The swap that I believe dave is setting up is more inline with what most of us are use to. I fully understand what you are looking for, but it is not for me. Like @bxncbx said in another thread it sounds "fair and sensible" but there could be a lot of hurt fellings. I would be upset if I asked several people for a pack of seeds and was told "sorry you can't have it because there is nothing on your list that I want."
Your system is a trade system and the system that most of us are use to is more of a sharing system. I don't need to feel like I made a "fair" trade. If I can give away all my extras seeds that I have no intention of planting and come away with just a few that I really want then I will be a happy gardener.
