F:AT ARMS TRADE- the signal is lit!

I think it's time. I know I've got a small pile of games I'm looking to get out the door and I'd like to bring in some new blood. I'm sure after Secret Satan and Christmas some of you might too.

Anyone interested? I can't run this thing, so we need an F:AT Patriot to step up and manage the complexities of making this work.

I'd probably have a couple of titles that could make the trade pile. Can't run it, but I'd probably take part.

I have some stuff.

I wish I could take part as I have a couple of AT classics that didn't work for me, but alas it's not worth it. Shipping from Oz is a bitch and as I end up paying both ways it comes up worse than tossing the games in the bin and buying the new one from a store.

I'm in for trading. I nominate Matt Loter to run it. He did great last time, so lets twist his arm to do it again. Do I hear a second?

Shipping prices went up once again--even to Canada...I'd be up for a math trade, but I'd only ship within the US. I was in a math trade on BGG and wound up shipping to Brazil and paying a crazy, crazy amount for shipping.

I have stuff I'd trade, for sure.

(I can't run it...at least not manually and without the OLWG used on BGG trades (makes it a heck of a lot easier--for everyone involved). Problem without using OLWG is that there's no easy way for making sure you don't get duplicates, for example. I think that's limited some of the math trades on here previously. Hasn't Jeb run them before here?)

I have a bunch of stuff I could probably trade out, but I have no idea how to run one of these things...

I'm happy to run it. I should be able to get things organized officially later today.

Personally I'll have to be a little more selective than usual with my massive trading looseness just cause I can't really afford the typical $100+ in shipping games around right now, but I have some stuff to get out there for sure.

It's not quite as "no effort at all" easy, but it's pretty easy to do so and I'll try to explain it better this time so everyone knows how it works.

HUZZAH! I'm so psyched. I love these things, even when I get crap. Y'all, put up some old timey Eurogames. That's what I want out of this. Really want a TIKAL, actually.

Don't forget you can specify if you're willing to ship out of your country or not. It might limit your field, but at least you can participate.

Thanks, man! I'm definitely in.

I haven't been on a buying spree in a while, and most of my recent purchases have been spot-on, but there's always something going unplayed. It might be time to cull the herd.

Hells to the yes I'm in!!

What the Fuck y'all?! How much more expensive is it to ship to Canada from the US?!


Bah!! I'll ship to the US- like I have a choice:it's where most of you bastards are from anyway.

Billy,

It would be about 36 bucks (US) to ship Ticket to Ride to Canada, now. It has gone up like crazy from just a few years ago when I shipped an old Star Wars game (attack on Death Star or something like that) in a weird over sized box...and it was 8 bucks or so. Now, if it doesn't fit into a flat rate box--you're talking far more than the 36 bucks, even, unfortunately. It is far cheaper (from what my other Canadian friends tell me--and I live in a town with quite a few Canadians) to send things from Canada to the US.

I love my Canadian brethren, Billy! It is just hard to justify trading a game and spending over 30 bucks on shipping.
