I'm on a coin budget, so l like to keep things under 300,000 Won.
I have very few PCGS coins but I can get some in from China if needed.
If there is someone who knows nothing about coins, I like to trade with him.
I hope this starts soon, because I'm running out of room in my closet.

I'll join in. Please try to find me someone into Mercs, or moderns, that doesn't mind raw coins. as I have no (top) certified coins right now.
Anyone says they want to start a circ, Merc album could get a good start.
I also have circ walkers on hand. As you can see from my giveaway.
Of course I'll swap with anyone, but want my partner to be happy.

(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
I've been out of the loop for some time now and I would like to join up again for
one of your Swaps. Do you need me to send my info? I'm still @ the same place.
Just been hibernating. I'm presently collecting Merc's, Franklin's and Roosies from
the 40's and 50's. At present $50-$100 to start out trading sounds good.
I'm on a coin budget, so l like to keep things under 300,000 Won.
$320.00-$325.00 is this your allowance? Is this monthly? I remember those days....
Thanks Headsplitter2

Soon we will be having
1- The Halloween Swap
2- The Thanksgiving Swap
3- The Christmas/ New Year's Bash.
It's great fun so long as everyone abides by simple "Common Sense Rules of Coin-Swapping" which actually are NOT rules but guidelines to go by to make sure all runs smoothly/ that all material arrives and lastly, that all swaps are declared equitable or NOT!
I strongly encourage ALL swappers NOT to hold things in or permit them to fester, eventually turning into Grudges.
If we ALL simply treat one another the way We would like to be treated, there would NEVER BE any "Issues."
Thanx all.
P.S. I am doing my utmost to keep tabs on everyone yet I get this feeling that many are holding things back, to themselves instead of coming to me. If you have Issues, I NEED TO KNOW!
Now, how in the World can I keep accurate summations if I am not given input in the event there is a "situation"?
You're NOT RATTING someone out! I NEED to know these thing, so help me out here, will ya? Why, so far, such a poor turn-out? Is something going on that I am not being told?
If ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, I CAN post Feedback ratings openly for all to see. Do we REALLY need to go there?
I am as near as your PM box or email and if necessary, by telephone.
I AM IN!
Pending your approval, of course!
TorinoCobra71
Yes, you certainly may.
PEOPLE, I DO NOT READ MINDS. IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION PLEASE DO ME A HUGE FAVOR & ENLIGHTEN ME. We are a small group and you very well may be matched up with the same partner you've had very recently. If THIS is a problem - LET ME KNOW!
If anyone (for whatever reason except selfishness) has a problem being paired with any given member, I should have ALREADY been notified. Before these pairings are etched in stone, if such is the case let me know ASAP!
As such, here are the pairings:
Boom will swap with Doc Mortar AND TC71, either one on one or in a 3-Way. It matters not to me.
Bstat1020 swaps with Zug & vice-versa
Brother Slipgate will swap with Brother HeadSplitter2
Aija will swap with Conqueror65 & vice-versa
lonelyp will swap with bgman & vice-versa
If there are ANY problems I need to know NOW! If better pairings can be made to help accomodate bgman, lonelyp and headsplitter2 we can discuss this later today.
Let's try something different this time. Any of you ever hear that ole saying "KISS" - Keep it simple, Stupid?
Here's how this goes down. I am VERY ADAMANT about the following.
THERE WILL BE NO PLACING UNDUE STRESS OR UNREALISTIC DEMANDS ON YOUR PARTNERS. Some are able to go out & buy what you like but for Pete's sake, if this is NOT within a Member's means, LIVE WITH IT AND BE GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO ACCEPT WHAT IS SENT (within reason) EVEN IF IT MEANS YOU SET IT ASIDE TO USE IN FUTURE SWAPS.
Remember, I have files on everyone and they are kept up to date with information/ feedback from what I see and hear. REPEATED VIOLATIONS to the aforementioned Rule will result in no longer being permitted to take part in future swaps. If I talk to you about it Once, be advised that there will be NO SECOND TALK. The AXE will fall but I sincerely hope it never comes to this.
RIGHT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD I NOTE THAT AT LEAST 6 OF OUR BEST SWAPPERS ARE NOT TAKING PART & I INTEND TO FIND OUT WHY.
OK .... SOOOOOOOOO
1- Communicate and agree upon a comfortable figure. We DO NOT trade off Crap in exchange for GOOD STUFF & VICE-VERSA.
2- Common sense and Courtesy -
3- If you are going to exchange certified for certified .. . PCGS for NGC - BE FAIR about it. By this I mean. Per Today's Illusion of a Market, PCGS' Price Guide applies to PCGS certified coins only. If one exchanges NGC for PCGS let it be as follows: NGC certified coins (if using the Guide) will be, at best = 80% of said Guide. "Other" slabs will be at a lesser rate. You may choose to bypass this but must be in agreement BEFOREHAND. USE YOUR HEADS! We are talking about COINS - NOT PLASTIC, OK?
D'uh, there ARE PQ coins in BOTH holders just as there are overgraded and or UNDERGRADED! It's OK to swap (and I encourage & endorse) swapping coins and to FORGET Plastic. You may swap raw coins but again, one may not use the PCGS Guide for RAW coins. PEOPLE, you're going to have to work together which ALL points back to #1 - COMMUNICATION, OK? Agree on a figure and make it happen. If there be any doubt - ADD MORE!
4- Once terms have been mutually agreed upon .... once you have the goods in your posession - come to these Boards and post it.
5- When you mail the Goods - Come to this thread and Post Delivery Confirmation Numbers that WILL BE CHECKED by yours truly.
6- It would be prudent to also insure your items as things DO happen. This is the MAIN reason for posting Del Conf #s.
7- Upon receipt of goods, you are NOT at Liberty to do anything with what is sent until BOTH have declared the swap Mutually satisfactory by posting here AGAIN! Before this transpires, if you feel shorted, sit tight on what you have received AND TELL YOUR PARTNER. Resolve issues amongst yourselves however, if this is NOT POSSIBLE you have 2 options: 1) Immediately return one anothers' goods or 2) Come to me and I will attempt to mediate as fairly and unbiased as possible.
In closing, permit me to say that it SOUNDS A LOT MORE COMPLICATED than it REALLY IS! It's actually quite simple & revolves around Ethics, Communication and Common Sense. By now this should come quite naturally to you all.
Communication, Courtesy, Common Sense are Paramount. Agreement, posting it, prudent shipping and CLOSING on Good Terms and letting everyone know by POSTING IT is as simple as it gets! That's a wrap.
Now, let's get at it and enjoy our Hobby. Say Good-Bye to Summer and Hello Autumn! Let's have some FUN!

This may take some time, but I'm sure we'll both be happy in the end.

<< <i>Aija and I might have something in the works. He and I collect coins with totally different goals( his being correct). Aija came up with the idea I think will make both of us happy, and I truely will thank him for that. So, what turnout to be a difficult paring, is turning into a great swap. Thanks Aija and Boom.
John
So what kind of creative swapping is in the works. Just a general idea could help myself and others think outside the box.

I'm happy to see Millertime joined the swap. And is tacking my place with Bgman.
My brother is in ICU, but is stable. Lots of broken bones, and other problems.
We thank you for your thoughts, in this bad time.

I'm going to move to China and start selling some real American coins on ebay.
