About Me

Avid reader and movie watcher. Have been collecting rock & roll music since June 10, 1957, Love Letters in the Sand/Bernadine by Pat Boone first record bought.
Married, 5 kids 38 down to 25.
I list material I want to swap, so if you don't like the price, let me know. I can usually see my way clear to wheel & deal. It's all stuff that's cluttering up the place anyway.
I would appreciate it if as you look through my materials for switch that if you find an item for 4 or 6 SB's that you try to find a couple more, to make the postage expense worthwhile.  Thanks.

Thanks for the books. In good shape as always. IMHO, you are not charging enough for your books. Your postage barely covers your listed sb price.

Book is in fair condition, but also smells like cigarettes. Fast shipment. Thanks.

neutral rating by hoops4life2115  Jul 16 2008

Item is in very poor condition. It smells like cigarette smoke and half of the pages fall out. Avoided negative rating due to low SB and fast shipping. Should have noted the damage in the item "notes."

positive rating by lotrgranny  May 10 2008

Thanks for the Guinevere dvd! Please don't take this as a negative but as a bit of advice to help you have more successful trades. This dvd was listed as disc, artwork and case, which led me to believe that I was receiving the original plastic case, with artwork and disc. I noticed that you are relatively new to the system, so I am giving you positive feedback but thought you might like to hear this from me, giving you a positive feed back, rather than someone else who might give you negative feedback for the same situation. I think most traders would be a bit disappointed to get a plastic sleeve protector instead of a case and artwork dismantled from a snap case (unless posted in your notes). With the low price that you had it listed, you probably would have been better off listing this dvd as disc only. Then send everything as you did and traders would think they were getting a bonus rather than shorted. We like to keep our traders happy!

positive rating by AvidReader  Feb 6 2008

Thanks for the books... although I see by the cost of postage, you are just barely recouping your mailing costs on the switch. If you have no problem with that, fine, however, when switching with me, I have no problem whatsoever with an increase in your listed sb prices to help cover the cost of postage. Will definitely trade with you again!

Would you take 10SB for "This Time Around"?

by snowflakegirl at 1:14pm April 27, 2008


Laugh Track: Secret Agent

What is the condition of the disc?

by Al Volker about rvolker at 11:31pm April 11, 2008

Hey, it's Dad. Good easy way to communicate. If you see something you like in the stuff offered, let me know and I'll try to swap with someone for you. You can also get rid of some old books, music etc.

Love, Dad

Hi...
Al Volker .. . what's up with the request for DVD:Starship Troopers 2 ?

by Al Volker about Stefan Gruenwald at 6:18pm February 25, 2008

Stefan, I can't find the cd you're asking for. Who is it by, or is it a compilation or soundtrack. Would love to get it top you, but I need some help locating it. Al.

Hi, Welcome to SwitchPlanet.com !!! ~~~


When you have time, please fill up your profile and items to help other
members know and more likely to Switch/SWITCH with you better. ===
click HELP link below to get basic info.... === see the SP Forums link
below and go to >>>NewMembers<<< where other veteran
switchers can help answer your questions, including questions other new
members have asked.... === Some general advice up front I have gathered
from other new switchers... (1)Pricing...click on the item that you
have set up to see how other switchers price their items. (some are
reasonable prices, some are not. If none, search for similar items)
(2)Note only on pricing 0,1,2 Switchbuc prices, even Amazon.com
charges $2.99-3.99 for shipping! So unless you're making special
arrangements with the requester, I feel you should be charging at least
3 SB to cover your postage, packaging cost. Tip: Offer a package deal
(say, Buy2, Get1 free!) in your >>About Me<< (3)For newbies
only: You Do Not have to feel obligated to accept any requested switch
until you feel comfortable in your first switch transaction. Be polite
and explain/reply to their profile with something like...>> I,m
new/Let me explore/I didnt know! << You can give them first
option/dibs to accept your new arrangement. (4)If they are impolite
(perhaps they are eager to get it), contact SUPPORT...


... Many Happy Switching !!!
