Other Collection Swap?

[Sora]

This is just an idea I've been toying around with. I know there's a few swaps going on right now, but what about an 'Other Collection' swap?

Basically, any non-MLP collection allowed (within reason of course!) with a limit of maybe $15 or $20? Perhaps people could list at least two other side collections in case the main collection is difficult to obtain? With pony extras welcome as always?

I've been itching to do a swap for other collections! Any interest?

[Eviecorn]

Hmmm, sounds interesting.  Would these be toy collections only?

[kaoskat]

Does sound interesting. Best of luck!

Nope, any sort of collection!

It is a good idea! I'd be interested but I find it difficult to justify the money. But I'll definitely consider it!!

How exactly would this work?  Everyone list their collections, and people swap them the items that they, individually collect; that is to say, not everyone sending the same kind of thing?


I think it could be cool!  I don't have enough feedback to participate myself, but it sounds like it could be a lot of fun!

Sounds fun. I wouldn't be able to join if it happens too soon though. My money is tied up in other things.

I think I'd be terrified to get the wrong thing. Like a non pony collectors wouldn't know a fakie and I can only imagine what would happen if I had to buy, say Manga figures, for someone.

I suppose that, for the most part, some research would be required at first. I've been sending gifts to people who collect all sorts of merch and so far, I've never sent anyone the wrong item, even if I've been unfamiliar with the subject. I have a couple of non-pony collectors who don't care much for MLP, but they can easily identify an official pony from a fakie. It might just be a collectors instinct so to speak, for some people!
But I can certainly see your concern.

Basically, yes! Even if it doesn't go through as a full swap, I'd still like to trade privately otherwise.

I wouldn't mind taking part. My pony collecting has stalled, but I do collect other stuff...
