Hi all
Eddy Vervloet, a micro collector, has come up with an excellent idea for getting an International trade going. See Mindat post http://www.mindat.org/mesg-60-141202.html
As an extension to this, I have suggested a quarterly International Micro Super Swap, an idea similar to a watercolour painting swap that I participate in. The details are shown below.
Let me know if you think that you would be interested in participating. Email micros...@crocoite.com
-------------------------------------------------------
I think that it would be good to have an "International Micro Super Swap" in addition to "Around the world in 8 micros". I think that the two can be complementary. I'll put some feelers out to other like-minded groups and individuals.
I'd suggest the rules be along the lines of:
[list]
[*] 8 micros in a swap
[*] A swap every 3 months
[*] Names drawn from two hats, first one drawn out of Hat A sends to first one drawn out of Hat B, 2nd to 2nd, etc.
[*] A redraw option if recipient for a sender is the same as the previous swap, or if name out of each hat is the same person
[*] Only the sender (and the swap manager) know who is the recipient of which package
[*] If there is an odd-number of swappers, the last name drawn sends to the first recipient (who effectively receives 2 packages)
[*] Swappers can leave or join any swap
[*] Swappers must confirm that they are IN any new swap before names are drawn
[*] Each sender bears the cost of postage and packing
[/list]
I've set up a special email address for anyone interested - microswap AT crocoite DOT com
Regards
Steve
