Don't let it get you down, OK .... you & Paul still have the rest of us.
BTW, this is just 1 reason why I keep sheets on everyone. Something is wrong here & it's not just an isolated case.
Way too many people come in and don't take part again.
People, if there are issues you REALLY SHOULD come to me!
One problem we(I) have is: I don't feel YOU should be held responsable for a swap gone bad, just because you cooridinate the swaps.
A possible solution for the future is if we all set up a pool.
If we all sent you 1 or 2 certified coins or NICE raw coins, to be held for this pool. When a swap is deemed to be a bad (one way) swap. You make up a "suprize me" type package out of this pool.
A donation to the pool could be added to the requirements to join the "swap club".
If after a package has been sent from the pool, the BAD SWAPPER sends a package after all. that package is added to the pool.
I could start it off with that 39-D Walker I just won from you. Not certified but a very nice coin.
Let me know what you think. I have to go to work now.
Paul
(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
Don't worry Boyz, Daddy knows who's who & what's what!
I try my best to lead by example. Keyword, "Try".
All those words you guys refer to as "Rules", I try to abide by myself - ask my partners..... just start with my last one and work backwards.
I Trust that if any of my partners is ever not satisfied, he or she would simply let me know.
Hopefully one day, some people around here will come to know how truly Good it feels to Give/ to make someone else Happy.
One more thing. I'm going to say this for the record:
I HAD posted a copy of the Cashiers Check that was made out to the K of C Council 12997 for the money raised for Christmas above and beyond funds that came from yours truly but thought it wasn't such a great idea to post it for all the world to see.
Needless to say, I have the original receipt and the photographed copy, should anyone ever want "Full Disclosure" again. On it is written, just as I said would be, "From the Friends at PCGS" (whether you gave or NOT!)
Never again will I be publicly grilled or humbled the way I once was when my World was shattered to bits, couldn't think straight yet still got it done and have chosen to forgive & forget.
A motion was made at the meeting with the help of a past Grand Knight along with the present Grand Knight. The motion was seconded and unanimously passed and NOW and FOREVER, as recorded in the minutes of the meeting, there are funds set aside which come thru me to be distributed to the specific causes I mentioned.
The K of C IS a Registered Charity and I have documentation right here to prove it.
In order for funds to be run thru the Knights of Columbus and distributed through them, the Money would have had to have been collected and the check turned over at the beginning of December, at our Monthly 2nd Wednesday of the Month meeting.
This was taken care of by ME and that money went towards buying Food Baskets, complete with Turkeys and all the fixings for those able to cook, toys distributed thru and BY the Organization, a Registered Charity. Funds for the St. Francis Diner had already been donated BEFORE our little "Drive" ever commenced.
What I am getting at is this. Besides what I chose to donate prior to what was raised during December was Finished Business before the Drive began. With this in mind, coupled with what I did on my own ANONYMOUSLY, at the December meeting I also had a long talk with a past Grand Knight along with our present Grand Knight.
The funds raised from the results of all my listings of One specific Week as well as what was donated by a certain few here (In this very group and a couple other kind souls) besides that had already been done by yours truly, was then motioned, seconded and passed unanimously at the January Meeting and is forever recorded as such in the Council's minutes, ALL the proceeds was presented in the form of a certified Bank Check and is set aside already for NEXT CHRISTMAS and I thank ALL of you.
Should anyone care to see it, I have the Original receipt along with a receipt from the Council Treasurer. I have it and am quite prepared to show it. Being unsure as to whether or not it would be a good idea to post here, I elected not to but can email a copy of it to interested parties as well as those who gave.
I'll mull it over - but please feel free to give me some input, if you care to, as to whether or not you think I should post a picture of the actual check. It's not much but it IS every last cent raised from the aforementioned actions and from donors that KNOW who they are.
The Nonsensical BS that has somehow crept into and permeates these swaps is going to STOP, effective IMMEDIATELY.
People that lack the common courtesy to thank their respective partners and to check to see if their respective swaps are deemed "mutually acceptable" will no longer be permitted to participate in the swaps, whether you all choose to call them BOOM's Swaps or "Club Swaps."
