I have added a few more but for a relatively small swap with a maximum of 20 participants a giant have list might be counterproductive . I'm making myself stop after I add a few I put out on the desk to list when I get home.


Alana, at first I agreed 100% with that. Then I started to worry about the "not enough oinks" problem.

Say I ask for 15-30 pkts from various people, but they only ask for 5-10 pkts form me.

I might mail as few as 5-10 pkts back and forth for $10-12. Awww! (I guess that would be OK for this test-swap, but my seed obsession motivates me to try fo5r more. I HAVE learned not to offer anything that isn't already in my hands and divided into labelled pkts.)

If I list dozens of seed types, my chances of giving away enough seeds to get back lots is increased.

I wonder if there could be any way to set "priorities" on requested seeds, so that if we request 100 but only 10 are requested from us, we have a better chance of getting the ones we most wished for. (In a future version! Please ignore this for now!)
