PLEASE HEAD OVER TO THAT THREAD IF YOU ARE INTERESTED!

I'm just checking to see if there is any interest in an Herb Seed Swap. I know that seed packets generally have far more seeds than I'd like, so being able to swap some of those out for other varieties would be fun!

General Idea:
A. Everyone lists the herb seeds that they have available for trade and how many 'shares' they have. For herbs, let's call 6 seeds a 'share'.
B. Anyone who sees a share available that they want would D-mail the owner and ask to reserve the share. The owner updates their list so that their available shares are always up-to-date.
C. At the close of the swap, all seeds are sent to me, along with 5 stamps to cover return postage. This way everyone only pays postage once, each direction, rather than for every individual swap.
D. I will package all of the seeds to be sent to each trader.
E. Sorry, only herb seeds for this swap!

If you are interested in a swap like this, or if you have suggestions for improving the idea, please post here. Since we are in prime seed sowing season, let's assume that the swap would run from March 15-April 1.
