Do any of you think this could work? I think it could be fun. Start a “traveling box” swap. Yea or Nay? TT Nay, been in a couple of these, one had nothing useable, the other stopped somewhere and never got forwarded to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted March 16 I actually think it sound like a good idea, but I agree with the others about the actual implementation. Too bad. Maybe a thread dedicated to only swapping materials, which would be solely a transaction between two parties? You know, like I have a lot of this and I'm looking for a bit of that. But I guess the classifieds can be used for that. We do kind of a cool think in my fly tying club. Anyone who has some extra materials, bags it up and puts on the raffle table. Buy a bunch of raffle tickets at the start, and when meeting is over, the numbers are called and you get your choice of whatever is on the table until all is gone. Money goes to the club. I've got some good stuff, and occasional crap, but for a buck a ticket to support the club, its worth it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarrellP 0 Report post Posted March 17 Damn it Bob. Now you got me cleaning up my mess. My wife likes it neater but I think she noticed how many hooks I was organizing last night. I am probably gonna be on probation. She is even talking about feeding me salads again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
