RANDOM SWAP - *COMPLETED*

[tikibirds]

I got my W-2 and am getting a few hundred back so I signed myself up for the $40 as well 
Im supposed to get an extra $250 from NY but...they have a habit of keeping my refunds for a BS reason. I did an exchange program to a University in Alaska and the retards in NY said I stole state aid.T he U in NY even admitted I owed them nothing, that the $$ went straight to the school in Alaska.

[DazzleKitty]

I just used Turbotax to get my taxes done this morning too. I am getting $550 back so my partner will definitely be a little on the spoiled side for this swap.   I'm super stoked!

[CrazyCatLady]

Just remembered I will be getting a large chunk of money next month, so I'm seriously considering signing up for the $40 also.
Ooh, Tiki-I love those lamps.  I would have a blast shopping for you (and I can see that being a new collection for me!)

[CottonTALE]

I'm still waiting to see how much I will get in February's installment of my tax returns.

[tikibirds]

I wish they were accepting returns now..I could use some of the money on my trip But Noooooo....
I'm getting $720 from federal and supposedly $230ish from state but im not counting on the state one
 


The lamps are neat and I actually got the bigger one off ebay, then had to haul it in my luggage to alaska and then dragged it bac to NY with me 2 years later.

Wow everyone has such cool stuff!

Random question asked though out the thread

I live with my partner and our 2 girls,I have just finished my beauty therapy/holistic therapy course and im now looking for work

If your collection includes either dolls or figures that often come in boxes, do you prefer boxed dolls/figures?  Or would you rather get them loose?  ´
Disney animator dolls I only collect MIB but monster high dolls can be loose thats perfectly fine with me

Artwork?
Yes totally x

Phobias/Things I hate:
I dont like bugs at all but my 10year old does lol

say you collected a specific line of things and listed some that you needed, would you be happy to get ones you DON'T need too? Like if I got a few that were on your want list and a few others too? I only ask because there are some GOOD deals on ebay right now.. lol
Yes sure

If you read or like books in general, what kind of book or specific book is it that you would like to receive. Is there a series you are missing books from or a series you'd like to start reading but just haven't gotten around to buying?
I put books down for my collection and as above I love to read and it would be great to receive books in general i like reading sci-fi/fantasy im actively looking for Grimm brother fair-tales. the providence books by Jamie McGuire and Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia

Also Partner, here is another question- My area is known for their Salt Water Taffy and we have a Candy store here, they make fudge and chocolates. I know the taffy is a thing people associate with our area, so that being said, do you want some salt water taffy or would you like some other sort of candy or something from my area like a post card, t-shirt or knick knack? We have alot of touristy stuff here and I could possibly find something really unique or unusual if you prefer.
I would love to try salt water taffy but I think I would prefer a postcard or something like that so I can keep it for ever:) I collect postcards so would love to recieve one

If you could have a small glass figure of any animal what would it be and what color?  Or are small glass figures just not your thing?
bat wolf or dragon would be awesome:) any colours

yes please

Would you like any MLP trading cards and/or MLP blind bags in your box, as extra goodies?
blind bags are always welcome

Hair accessories?
yes the more unusual the better 

Say you collect Cows. Do you also like toy cows and not just figurines made to collect?
I think so

Tiki -  I have a question for you. If I decided to do both swaps...would I need to dedicate half of my wishlist to one and half to the other? I wouldn't want both of my partners bidding on the same ebay auction or something. What do you think would be the best way to do that...if I decide to do both?

[ember86]

So can we add to our wish lists?

[Mkia]

So can we add to our wish lists?

Up until we get assigned partners . I have been tweaking mind a little.

[terabithianprince]

I feel bad. I can only afford to do the one swap

ember, I think we can add to our wishlists until our partners are assigned. When I did pony swaps, we were allowed to add to our wishlists, but not take items away because that wouldn't be fair to our partner.

[CottonTALE]

I feel bad. I can only afford to do the one swap

I feel you on that one, I can only participate in one too.

[tikibirds]

I wouldn't feel too bad. The only reason I am doing both is because I found out what I am getting back from taxes  Plus as the hostess, I feel I should probanly participate in both swaps.

Feel free to add to the lists, just don't remove anything.

You can always do 2 seperate lists - one for $25 and one for $40.
Not sure how I am going to do it yet

You can PM them with any questions you might have for I shall be cruising around the caribbean and away from all these -20F temps 

[Mkia]

I finally caved and switched to the 40 group xD haha. I dont think I should do both...but I decided to switch to the 40 dollar one because I wanna make a big box for my partner! (And get some cool stuff too )

And as for what Tiki said, yes...I get on multiple times a day so if you need any help while she is gone please feel free to pm me! I am not sure which list I will have yet, but I am sure Tiki will post that once signups are over
