Description:

This is like an I spy and scavenger hunt but in one swap. You will go to a thrift store or garage sale and hunt for a sea creature for your partner. Make sure it is something that lives in the water like a dolphin, fish, or octopus, not something that enjoys the water like a penguin or polar bear.

There is no price set on this find. SENDERS CHOICE. If you would like you could find two sea creature items but not a requirement. You can shop now or wait to see who you get.

SENDERS CHOICE-please do not list wants

4.95 rate with no recent 3's or 1's. Newbies need to have three type 2 or two type 3. Sorry so strict but I don't want to have to angel since it is a type 3.

Any questions please ask.

I've been checking in for questions.

Ooooo. This looks like fun!

institches 08/14/2012 #

This is awful!! I've been to 3 thrift stores in my area and several garage sales and NO ONE has anything with sea creatures!! (Well, there WAS a dolfin pic but it was HUGE and would have cost a fortune to send!!)

I'll keep looking......ans still watching!

ladydy5 08/15/2012 #

Yes, I think I will check that out too institches, before I join and if I find something I will buy it.

Maggie249 08/19/2012 #

i know that looking - when you are really looking for something specific like this the item will not pop up until you are not looking anymore - so I continue the search - nothing large but something interesting then I can join

institches 08/19/2012 #

Went to Goodwill and they didn't have anything, but a dolphin figurine that was missing the fins off the dolphins. Ug, awhile ago thing to use for this swap was everywhere!

Still looking.....

I hope you find something @Maggie249 @institches and @ladydy5 I hate finding things that are broken. Why do they even put those on shelves?

institches 08/20/2012 #

OK, can we get things off of Listia? I found a ton of things there...

art3osb 08/21/2012 #

What is Listia? If you want too. It would still be thrifting, right, but online instead:) I thrift on www.swap.com. I Trade my treasures I don't want for treasures I do want.

institches 08/23/2012 #

Listia works the same way...almost. You "sell" items for credits, then you "buy" things with the credits. I tried swap.com, but like Listia better. If interested in joining there PM me and I'll give you a referral code.

I have found all kinds of sea creatures, from se lions to mermaids to fish (dishes, cheese spreaders, windchimes, tshirts, etc), to crab serving pieces and mugs, lobster themed socks, seshorsed, etc, etc...enemy.starfish and sand dollars ..I wish I could send some along to everyone else!!! We have an overabundance here@_

institches 08/29/2012 #

FINALLY!! I found some sea creature things! Happy, happy, joy, joy!!

art3osb 08/29/2012 #

That is awesome @candigirl You can send your partner more than one sea creature if you like.

art3osb 08/29/2012 #

AWESOME @institches )!

KristinaLynn 08/30/2012 #

You would think this would have been easier seeing as I practically live on the beach in new england. I just finally found something nice!

Snowfairy 09/ 2/2012 #

I went to an auction and had done great luck !

Lady 09/ 5/2012 #

Forgot to look last time I went out - now I am afraid to join...

art3osb 09/ 5/2012 #

@Lady You have 3 wks after sign up to find something and send it out. You don't think you would be able to hunt something down. You can try thrift store, garage sale, auction, online sites as long as the item is used.

art3osb 09/ 6/2012 #

I'll be back to assign partners.

art3osb 09/20/2012 #

I'm getting mine out in within the next couple of days.
