About Me

ATTENTION! The SWITCH Code!!! ... I price my stuff
fairly and I expect the people who switch with me to do the same. If
you want to switch with me you better be an honest switcher! If you
have your prices above what I can go buy it new for on Amazon then
don't bother requesting something from me. So stop scamming your fellow
switchers and join in on the fun by adding stuff to the system and
switching it for fair prices. Together we can make this an amazing
place to socialize and save some cash along the way. ***ADD THIS TO

by karen&joe about born2run7 at 2:44pm October 9, 2008

sorry - I haven't been able to make it to the post office. I'll try to go later today or tomorrow, okay?

by toneuc at 10:31pm September 9, 2008

Thank you for the possitive feedback. Sorry I didn't have the back part of the case. Also, it's nice to be your friend!

by Phoenix at 8:25pm April 21, 2008

Hey, Karen&joe ..
Good Luck with your Move!!

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 12:43am April 13, 2008

Well, I'm moving, so if my post office has issues it won't matter soon. Have you listened to the disc yet? Hope you like it!

by Phoenix at 10:32am April 12, 2008

Karen&joe
The Post Ofc sure LOVES you and your packages. This time, the bubble package was ripped at the Top, 2 inches long where the CD case is.....I think yours is the only source where the package is consistently ripped! LOL Funny! ..Thanks for the package deal! ...
Have a GREAT Weekend! Phoenix

re.. "Actually, I don't think of myself as a particularly lucky person. But, I'll take it when it comes along! =)"
Ohhhhhhh, why? ....
.
. Spoil-sport! I was hoping to learn from the best....
Okay, okay, we all have to work for our place in the SUN!
...Cheers!

by Phoenix at 12:25am April 8, 2008

re..."LOL - that is so funny! I can't believe you got those! I'm glad they
didn't make you pay either. Obviously I would have reimbursed you, but
I'm just glad you didn't have to deal with the annoyance of it all.
That is really funny though, maybe I should keep doing that? j/k"...
What other areas in your life are you this lucky? How far has this lucky charm gotten you? Obviously, you are! Just hoping to learn and have some more luck rub on to me! CheerS !

by Phoenix at 7:14pm April 5, 2008

re.. "So, I've got your "free" item in the mail, but it'll probably arrive
faster than your requested items 'cause of my postage error. Still
haven't gotton them back... Maybe it'll make it to you for free?!
Probably not..."

Hi, Karen B....YOU are ONE LUCKY GIRL!!!!....(Not only is she a careful switcher, she's incredibly lucky!) I got the 2 bubble mailer packages, and BOTH of them had NO stamp/postage on them! The Post Ofc just black marker'd one of them with a "?" in the stamp area and just basically gave it to me ...

(((Just LAst month, I got a notice to go to the post ofc to pay for postage due 0.67 from a founding veteran switcher, who you'd think would know better .. )))

HOW do you do that :-? ??? ... perplexed Phoenix ...

by Phoenix at 11:56am April 3, 2008

Okay, 3 complete CDs in a bubble mailer is 11.5 oz (up to 12.0 oz) which is $2.67 postage.



I'd suggest you get some $0.80 and several .17 stamps.


.8 for the 1st oz, .17 for the succeeding oz.


A kitchen scale with oz. works pretty good. (A digital scale is
worthwhile for heavy duty switching) ... But wait for Postal hike this
May.. for the equivalent in the hike....




Thanks for the careful switching!


by karen&joe about Phoenix at 10:56am April 3, 2008

Thanks for the postage tip, but to avoid the post office (I hate going) I buy a bunch of $1.31 stamps (the exact cost to mail a cd) every time I go. That way I get the request and mail it right from home. Funny thing though - I think I forgot to put postage on the items I just sent! Ugh! Anyway, so I'm gonna have to wait for them to come back to me and then put postage on them and send them out. Hopefully it won't take too long. Oh, and I did lower the price on "50 first dates" (for you only obviously) so you can go ahead and request it from me.

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 2:38pm April 2, 2008

Also, if you don't see anything you like I might have some "behind the counter stuff" but I'm moving at it's packed away. So, if you don't see anything you want you could wait it out until I unpack at my new place.

