Nice job here!
One suggestion - how about a place for people to post things they are seeking or would like to find?

Hey, Cris.
This looks fantastic. Thanks! I definitely have some stuff I could pass on to someone else, so I'll list those as soon as I can.
A couple immediate thoughts: I'm short so my clothes are all petite lengths... mostly 16WP's. Do you think it would be overkill to have additional categories for petites? Such as 14-16 petite, 14-16 women's petite, etc.
And what about 1X, 2X, etc. Would we just look for those under the approximate number size? For example 1X = 16-18W?
I guess the thrust of the question is how do we differentiate between, for example, 16 regular, 16 petite, and 16 woman sizes. Maybe that should just be noted in the subject line....?
Thanks! Can't wait to start swapping!

Rita - great idea. I'll add that now. Bonbon, I think for the sake of clutter it would be best to just estimate that a 1x is a 16 or 18, 2x is 20ish, etc... You could compare the waistband of a 1x pant to a pant with number size to get a good idea of what it would be. And as far as petite sizing goes, again for simplicity sake I'm going to ask you to just put it in existing categories, and just make a note that the sizes are petite. If I make too many categories, they will run on to a second page and be more difficult to browse - I'm just trying to keep it clean!

Yup... I agree it would be simpler and make for less clutter to keep categories general and put details in the description. Just wanted to see if that made sense.

I'd like to suggest two things:
1... For clothing, it would be helpful to include the brand name, if available, since we all know how clothing sizes differ.
2... I'd like to see prices. I notice in the 2 offerings for exercise equip. there are no prices mentioned.
Thanks.

Penny,
I think for the most part, unless otherwise specified you can expect that the cost for the item is simply the cost for shipping.

Okay, in light of your wanting a frother and a few kitchen gadgets that I've upgraded, how about a section on kitchen gadgets? I might be the only one to post to it, but I can see a use for it.

Arkansan, Done!!
I renamed the "Other"Thread to "Gadgets and Miscellaneous" - if I added a new thread we'd be at 2 pages already. That filled up fast!!

Chris, I have 3 or 4 pairs of very gently worn shoes that I would like to pass on. Where would you like me to post them? This is so much fun... Thanks for all of the work you have put into it.

Kate, go ahead and post them with accessories. Oh, and it wasn't that much work, just the effort of making up a few categories Fortunately, I don't think this will take much elbow grease to keep going, simply because everyone here is quite respectful of rules and boundaries. Makes our job easy! As long as order is maintained, I'm a happy girl with a great forum to run.

How about cosmetics? I'm a gift with purchase junkie and have all sorts of lipsticks, eye shadows, etc. that I've either tried once or not at all. These are easy to swap. Just need to plunk them into a heavy envelope and mail.

Woops! If I could read I would have figured out the shoes goes under the "shoes" department.
