Title: Christmas in Juy Swap - interest??
Post by: tikibirds on May 17, 2013, 02:47:34 PM
Would anyone be up for a christmas in Juy swap? Basically it would be the same as the "other collections swap" but you are allowed to have ponies on your wishlist instead of just non pony items your collect.
Shipping would be about August
2 catagories - $25 and $40

If you are interestd please keep in mind  - you may be looking for items that you are NOT familiar with. You MUST pay attention to your partners wish list. if I say I collect pokemon cards, don't send me somethihng from Digimon. Yeah, they are similar but they are NOT the same thing. I would be unhappy with the items and that would result in approperiate feedback

I'd be totally interested - I :heart: me my :xmas: any time of year! :cheer:

Would the $25 budget have wiggle room for extras?  And would a Christmassy-Yuley-Channukahy theme be optional-but-recommended?

I'd love a swapp that does not go for ponies only, since I have so many collections right now XD I'm so in!

I'd like to join again, but I am not sure about the christmas theme, and I think I'd want a higher budget. I thought $40 was perfect.
Title: Re: Christmas in Juy Swap - interest??
Post by: Mori_LeStrange on May 26, 2013, 07:51:33 PM
I'm definitely interested. I loved the random swap so doing something similar would be great.
Title: Re: Christmas in Juy Swap - interest??
Post by: tikibirds on May 28, 2013, 02:44:12 PM
I was thinking of a shipping date either the end of July-mid august, depending on when partners get assigned.
I know not everyone does the Xmas thing but we could incorporate other winter holidays as well. I celebrate christmas but I am not opposed to looking for hanauka themed items or just wintery themed items if my partner is not into any of the traditional holidays. Im thinking by mid august, i'll be ready for winter again *hates the heat* The wintery theme, i would think would be more for stuff like wrapping paper and not so much for the items on the wish lists since its kinda hard to find christmas stuff in the middle of summer without going to Ebay/Etsy or the home made route.

I can easily do the 2 price catagory again if people are intersted in a $40 catagory.

I'm interested!  Especially if we can ask for more non-pony things.  I loved the random swap so much!  And especially if it is just the decorations that are Wintery and the items can be random collection stuff and/or ponies.

Truevampiress and I were going to do the Disney swap but we got the feeling that the original poster wanted to do it and we backed off, didn't want to step on anyone's toes. That was the last I heard about that swap.

Anyways off to harass a off topic mod about this  :biggrin:

^.^ Thank You

EDIT

sent a PM to kasokat. I am gonna have to change the name though since shipping would be in september instead of july for a full 2 months of shopping time....

I was thinking "let it snow" swap since that keeps the wintery theme going or maybe something else? Very Merry Unborthday?

I think Very Merry Unbirthday would be a neat name. Somehow "Christmas in September" just doesn't have the same ring haha.

Oooo... A Very Merry Unbirthday sounds fun!  Even if it's not :xmas: - it still sounds like loads of fun! :woohoo:

I am sorry but I'm afraid the mod team has decided to decline this swap at this time. There is concern that the swap levels are too high so we would prefer you not host it at this time. It may be up for reconsideration at a later date.
Title: Re: Christmas in Juy Swap - interest??
Post by: little.fox on June 23, 2013, 03:03:36 AM
Ok, I am confused as that is exactly the same levels as you did last time. Oh well, they must have their reasons.
Personally I'll wait and keep my figers crossed that there will be a random section in this years holiday swaps!

Maybe they will give it another shot later on :) if they aprove it for another time, I'll be sure to slip in a request to join. I've learned my lesson about the previous swap, and I am trying my best to redeem myself.

I do wonder if our MIA person may be a part of the reason. Daiyu had higher feedback for selling/trading then quite a few other participants  -_-. But Yuru ended up with a sweet box in the end from all the people who volunteered to help Mia send a replacement.  :biggrin:

I wonder if there is a way to host a swap via facebook...?

Hmmm that's an interesting idea, tiki. Or perhaps those interested could set up private swaps between two people.

I should be able to make a page where you need to apply so it is NOT open to the public but it would be a pain in the rump because most people use their real names on FB not their user ID so telling who is who would be a challange.
