It's been a while. I see our last swap thread is nowhere in sight therefore consider this a BRAND NEW SWAP THREAD
Anyone that wants to participate in a Labor Day/ Back to School Swap headed by ME, sign up to THIS THREAD which cancels out any prior one(s) headed by me thereby superceding any remnant thereof..OK !
Anyone that has participated in a swap headed by me SHOULD KNOW the "rules" and that I work to keep everything running smoothly, keeping everything as simple as possible. Instead of making things all complicated I have people swap with one another. THE REASON (KISS- KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID) ... when 2 people swap with one another there is no 3rd cog in the wheel and less chance of somebody getting skrewed....You are working ONE ON ONE with YOUR PARTNER. AMEN?
Everyone knows that I have set "COMMON SENSE" rules in place
1- TREAT YOUR PARTNER THE WAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED ! This IS NOT a "GET RID OF CRAP I DO NOT WANT ANY MORE" and "HOPE I GET SOME GOOD STUFF IN RETURN" outlet.
2- We agree on a set MINIMUM, agreeing to real world pricing.
3- We DO NOT place unreal demands on our partners thereby FORCING them to run out and BUY something that you collect, OR ELSE...THAT does not work here.
4- NO "HIT AND RUN NEWBIE" will participate in ANY SWAP run by me unless first screened and approved by me. In all likelihood I, as coordinator, will assume responsibility for the newbies I allow in as it is only right that if such a trader winds up being a "NO GO" that it would be ME that should incur the loss. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF SUCH NEWBIES THAT I ALLOWED IN THAT PROMISED THE MOON AND SURE ENOUGH./...DID NOT COME THROUGH !! THESE PEOPLE KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND THEY WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY SWAP RUN BY ME UNTIL THEY RECTIFY THE WRONG THEY HAVE DONE.
5- I initiated the BLACKLIST of SCAMMERS. When such people do so, you are to first let me know if all atempts have failed and their NAMES WILL BE PLASTERED all over until they step forward with a PUBLIC EXPLANATION.
6- This is supposed to be fun and for the enjoyment of our hobby, a great way to make friends with people we otherwise would not have had a chance to. You are to be FAIR with one another, COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR PARTNER and for God's sake...........
7- USE COMMON SENSE and protect yourselves by at least sending your packages with Delivery Confirmation, if not Insured WITH Delivery Confirmation.
8- Believe me, my plate is full enough and the last thing I need is a bunch of "school boy ninny baby crap" from a bunch of supposed to be MATURE Coin Collectors. If you DO NOT LIKE the way I have run the swaps in the past by all means just say so and I will step down in a heartbeat.

I guess this 73 year old collector/swapper is just too old to conduct these any more and will cease to do so and leave it up to the youngsters like Boom to properly handle one.
Sorry for any mistakes made in the past and remember guys, most of you will get to this age soon and will probably go through the same problems as I am. Louie
Also, I am into this swap.
Hey Boom
Any room left in the swap for a returnee to the swapping world
Kingpin
The dog is back, and feeling pretty good now.
if not to late or bammed- I'm in for the fun of it.
Dog is feeling much better today.
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
Engage your ability to accept and to send PMs. Unless you DO engage the ability to send and receive Private Meassages and or provide ME with a valid email address, I'm sorry but you will not be allowed to take part.
I am responsible for the welfare of the group and you MUST make yourself accessable and verifiable to ME. Obviously you would also need this feature to correspond with your swap-mate, if accepted. Email me at quarterguy@bellsouth.net - See that little keyhole( second little icon atop and to the right)? Send me a Private Message with all your verifiable delivery information. (Name, address and email address).
Had you set yourself up in this fashion I would have told you this privately but since you do not, I have no alternative but to address you publicly. "2bucks" had asked to take part, the guy right above you, and he was also so advised to do the same and he did comply.
You are more than welcome to ask him yourself. I STRONGLY advise you to go to the opening post of this thread written by me, read it and decide whether you wish to comply and really take part with full knowledge and understanding of those rules. From there you are to comply with this request or you will not be permitted to take part.
This is obviously nothing personal but rather just the way it is as I must assure the safety of all involved here.

until later on today... i hope that is enough to verify myself. the second one is obviously my gov email... so let me know if im in or not. thanks, and sorry for the delay.
Bearing this in mind, I am still allowing for latecomers (afterall, Mail does not run till Monday) here are your pairings. I urge you all to contact your partners, to be realistic and not place undue demands or stress on him or her. The MINIMUM is $50, HOWEVER, if you and your partner want to agree to a higher amount amongst yourselves there is nothing that prohibits this. Just treat each other fairly and make sure you agree on pricing structure. With this group I do not foresee any problems. 2Bucks is approved and again, 30AnvZ28 is also a yes.
OK....the pairings:
Millertime swaps with Kingpin and vice versa
Arlea swaps with eyoung429 and vice versa
Louie swaps with 2Bucks and vice versa
Capstick swaps with ASnovelli and vice versa
JohnK swaps with Morganhunter and vice versa
B00M swaps with Manofcoins and vice versa
Musky 1011 swaps with 30AnvZ28 with and vice
For the most part this is a very seasoned group of swappers that are all trustworthy. Again, I submit to you all that MOST OF ALL, we have fun and treat each other well...the way we would like to be treated. Communication between swap partners is Paramount.
Bare in mind that this is mostly commonsense, fairness and by all means DO protect yourselves by insuring your goods and be able to produce Delivery Confirmation information(Track and Confirm) should it become an issue. For minimum money you can protect yourselves and produce Proof positive that you have indeed shipped as stated. If I have paired anyone up unintentionally with the very same person I did last time and this is not to your liking, by all means draw this to my attention immediately.
If I see that I will lose power due to this Hurricane I will appoint a "coordinator pro-tem". If this Hurricane hits all I ask for is your prayers bit having been exposed to some real Monsters since childhood I can truthfully say that I am not afraid and if for some reason the unthinkable happens, just remember ole B00M in your Prayers, OK? We all have to check out sometime and I'm not running. I'll be right here just like I've been for every one that has hit us ever since I was a kid.
This swap is still open pending hearing from Mojoman and to allow for late comer. Let's make this yet another successful swap and continue to enjoy our collective hobby at it's grass roots level.
Any problems or questions should be brought to my attention ASAP. Thanx...now, Let's get it on !

I am currently in Japan, but with an APO address... so shipping will be just as if I was in the states, or you can send it to my grandparents in Ohio. Depending on what I send you... they will be shipped from here in Japan, or in Ohio. I have found some coins over here at a dealer (US Coins yes) that I have never seen before, and im planning on heading out there Friday for another round. My pm's are also turned on now. Let me know your preferences.

Boom I hope you are ok- and that you are able to get back on line soon.
now I have another pretty coin for my collection.

Edited to add that when swapping if you just ask yourselves, "How would I feel if I received this" it would sure make for GREAT swaps and of course, a little common sense, like insuring your packages and adding Delivery Confirmation for Track & Confirm purposes sure helps prevent a lot of these so-called "lost" packages and thus, hard feelings. I am responsible for screening those that seek to partake and there will be no newbies that hit and run, getting a bunch of goodies, sending nothing and then high tailing it, never to be heard from again. Oh, uh-uh! NOT !!
