Hey guys,
 
Since we're a fairly small site here, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing an RPG Swap?  I'm sure a lot of you have seen things like this on Big Purple--basically, you list your interests, but you're given a name of a person to send an RPG product to.  Some folks win out big, others likely don't, but it's a nice way to clean off some shelf space and perhaps give a book you aren't interested in a new home.
 
I figured if we did it, we could do one for our US posters, one for the UK/Europe crowd, and one more perhaps for the international types (which should help at least some folks with the postage.  I've definitely got a few books I'm willing to swap.  It can be a sourcebook, a generic RPG book, main rules--whatever.  Just don't be a cretin and send Rifts World Book 26 to someone who will never play Rifts (I'll do my best to match folks up as I can).
 
Now, you don't tell the person you swap what book they're getting--it has to be a surprise.  Basically, everyone would PM or email me a shipping address, a name, and the type of books they're interested in, and in return, they'd receive one to ship something to.  If there's interest in this,
I'd happily run it---I think we're a small enough site this could work out quite well, and we all get some new product.
 
So...who's interested?

Why not just a trade thread?  Or am I missing the point?

Eh, I just thought it would be fun to get a random RPG book at your doorstep, something you may have never picked up on your own but might up really liking (or hating, I suppose).  Trade thread would be just as cool by me.

I think it's a "good spirit" thing, getting a surprise, etc...

My problem is that I am too likely to get a "surprise" I already own.

I'd be glad to trade with any Canadian posters, especially Montrealers that I could meet.

See, that's something I'd consider. I'd hate to have to deal with international shipment costing as much as an item is worth, or more.

Sadly I don't have much to move on, and even less that isn't stuffed into some poorly labeled moving box. A couple D&D 3e core books (might as well be sending an empty potato chip bag, only costing more postage). Hrmm there is somewhere the T1-T4 module someone might want, I've heard people like those and this one's in pretty good shape.

Yeah, I figured we'd try to match up fellow countrymen whenever possible...

Yeah I've got a load of stuff I never read/use.  I'm in.

Doesn't look like we have a plethora of interest yet, but I guess we'll see if anyone else is interested...

I'd be more interested in a stickied trade thread where folk list their Wants and Haves.

I'd be interested in some trades.  I've got some games that I will never play; I'd like to free up the shelf space.

I have trades, but I don't really want random stuff, I'm slimming down what I have and only really want particular items now.

I'd be willing to trade the new Runequest for basically anything WFRP2 or D&D 3.5 which I don't already have
