I have listed the January Pre-Swap. I believe you have to give it a day before you can join.
THANKS, Pat! Everyone who wants to is more than welcome to list their older seeds in the Pre-Swap! Hope your phone works out well for the swap. I'll be curious! Slow internet sucks! :(
Kilngod - The lightning swap IS just more hurried than a 3, 5, or 7-day swap, but it's also loads of fun. Because it can be a little daunting not knowing what to expect, that's why I suggested the practice run!
Basically, tho, the day of the swap, you go to your wish list (which you have rated 1-5 stars, 5 being what you most want). Your list will show alphabetically (5 stars first/highest priority) and when the swap gates open (7pm EST), a little treasure chest will appear as you refresh the page. Then you just need to click the treasure chest on each item you want, it will ask you to confirm your bid, and move on to the next. While you are bidding, others are also bidding on presumably some of the items, so you may go to a pack you wanted and says there are none left. That's why you want to rate your most important first. In a lightning swap/1 day you get all your tickets to "spend" on buying items at once. So based on the number of items that are being offered, this can be ALOT of seed packets all at once.
You have 24 hours to complete your swap "purchases", tho most of the most-wanted seeds will go in the first hour. Everyone gets so many tickets based on how much is listed, and then you also get extra tickets to spend based on what seeds of yours have sold.
