New Swap

Louie · February 15, 2003 1:01AM

Okay, so many of you guys have expressed interest in another swap and so many have received nice packages, me especially, that I am taking orders for the next swap. Same rules except that I will be putting each person who signs up with a number and the swaps will be drawn out of a hat. That way nobody is given a raw deal, except that I will check to insure that nobody sends to or receives from the same person in the valentine's day swap. Will close this out, unless somebody objects, the end of the month. Okay, let's go. Louie

Mike Dixon properly corrected me on a little bit of oversight. Naturally the trade will be a minimum of 30.00 but the maximum is left to the individual sender.

JoeHolt · February 15, 2003 11:04AM

i want in the next one
thankyou
joe

I have never done it before, but heck put my name in the hat. Any additional tips for the newbies will be appreciated.

Count me in again also

achtey · February 16, 2003 3:56PM

Do you have to swap graded coins or can I swap raw coins? I'm just wondering. Let me know, and maybe I'll join in too.

Count me out. I did one swap at Christmas and I got the short end of the stick. I know it's better to give than receive thans why I didn't say anything (until now). I gave probably $30 wholesale, plus six bucks to ship. I got no more than 5 bucks of modern foreign pocket change. Good luck on your swap.

Louie · February 21, 2003 5:45AM

AgentJim007, sorry you feel this way. Was it one of the swaps that I hosted? If it was, wish you would have let me know. I would have made up the difference to you in my own coins. Louie

Tade · February 22, 2003 11:00PM

AgentJim007:

You at least got something, Ritchiewan was to send to me and nothing came at all. Michael Dixon was in
charge and he, like Louie, offered to make it up at their own expense.

I turned Michael down, as I have been in about 6 swaps and I have gotten to know some really nice
members through them (Michael included). It has been worth the money.

I don't use wholesale costs, I use RedBook. Being a chump, I usually pay way over their prices for anything in my collection.

Stay in Jim, I think it is worth it and if get your name, no foriegn coins - well maybe a few.

Count me in.

GaCoinGuy · February 23, 2003 2:55AM

I'm in I reckon...........

Achtey, raw or slabbed, it doesn't matter to most swappers........talk to whoever you swap with and get an idea of what they collect and try to find something you think they might like. I usually try to send a variety of different coins, mostly raw in slabbable grades and maybe a couple slabs.

Louie · February 24, 2003 10:53PM

Only three more days left before this swap is closed out. Anybody else want in? Will assign numbers to all participants, drop them into a bowl and the wife will pick out the numbers. I will notify all of who is to send to whom on 1 March. Louie

Mrpawn · February 25, 2003 9:45AM

OK, count me into this one too

Louie · February 25, 2003 11:55PM

Okay, guys, only three days left to get in on this one. When it closes at 1200 midnight EST, that will be it. I know a trader wanted in on the last one after it closed. If you're interested then get on board. I will make this statement. One trader said he was not in because he got a lousy swap. If there is anyone who does get a lousy swap in this one, I will personally send additional coins to compensate that trader. I can't do any better than that. Louie

Twowood · February 26, 2003 6:41AM

OKAY Louie, count me in.
I was in a Christmas swap and I feel very bad about the results. The person who got my name sent me a GREAT gift...several coins, pads, pens,candy and flips.
I, on the other hand, couldn't get my person to answer my email so I got a free ride.
If you have anyone on your list who was "Stiffed", please assign him to me. I want to do extra good for someone. Thanx. Twowood

achtey · February 26, 2003 7:38AM

I'm in, just let me know what's up.

bgman · February 26, 2003 3:50PM

Count me in. Thanks

Randy

aeast236 · February 27, 2003 8:32AM

Thanks,

Louie · February 27, 2003 9:31AM

Got 13 as of the present time. Only a day and a half left.

Louie · February 28, 2003 10:57PM

Okay, time is up. Here is the results: Person should contact person to whom he is sending and get address and wants/needs/desires, etc., so that a suitable swap maybe can be made. Louie

Louie · March 1, 2003 7:41AM

Okay, got a problem. One of the swappers indicated he got the same trader as he did in the last swap and wanted to see if I could do anything. Here is what I come up with and hope others do not have the same problem.

Hopefully this will cause too much problems as it is still new and maybe people have not contacted the wrong people. This change only effects: Mr. Pawn, GaCoinNewbie, Joe Holt and rd5425. Let me know

Twowood · March 6, 2003 9:13PM

Hey Louie; Please EM me. I guess my PM's haven't gotten thru to you. I need your name,address etc. to send you your gift. Thanx Twowood (WJJENK@AOL.COM)

GaCoinGuy · March 10, 2003 7:53AM

Got my swap package from MrPawn today..............real nice package......

First out of the gate is a super nice 1992 Silver Proof Set(I swear this Washington could go 70).........
Next we have an 1877 Seated Dime in EF that is a super upgrade from my cleaned AG one in my Dansco........
Then a trio of GB large pennies in VF-UNC......an 1863, a 1936, and a 1962......

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

And, JoeHolt, your package is on the way as of this afternoon........

Mrpawn · March 11, 2003 2:50AM

Received a great package from M Dixon today: a 1955-S Lincoln PCGS MS66RD that will help my Type Set and an attractive 1943 Walking Liberty that will upgrade the one in my Grandson's Dansco
Thank you from both of us.

GaCoinNewbie,
Glad that you liked the coins. Finding them was fun as well. I hope that if you do send that quarter in that you get a 70.

achtey · March 13, 2003 2:43PM

I got my package from BGMAN. It was great!!!!!!! Everything in there was soooooo cool. I even got my first peace dollar. I love it. Thanks for everything bgman. I hope tander was happy with what I sent. Let me know.

Tade · March 15, 2003 1:04AM

Got my package a couple days ago from aeast296 and was very pleased. Given that I wanted quarters if
possibke, he sent me 6 and I needed 5 of them, and the 6th was better than I had before.

I love these swaps.
