Why not do it as a chain, then you only have to look at the current offer, whatever it is.

I think taking all the general rules from the egg swaps PLUS making sure to do another like the ones on the gift swap in the hobby section "ne people must send DC confirmation to the thread leader before their trade will be sent out" that way the people who dont send dont get something even though they didnt send anything out. It is always going to be an honor system thing though, there is only so much you can control. You can also ban people from joing the thread if they owe anyone something.

This is what I have so far. Please review and let me know if you think changes should be made or things added. I was unsure of a number of items sent by new members to allow them to swap like everyone else. We can also change the rules as missred871 stated and have the thread leader confirm new member shipping instead of the person shipping.

What Ya Got Swap is for people that have items other than hatching eggs that would like to join into the fun of a swap, however hatching eggs are also welcome in this swap. Many BYC members make very nice items such as homemade soaps, jellies & jams, candies, chicken saddles, egg carton labels, chicken drawing & portraits etc., other BYC members may have plant starts, seeds, etc. and others may just have some items such as books, egg cartons, or other items either new or used that they no longer have a need for but that some other member may find useful. If sending hatching eggs please send eggs that are no older the 4 day when shipped.

As a rule of thumb offers must be equal to the value of 6 pure breed eggs – Examples: 4-6 iris bulbs, 6 blackberry starts, and 1 16oz jar of plum jam, 1 hard bound book or 2 couple of paperback books, 2 bars of homemade soap, 2-3 chicken saddles. These are just examples and only to be used as a guideline. Please offer what you feel is a likewise offer and that can be shipped in one of the priority boxes. Remember you are paying the shipping of the item you offer.

DESCLAMER: BYC IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SWAP. BYC is not responsible for items sent, received or not received. Please do not pm the mod about your item. PM me. If you do not receive your item, I can not make them send them but will make sure they do not play anymore. There is a risk with any swap that you may not receive your item promised, please keep that in mind while participating.

SWAP RULES - This list is subject to change so please check back periodically

YOU MUST BE 18 OR OVER TO PLAY

LIMIT 3 SWAPS PER MEMBER PER WEEK (SUNDAY-SATURDAY)

NEW MEMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN A MEMBER LESS THAN 6 MONTHS CAN PARTICIPATE, HOWEVER THEY MUST SHIP THEIR ITEM WITH VERIFIED CONFIRMATION BEFORE THE ITEM CLAIMED WILL BE SENT TO THEM. ONCE THE NEW MEMBER HAS SENT ???? ITEMS, THEY MAY PARTICIPATE WITHOUT RESTRICTION. SEE BELOW FOR HOW TO CLAIM AND VERIFY SHIPMENT OF YOUR ITEM. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS RULE WILL RESULT IN BEING BANNED FROM SWAPPING.

MEMBERS THAT DO NOT SHIP THEIR PROMISED ITEMS WITHIN THE TIME LIMIT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SWAP FURTHER AND WILL HAVE THEIR NAMES POSTED ON THE SECOND POST OF THIS THREAD UNTIL THEY HAVE FULLFILLED THEIR SWAP OBLIGATION.

To claim an offer.

Be the first to post mine and then post your offer in the same post. Please post pictures of your item if possible. You may offer a choice of items if you wish. If the thread stalls for 6 hours, try changing your offer.

When each trade is posted, please pm or email the person who offered the item claimed and work out the shipping arrangements. If you are a new member, let the member know when you send your PM so they know they should not ship until they receive confirmation that you have shipped your item offered and then follow up with a PM of the confirmation number once your item is shipped. The member shipping should check the confirmation number online to make sure the item is shipped before sending their item. The person sending the item pays the shipping costs.

When items are mailed, swapper needs to send a courtesy email or PM to the swappee to let them know that the item is on its way. All items must be shipped with tracking # and please email or PM that information to the swappee. Items other than hatching eggs should be sent within 2-3 days. Hatching eggs should be sent within a week. If you cannot meet this timeline keep in contact with your swappee so they are aware why you can’t ship.

I think that a start time should be announced whether it be 6 eastern, 8 central whatever..... Just so we all know when to be online, I don't want to miss out when swaps are the most exciting

(when they first start lol)

sounds good to me, there will always be a risk when participating in swaps that the mids cannot control, but usually most BYCers are good on their word. I am in when you get it started. I like the rules and I think that it will be fun!
