Description:
  • International Swap -

This is my first hosting, so, please bear with me.

This swap will be to exchange One Magazine that you happen to have laying around. The magazine must be in gently-used, or, new, shape.
No greasy fingerprints, torn pages, filled-in cross-word puzzles, etc.

The fun of this swap is, that, you may send ANY magazine - EXCEPT - no porn/sexually suggestive material - ie: Playboy, etc.

But, ANYTHING else goes.

This means that you might receive a magazine that you already subscribe to, Or, have no interest in... or, thought you had no interest in.

Perhaps its a sports or a trade mag, or a craft magazine that you don't have interest in -

But, on the bright side, you might be able to use the pictures or text as part of a craft of yours.

Or, discover you are interested in the magazine's subject, after all.

This is Pure pot-luck. You really don't know what you're going to get.

It could be a current magazine, or, one that's been laying around for awhile. Just as long as it's in decent shape.

Since magazines have no serious intrinsic value, I think this should be open to newbies. Everyone is welcome to join - International also.

However - If I see you have a constant bad rating, I will ban you. But, if you're a new swap-botter, you're welcome to prove yourself, here.

Oh - One more thought - The values of the magazines might not all be the same.. so, keep this in mind.
Some magazines hover around a dollar, others, ten.
It's up to you what to send. So don't be unhappy if you send an expensive magazine and get a less expensive one, in return.

Remember, this is Pure Grab Bag.

I hope I explained it all understandably :-)

SueFitz 04/ 5/2007 #

I'm in....

user6691 04/ 5/2007 #

I'm a complete magazine fiend.

Count me in.

slamophile 04/ 5/2007 #

Thanks, Mel, and, Sue... and - Me, too, ArtfulDodger! wow! thanks for the thumbs-up! glad you all joined!
hmm - 12 already. great going! - thanks for joining my first ever swap-bot swap offering.

MAM 04/ 5/2007 #

I love magazines. Something about sitting down and just paging through one, not matter the subject, that I find interesting. Even if its just to laugh over silly ads or look at the graphics. This should be a fun swap.

slamophile 04/ 5/2007 #

Well, thank ya, Mam. :-D

wifemotherslave 04/ 7/2007 #

I am in! This sounds cool. thanks wifemotherslave

Sylvie 04/ 9/2007 #

English magazines only? grtz! Sylvie

Liz 04/ 9/2007 #

Ok - magazine is in an envelope - c'mon mail date! :)

slamophile 04/ 9/2007 #

Hi Sylvie - Since this is an international swap - Any language magazine is acceptable. :-)

slamophile 04/ 9/2007 #

I like your style, Liz !!! I agree!

user7255 04/11/2007 #

I am such a magazine fiend! Can't wait!

slamophile 04/12/2007 #

hmm.. it's the 12th.. but, i don't see any "assign partner" link to click.. to get this started. well, maybe, it will appear later..

citizenblue 04/12/2007 #

oh, this is awesome! i'm very excited for it!

slamophile 04/12/2007 #

hmm.. i still see no email that tells me to initiate the swap... but, anyway - I was wondering - If I were to offer this swap again - I am wondering if people would want to send two or three magazines, to two or three different partners.. Or, should I stay with one on one? Well, have a great day, all - I have to run back to the accountant.. blah!

Liz 04/12/2007 #

Hi Slam - I think you have to wait until the end of the day on the sign-up date - people can still join this swap! As far as doing it again - I'm all for it - but sending multiple magazines overseas can get pricy - that might limit participation.

slamophile 04/12/2007 #

oh great, thanks for the imput about initiating the swap. And yeah - you're right about that overseas postage.. I forgot about that - thanks! :-)

PinkRibbonSurvivor2002 04/13/2007 #

Mel, Just sent your magazines today..couldnt decide which ones to send you, so i sent 3...happy reading! could be a couple weeks as i am in Canada..

PinkRibbonSurvivor2002 04/13/2007 #

slam, i think having multiple partners is a great idea! i sent 3 magazines to my pard..lol

MAM 04/13/2007 #

I agree, shipping multiples to one person would be fun, but if they're overseas, the shipping cost could get a little high, and as said, might be a deterrant for some.

But I love the idea of two or three partners, one magazine to each. That way, you're getting three back from three different people, possibly in three totally different parts of the country or world, making the swap that much more interesting. :D

slamophile 04/13/2007 #

Well, maybe I could organize a swap that specifically said that signer-uppers should take into account the overseas prices. Then, only those who don't mind paying, would sign up. Well! - It was just a thought! - I was just musing! Pink Ribbon - Your partner is one lucky one!! lol Thanks again for partcipating, everyone - We made the top ten!

mysterygirl 04/13/2007 #

frankcheez - your envelope was shipped from my post office this afternoon! Hope you enjoy! Hugs!

Liz 04/14/2007 #

I can't believe that I can actually be such a moron that I FORGET that it's April 14th and go to the post office anyway... no, I'm not dumb - just dedicated!!!

inamerica8 04/14/2007 #

Your magazine is on its way to Portugual, Mina!

slamophile 04/14/2007 #

lol, liz.

Mel 04/15/2007 #

Hi Kimmie,

Your mag went out today (but won't post until tomorrow). We're pretty close so it shouldn't take too long (unless people filing their taxes late makes it an issue!)

Hope you like it! Oh, and look for a note and treat INSIDE the mag. :)

Cheers, Mel

chrichri 04/16/2007 #

Hi Cheryl!

Just a quick post to let you know that I post your magazine today....however it's going to take a while (up to one month) as I had to send it by ship not airmail:( I am so sorry but as the mag was almost 800 grammes; it would have cost around 10 sterling pounds by airmail. Just did not seem justifiable for a magazine or for me being a student.

Christina

MAM 04/16/2007 #

Mrs MC, magazines went out today (I couldn't resist, I had to send two). Enjoy!

girlonaglide 04/17/2007 #

frankcheez! Your magazineS arrived yesterday! Thanks for choosing ones that did interest me! :)

user7179 04/17/2007 #

sorcia, your magazines went out on saturday the 14th!! hope you enjoy!

Turtle 04/17/2007 #

Jenny, I'm sending yours tomorrow. I went by the post office today and picked up a global express envy and since I can mail up to 4 pounds (weight)you will probably get more than one mag. I brought 4 with me just in case. It's only costing $9.50 for 4 lbs to England. I hope you enjoy them.

Fanfreak 04/18/2007 #

Sent out the mag to macati today. Hope she'll like the pictures in it as it's swedish ;)

macati 04/18/2007 #

slamophile 04/24/2007 #

Mrs. D -

I am relatively new here, and, I am definately taking notes - from your swap, that I just received - on how I should send my future swaps.

Your envelope was Awesome! Loved the stamps and everything on it was arranged so artsy. And, it got better when I opened it.

Thank you so much for the extras, and, the teas, and the lovely note, and for all the time you put into compiling your most fabulous swap.

Thanks again! - I truly appreciate it. slamophile

Liz 04/24/2007 #

I received a lovely magazine on Paper Crafts yesterday, but all I know is that it came from "Elizabeth" - so I can't send a PM, as I don't know the Swap-Bot screen name, but thank you!

inamerica8 04/24/2007 #

user6560 05/ 1/2007 #

Suefitz,

The mag arrived today. thanks! and it is about a subject I don't have any mags on which is saying something as i'm a bit of a mag. addict. I'm looking forward to its perusal.

smiles, Henri
