Superswap v7 *NEW EDITION*

[albertabeef]

Good to hear man I'm down for some extra christmas presents.

[tac0tron]

Alright, looks like everyone has now shipped. All that needs to be completed is the delivery of a care package to lasseg and then this Superswap will be concluded!

[lasseg]

I just picked up my care package, unfortunately i cant make out the user who sent it to me, but thank you so much! 

 

I got

 

Sense magazine

Origami paper! 

Japanese sweets and snacks

A metal golden gate miniature

firework crackers

and SF coffee! 

 

The postage was $70, which is insane! 

 

appreciate it!

 

 

 

 

 

[tac0tron]

Whitney sent that package to you! =]

[insted]

i would really like to participate in this in the future! 

[whitney]

I'm down for the next one

hope you liked the green tea and strawberry kitkat

I wanted to get the crunch version too but it's all out

the soft mochi is really good over ice cream or frozen yogurt

(:

[thelion1856]

When is the next super swap & who is running it?

[e0d9n0b5]

i will organize but be advised all the packages will be sent to me tia

[J_METAPHYSIKAL]

Def down for the next !

[kindofyoung]

I'm probably down for the next one too

[tac0tron]

Debating if I should organize or not. Anyone else want to?

[frasier oiseau]

I'd probably be down

[thelion1856]

Ya hit me up I'm down

[tac0tron]

Too busy to organize, someone else do it!

[skeetinmynose]

i'll organize but i have to inspect all packages first and sometimes items will be seized like in customs or will be subject to inspection for 45 days when i inspect them i wear them out and stuff and eat the asian snacks and i may or may not sell your things to buy an acronym jacket 

[edmond]

im down

[mr fluffernutter]

edmond is down for having his asian goodies seized, big surprise!

[whitney]

I would participate, would also organize if need be

but I would implement a few rules tho.. including one I won't budge on

$20 deposit, will be refunded at end once mission completed. may even earn a few pennies in interest (depending on market) but you won't lose your principal. unless you disappear, then the money does too.

if someone else organizes I'll still participate.

[tac0tron]

Damn that's hardcore!

It would deter many from participating but I guess attract the people that are truly down.

[whitney]

yeah I figure that would kill two birds with one stone

if someone can't complete the swap, esp if you receive a package, the twenty will go towards sending the one who didn't receive it--obviously it is still leaning on someone's kindness to cover rest plus shipping

the twenty also would just be a sign of good faith since it's only held, and will be returned once the item is received.

[bryanayrb]

i think i'm more inclined to participate with the deposit

[skeetinmynose]

i'll host im centrally located and have a paypal verified account and i will use all your deposits to buy an acronym jacket that i won't be able to return because i got green tea kit kat crumbs on it

[tac0tron]

Maybe go towards a shared acronym jacket? Trvlng acrnym

[whitney]

I don't mind working a way w/people who participate to give a safe piece of mind

anyways it's just a suggestion

the only thing that puts me off is the extortionate postage cost to send something international

[conqueror]

the only thing that puts me off is the extortionate postage cost to send something international

 

if its any consolation its actually more expensive for those of us outside the u.s/canada to send something over your way than it is to send something from the states to another country (i.e. a parcel from melbourne>new york will cost much more than new york>melbourne).

 

edit: to be fair, it might just apply to australians as australia post continue to get away with charging pure rape international postage fees.

[whitney]

that's the beauty of the swap tho when u have people from all over the world

esp if you've never been there before..that person is bringing a little of it to you & vice versa

you can find things relatively inexpensive that they don't have there that's pretty cool

plus for US u can ship international flat rate..and if not..rick owen shirts are pretty thin and light so shipping probably won't go over 30

but I mean if you want someone domestic to you, whoever is organizing it should be able to accommodate if that's really a make it or break it kinda deal

[funkdoobi]

I'd be down if someone were to organize it. I got some shit to send out to set the bar for a dope package (again).

[albertabeef]

funkdoobi killed it on his last package. I'd be in again if someone organizes, people need to put some effort into it though v7 had some pretty bland shit. 

[whitney]

^best package, presented and based on contents gets a prize

anyone who can rep, can vote

would love to get a handful of quality participants rather then a lot of great, okay, so so and no shows