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 11:23am April 2, 2008

Hey there - I think music taste is one of the hardest things to predict no matter how well you know a person, so picking something for you is hard. But, I do notice that you like stuff from the 80s - as do I. A really fun soundtrack that I have available is "50 First Dates" - it's 80's songs done by current artists. Seal does "lips like sugar", Elan Atias & Gwen Stefani (doing background vocals) do "slave to love", Jason mraz does "I melt with you". Check it out on iTunes or amazon and let me know. I have it available for 15 which is higher than either item you requested, but I can just take off the 11 and sell it to you for 4. Just let me know. And if you need time take it - I'll remember that I owe you.

by Phoenix at 11:10pm April 1, 2008

HI... Karen&joeSorry, Cant decide on the 3rd item... Care to make a suggestion? I think you know my music taste by now... (Or are you hiding some more behind the counter?) ... If not, I'll take another look tomorrow! ... Phoenix

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 5:27pm March 25, 2008

Sorry about that packaging - glad it made it to you in good condition anyway. Guess the post office was rough with it, huh?

by Phoenix at 10:08pm March 24, 2008

HI... Karen&joe ... Good
thing that shipment was protected in a bubble mailer... The packaging
was already slit both front and back... But the inside was all safe and
sound.... Thanks for the switch!.
.. Phoenix

by Phoenix at 11:36am March 21, 2008

Here's a suggestion to possibly stimulate some switching for you, if you may.....
Post in the Group Switch Code, offering some deal, Sb discount or or Buy2Get 1 deal for fellow grp mbrs. .... You know, 99.9% of the switchers there are honest, fair priced switchers like us.... CHeerS!

by karen&joe about Ace_of_Sevens at 4:51pm March 20, 2008

were you still interested in swapping your Alias season 1? I Requested it over a week ago and you haven't approved it - just curious. Thanks.

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 10:31am March 19, 2008

Ha! Tigerlily was supposed to be set at 10 sb, but I'll sell it to you for 1 - you've bought lots of stuff from me. You deserve a discount =) I'll have both of them in the mail today, okay?

by TCW at 12:44pm December 28, 2007

yeah its fine.

by Wii Man at 5:00pm November 30, 2007

you still switching?

by ramblin at 7:49am November 2, 2007

Howdy! I got "The Dance" so quickly - thanks! Once you click on "Mail Now", I'll click on "I got it," and it'll probably be the fastest recorded switch ever.

by ramblin at 6:38pm August 24, 2007

I just missed the mailman, but I'll bring the DVDs to the post office tomorrow. On another note, is that a midcentury modern house in your photo with you and your beautiful baby?

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 12:48pm August 20, 2007

I don't have a physical copy of it 'cause I bought it on iTunes. But, you can listen to the whole song here:

The Don Henley CD jewel case has a 1.25 inch length crack in a corner. Since it was the CD in front in the package of 2 CDs. Glad that is all that happened in shipment. No worries! Just for your info. I can't wait to listen to it, ironically, it will be on Monday. HAVE a good weekend !!!

by karen&joe about Wii Man at 1:13pm August 17, 2007

Have you gotton your cds yet? I thought they would have arrived by now. I sent another package to your same area the same day and they already got theirs. Just let me know.

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 4:41pm August 15, 2007

Hey, I had already sent them out by the time I got your tips. But, I did send it in a bubble mailer. I'm sure it'll be fine. Just let me know if there's an issue. =)

by Phoenix at 1:12pm August 15, 2007

=== Requested 2 CDs from you, You can ship them in 1 package if that helps you. And should save you a little on postage.

=== Be sure to protect them as CDs, especially their original jewel cases have a tendency to break in shipment. In my exp, this is usually prevented by inserting hard cardboard inserts and/or bubble pockets/ mailers. Also, placing a folded cut paper towel inside helps keep the CDs inside their cases to protect from shaking loose.

=== Thanks for the switch !!!

by karen&joe about Phoenix at 1:11pm August 15, 2007

The Early Years is in perfect condition. All I did was scan it into my computer once. There are no scratches or marks what-so-ever. I'll send both of them out today.

by Phoenix at 10:42pm August 14, 2007

Any more DVDs to possibly switch ???

by i_love_starbucks at 1:25pm August 13, 2007

Hi! Welcome to SP! See you around the planet. : )

Welcome to SP! If you have any questions about how things work let me know or you can check out the New Members FORUM. JB

Wow! Beautiful Mom and baby Pic !!! Great collection of CDs you have!

by Phoenix at 8:34am August 13, 2007

Hi, Welcome to SwitchPlanet.com !!!

~~~ When you have time, please fill up your profile and items to help other members know 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 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)You Do Not have to feel obligated to accept any requested switch until you feel comfortable in the switch transaction. Just say something like ...>> I,m new, let me explore first! <<. (4)If they are impolite (perhaps they are eager to get it), contact SUPPORT...

... Many Happy Switching !!!

BTW Nice pic:-)

by karen&joe about Wii Man at 8:06pm August 11, 2007

Hi there. I'm mailing both of those out for you on Monday. (I accidently marked that I already sent you one - I'm new at this.) But Monday for sure they'll be going out. Oh, and the bonus tracks on that single are both awesome. Hope you like them!
