A few things you should ask for: -That items not be trash/ junk rocks. -You want to coordinate ship times in an attempt to send at relatively the same time so no one member gets their items before the other sends theirs out. -That you post what is recieved, because that is what we live for. * It is a blind trade, so no hints as to what is being sent. @WATERLINE though you could *hint* that you'll be sending them some snarge (i.e. fossilized poop known as coprolites). 1 Do or do not. There is no try. - Yoda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted February 2, 2020 Author Share Posted February 2, 2020 @WATERLINE Bruce, it would be best for all if any further contact details for trades be conducted via PM. Including your personal email. You don't want that email broadcast out on a public forum for all to see , you are just inviting spammers into your inner circle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesuslover340 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 @WATERLINE Personal details can be sent via the personal messaging system the forum offers; I wouldn't post it on any threads as it can be seen publicly and is therefore no longer private 1 "Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."-Romans 14:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three of the folk who posted on page one and did some of the first trades are now no longer with us. Very sad. But shows their kindness and spirit of community.

Bobby Rico Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi All A couple of weeks ago I really enjoyed looking though this thread. Even though it is heartbreaking that some of the players are no longer with us, the generosity of the participants just shone through. This was Doren’s thread and I believe he really enjoyed the exchange of fossils so very much, making forum members happy and boosting their collection was like a hobby for him. So I contacted Ralph a very good friend of Doren’s and asked him if we would consider a trade under this thread and it’s rules. In honour of the memory of Doren’s generous influence on our forum. So if you have some good trade material and money for postage please please get this thread going again and keep the exchanges flowing and growth of our collections happening . All you have to do is put a call out for a trade partner on this thread. I will kick it off with my incredibly kind trade with Ralph @Nimraviswho went down the micro matrix madness route and I love it . So much great stuff to do it justice I will have too to photograph It over a couple of days. I will just show a sample here of the micro samples and the rest on my “ macro lens” thread. Ralph thank you so much it is fantastic really fantastic trade. I will get so much enjoyed from micro fossils and the rest of the collections. stay safe all Bobby 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