I am a very easy going person who tries to see the Good in everyone. There are many good people here. Unfortunately, however, there ARE some here that are NOT abiding by simple guidelines - dragging their asses or simply put, are "Takers" or the demanding, selfish type that I choose NOT to associate myself with or have ruin these swaps.
As such, unless they cease and desist from such childish, self-centered, non-complying activity and make things right, LIKE NOW, they NO LONGER will be Welome here .... and THAT is The Bottom Line. I know who "La creme de la creme" are around here just as I know the exact opposite. This is supposed to be about fraternity and sharing a Hobby that we ALL enjoy. Takers are DONE until they step up and do the right things.
Good Day, Ladies!

******************************************************************************************
TO ALL PARTIES INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR SWAPS, I NEED you to ...
Look thru opening posts/ past recent swaps for the "Common Sense Rules of Coin Swapping."
After reading and familiarizing yourself with them I need ALL you verifiable contact information because a sheet will be made out for you as is the case with everyone else.
Name
Address
Ph #
Cell # (if applicable)
eBay ID
email address
Collecting Interests as well as possible collecting accomplishments.
I need as much info about you as I can get so I may pair you with people of similar means.
If you have references from prior dealings w/ fellow forum members, I need their Names & IDs too.
Best Wishes,
Boom
I appreciate what Boom has done in getting these swaps setup, I think he is a great guy just from the postings he has done and the PM's I have received from him.
Second,
When I was matched with Bigtime36 I had no information about him at all, when we first communicated and I mentioned my area's of interest he replied that he did not have much but would try to find something for me. At that point I did a little research on Bigtime36 to see if there were things he may have commented on for his area of interest. I had found various items that he was looking for in the BST, it happened I had an over abundance of items that he was interested in, many of which I would not have ever listed in my auctions due to the low value and time it would take to go through it all. I also found that Bigtime36 is a new father of twins. As a father of three children (all grown now) I can understand how money is tight expecially around Christmas, I told Bigtime36 that I would rather he not send anything and that he spend them money on his family. When my children were young my entire collection had to be sold piece by piece to cover the bills. I could see the same thing happening with him. I made this a Christmas Gift!
Third,
I want Bigtime36 to keep all the items I sent and accept them as a gift. My disappiontment was that he did not acknowledge the gift at the time. That is my fault for posting that on the board, a gift should not have to be acknowledged.
Fourth,
I appreciate the PM's I have received from those that would be willing to trade, but as I stated in the Superbowl Swap I am going to pass.
I never intended for this to go this far, and I apologize to Bigtime36 for any hard feeling this may have caused towards him.
It's time for a break from the boards, it seems the entire PCGS Forum has taken a very negative tone the past few months and that's not really something I want to be a part of anymore.
Thanks to all.

Member PCGS Open Forum board 2002 - 2006 (closed end of 2006) Current board since 2006 Successful trades with many members, over the past two decades, never a bad deal.
I have to open my big mouth again!
Or is that my heavy fingers?
You wrote...."That is my fault for posting that on the board, a gift should not have to be acknowledged."
I would have to disagree, IMO a gift should be acknowledged as much as a swap. At least in a PM.
A simple, "Got it, thanks" at least.
I had a swap with a YN. Just started collecting & didn't have much.
I decided that he probably did not have anything I really wanted/needed, so I just sent him a nice coin in the denomination he liked.
He sent me a nice PM when it arrived & thanked me.
Gee, it wasn't so hard & made me feel good about sending it out.
I received a gift for Christmas, unsolicited. Once I found out who it was I sent out a PM thanking him.
The least I could do.
Not looking to chastise Bigtime 36, but can understand where Tim is coming from.
Boom, as for anything to do with your charity is a non-issue here IMO.
Everyone that participate in these swap do so of our own free will.
Those that would question your integrety can just stay away from these swaps.
That should be the end of the story.
As far as your comment, "Takers are DONE until they step up and do the right things.".
I'm not sure if the "Takers" know they are "Takers".
