Description:

I am mostly on Swap-Bot to expand my stamp collection and I'm impatient for more postage stamp swaps, so I thought I'd create my own (and if it works out make it a series)!

For this scavenger hunt you will send 1 partner:

  1. Five (5) profile-related stamps.

  2. Ten (10) extra stamps from your collection--anything you are willing to send, sender's choice.

  3. A mint stamp from your country. If your partner is from the same country, send something unusual, old, and/or, if you are feeling generous, an entire set.

  4. Five (5) topical stamps. For this round the topic is the choice of the 1st person to sign up! MBlunt has chosen for this round: Animals!

  5. 2 stamp bags (new or already circulating). (See below--you are not required to receive these if you do not want them).

  6. One (1) of the following:

--Extra stamp bags (any amount).

--OR damaged stamps for crafting (any amount).

--OR duplicates of the above stamps for trading (any amount).

--OR a stamped postcard.

--OR Profile surprise, handmade or otherwise (which doesn't have to be stamp related)!

Numbers 2-6 are sender's choice, but it is nice to send something your partner likes. Only #1 is based on your profile or preferences, but feel free to post below any other preferences, especially for #6! Also, just to get more participants, if you do not want stamp bags at all, post this as well, but there is no requirement to include a substitution. Please honor if your partner does not want them. This is a cause for rating down so make sure to check!

OK, I'm fairly new to Swap-bot and have never hosted before, so bear with me. If there is anything not clear or could be improved just PM me or post below.

Please no ratings under 4.9. Should have finished at least 5 non-email swaps. I'm giving you 3 weeks to send this swap because of its complexity, but really unless your collection is small, the point is to not spend a lot of money...if any. Just make sure you put together a package you would like to receive...and of course, send your package on time!

And just to clarify, you are sending at least a total of 21 (oops...accidentally said 16 before...I guess I can't add) stamps, 10 your choice, one mint, 5 topical (animals for this round), and 5 profile or preference related, plus a choice from the list (#6) and 2 stamp bags (if your partner wants them). Rate down only if you do not receive all the requirements, including you do not get 5 profile/preference-based stamps, or your partner sends stamp bags when you indicated you don't want them. Sorry if this is confusing!

My preferences for stamps are on my profile at the bottom, and I have no preference for #6.

For topic #4 I sugest: Animals

What's a mint stamp?

erikawithak 06/19/2012 #

@annaraphaldini -a mint stamp is brand new, unused.

My preferences for the stamps are on my profile, for 6 please do not send me damaged stamps - I don't need them.

@mag Sorry to hear you won't be able to participate! I'll let you know if I post another. I will be doing so if this one goes well!

I can take any amount of damaged stamps ;) Just as long as most of the image is undamaged. ;)
