box with only new ponies in it.
Please do not send food in the box! I realize that there are items such as MLP cady tins, lollipops, and bubble gum - these items are perfectly fine to trade
as long as they're sealed. If you have an empty tin or a lollipop cover, that's perfectly all right. I just don't want anything perishable to get ruined - or ruin anything else in the box.
Please do not send anyting that's liquid! This is just to protect the other items from possible damage do to spills and leaks.
I will be placing a notebook in the box. Feel free to write a note, draw a few pictures, say "hi" to each other.
There is one requirement: you must write what was in the box when you got it, what you took, and what you put in. When the swap is over, I will scan the pages and create a web page so everyone can see where the box went!
I will also create a web page that shows the master mailing list and where the box is. I will not be putting anyone's home address on the page, just MLPTP IDs. When you get the box, please e-mail me so I can keep the page updated. This is very important! The '02 US-Canada swap box was lost for weeks and it was difficult for me to track it down. In the end I did get it back, but it never made it to Canada and half of the people who wanted to participate in the swap couldn't.