I know I have felt bad because after setting a $$ amount, I sent out my package & one of the "Givers" sent coins that made me go "WOW".
I would suggest PM go out to every person that wants in, letting them know whether they're in 'great standing', 'good standing', 'shaking standing' or 'make things right' standing.
lonelyp, I think the idea has been kicked around before. Mixed feelings about this. It feels somewhat like it's OK for a swapper to flake out on a swap because the other member will be made whole.
Personally I would suggest a $$ tiered swap, newbies limited to $50(?). Then the limit increased with each successful swap.
Maybe a decrease if the swap was less than smooth.
This has been said before, but it bears repeating, COMMUNICATION.
It's not always about the amount of time it takes to ship, but rather the lack of communication that will pizz someone off.
Having said all that, I hope I am in good enough standing to be allowed in on this swap.
GO Packers!
Jim

I see your point and would not want to give anyone the impression that flaking out on a swap is OK. Suggesting that newbies keep swap values down, untill they have had a few swaps is also a very good idea IMO.
Jim,
If anyone had bad thoughts about you, they should have been laid to rest by Tim's post. I want you to know nothing I have said was in any way aimed at you.
Paul
(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?
This place is constantly a learning experience.
If you enjoyed the swaps, please stay.
Hearing the whole story, it sounds like a misunderstanding and nothing intentional on your part....or Texast's (at least with you).
Coming on and replying is BIG on your part and should be commended.
The problem with all this is that now it looks like we're 'losing' 2 swappers.
I hope you both reconsider & join in.
To Tim's comment, "It seems the entire PCGS Forum has taken a very negative tone the past few months and that's not really something I want to be a part of anymore.",
unfortunately I have to agree.
You have to be thick skinned or be Teflon Man to survive.
And I'm no Teflon Man!
All I can do is share my opinions, keep to the facts (as I see them), and be as respectful as I can be.
At least I try to be.
Augie
Edited because I saw the reply from Boom to Jim regarding the trade with Tim!
There has to be a limit to the amount of times you can pull the "I'm a (newbie/new father/new mother/vet/cripple/etc.) & don't have much to swap"
I would say the limit is ONCE.
After that don't participate until you have some coins to swap.
Many here have big hearts, too big if you ask me.
It's just not fair to your swap partner on many levels if a 'swap' becomes a one way street.
And although this is somewhat directed at Jim, it really is meant for those looking to participate in a swap without anything to really swap.
Once this little oversight is remedied I would welcome anyone to participate.
JMHO
As stated, knowing I'd come out on the short end didn't phase me at all because I wanted your 1st swap to be one to remember! It was my choice to take you anyway.
OK, so you wanted in for the 2nd swap. At that point you should have either been straightforward with texast and agree to a minimum swap using what you have on hand OR be able to afford to at least purchase one coin within that minimum range that interests your partner. If NOT possible, you should AT LEAST send your partner SOMETHING and should have publicly thanked him before what has NOW transpired.
I am NOT singling you out nor am I coming down on you BUT the moment you KNEW that you could NOT fulfill his needs or interests (which NEED to be equitable) you should have let texast know in no uncertain terms, that the swap was NOT to take place! Actually, I BELIEVE that you DID just that and texast, despite knowing the facts, sent coins to you anyway, of his own accord. He's that way! HE IS A GIVER.
OK, so NOW you have some nice coins. It's certainly NOT time to hit & run! Rather, it is YOUR TURN to swap equitably or in favor of your NEXT partner. I have seen, as have many others, people post that they are looking for or need certain coins for their collections or perhaps for the YN in the family AND people with BIG HEARTS GIVE them the coins they "want", simply because they ARE that way, asking nothing in return!
When you, or anyone else, ASKS to be a part of a club SWAP .... THAT IS EXACTLY what you do - SWAP. It's NOW time for YOU to be a GIVER!
You asked twice and now have coins to swap. I suggest you show "Good Faith" and even out the kharma. No more One way deals around here. Step up and stand up. THINK ABOUT IT!
Peace,
Boom
