The earlier "seed swap night" this year on the weekend of Niagara was a huge success and some great fun for all who couldn't be in Niagara and gathered in the chat instead!
Looking forward to round 2...

Ok Guys, for anyone who has not witnessed our little game in the chat, here's how it works:

-If you want to play, send me an email between now and April 8 at 5pm. Use the Subject "SEED SWAP" as the title of the mail. I'll put a list together in the order that the emails are received and that is the order we will go in on the night of the 8th. To get on the list to play, you have to email me.
- All seed offered MUST be traded. No backing out is allowed.
- The person at bat will state the seed they are offering up for trade with any info they have on it.
- People interested in the seed will have 10 minutes to make trade offers on the seed up for grabs...I time it.
- After the 10 minutes is up, the person offering the seed up for grabs will take 2 minutes to decide which offer they will accept.
-the person offering the seed is responsible for keeping track of what they are offered.
- The details are worked out by email between the 2 parties.
- We are expecting a pretty good turn out so there may not be time for a second round, but if there is, we will make a new list and start over.
-The last trade of the night will be offered before 11pm, in other words, after 11pm eastern, we're done for the night. If there are a large number of folks who want to trade, the list will govern who gets in and if time runs out, it runs out.
-It's all very informal so chatting is fine as long as the guy offering can get all the offers made.
-NO MONEY IS ALLOWED, ONLY TRADES!!

Any questions can be emailed to me at [email protected]. This is all for fun with everyone at BP, it's not for any Association or Organization. It's just a fun way to make some kewl trades. When we did the mini-swap while everyone was in Niagara, there were 2-582's traded and an 805 Pukos. Hope to see everyone on the 8th.

I thought I'd mention also, you can offer up multiple seeds as a lot, it doesn't have to be just one seed being put up.

What will happen if the offering person dont decide within 2 minutes?

If the offering person doesn't decide in 2 minutes, the mob will be left with no choice but to stone them and use them as fertilizer....or....we give them an extra few seconds, but in the past, 2 minutes has been more than enough to decide.
Also, I had a suggestion made that makes sense. We may cut down the time allowed for offers to 5 minutes instead of 10 to help move things along. We have found in the past that 10 minutes tends to make things drag a little too much.
Remember, this is all informal fun so things are flexible to get the most trades we can in and everyone goes away happy having had a good time.

I would love to join in on this but how would a novice know what would be good seed? Any advise?

Shoot Croley just offer a couple of seed you think might be good and see what happens. Within a year or two you will be swimming in seeds anyway. I am willing to bet you will get nice offers for what you are willing to swap. It's to late or some of us might have even given you some seeds to wheel and deal with. :)

I have no seeds to trade. I might find a few buttons. How about composting worms, are they legal tender?
