Thread: Pen swap Particulars sign up

Thanks dj , live long & prosper and may the Fartz be with you.

I don't think I need to post but yes definitely in

Penpal (Peter) check your post today an early one on the way

I've been ignoring the swap, pretending it's not happening and hoping you'd all go away! But it hasn't worked...

How long before you need a definite yea or nay?

closing date of the 30th May and 1st of June you will receive your partner

Here you go Skew, you've got a whole month to contemplate this , I will be consantly bumping this up when it gets quiet so these no escaping it .

You know you want to do it , it's only $5.10 . If you start putting 20 cents away each day from now you will have the money once its time to post them off

Skew I been wondering when we seen you here..LOL

Is this to supercede the existing penswap or to compliment it?

Total no corelation with the other swap
this is just a way to swap around some blanks

Just some info on postage to overseas for the pen blank swap. Dj and I touched on it about keeping postage under the 2 kg to send, and if you get an international partner, remember that they will incur similar postage fees as well. Some may say duh about the last comment, but I have been involved with several swaps on the American pen forums and you can bet your life that you always get one complaining about postage. On that point heer is what it cost me the other day, a Sierra in a case to Mississippi $8.50, .079g, a box of blanks to Texas $30.10, 1.203kg an 2 boxes of blanks to Alabama $35.50 for each box. One weighed 1.336kg and the other was 1.308kg. These prices were aimail prices. So 6 blanks in a scatchel to America will not cost all that much and the post bag should not be over 500g.
