How It Works

I prefer a straightforward 1-for-1 exchange based on mutual interest. Here's how we usually proceed:

Get in touch via email or leave a comment on any post
We describe or show each other what we have to offer
We agree on what to swap and send at the same time
Each collector pays their own postage

I ship from Germany and can provide registered or tracked mail on request. I ask the same consideration in return for valuable items.
