Don't know if I'll be able to get in on this one but here's a little info/experience from the last one that happened right before winter.

We decied on saize, 5 poylops. You could sign up for as many trades as you wanted. Once paried up, you discussed with your partner as to how many frags you would trade. Scribe was the one who headed up the last one and you may be able to glen some info from him. Not sure how he paired people up. Once paierd, he sent out PM's to let peopel know who they were paired up with.

Some experineces I had.

For some trades, I bought a thermos, shipped it out and my partner returned my thermos with his frags in it. For others, they sent their thermos to me and I returned it.

As for the priorty mail, BE CAREFUL. I had some arrive in two days, one took two weeks. I was however, willing to ship out a second set of frags since the first ones didn't make it and because I had gotten some nice frags from him as well. Plus the trade was with Scribe who set it all up and so I didn't want to let him down.

It took three tries before I got him some live frags so just be forwarned. Be sure to double bag and wrap the thermos, any leaks and it will probably delay the mailing process. They don't like wet bags.

Shipping cross country ain't bad and I think it gives you a chance to get someting from the "other" coast that you might not get locally. Wish I could join this one but I'm going to be gone traveling abit soon and won't be around to do the trade.

yeah this kinda sounds like its gonna be pot luck, for someone like me who has alot of different zoos, its hard to say if i will get doubles. It would be nice to see what you would be getting, thats why for some this might be uneasy, but for those who are willing to take the gamble this is great. Anyway i have some nice frags i could trade if your local to philly with this thermos trade lets pair up.....

example I entered my name 2 times so I will have to send two frags out to two different people and will recieve 2 frags in return. If the persons I'm paired up with wants more frags from me then I can choose to do so or not.

I'd like to be able to send 2 people.... 3 to 4 frags with each trade, to make the trade worth the shipping. JMHO I could do up to 6 frags if anyone else can do the same

I sent a PM to ehser1.

I have a question about folks dropping out. Don't you think that the rest of us should go ahead and pick up the two people who now have one less partner? One of the guys at least has Sally as a partner, but the other one seems to now have no one.
