The freebiemeet, episode 18

Posted by Robin on 2 October 2021 27 Comments — Comments are closed

The freebiemeet is open! (Note that more people are giving away their freebies in the swapmeet, so I do not even know if we need to hold a freebiemeet…we shall see, and perhaps this is the last one.) PLEASE read the instructions, even if you’ve read them before! Really, pretty please, with sugar on top! There’s not even that many of them, and you will save us all so much time and confusion. This is not that hard. Plus, it’s free stuff! It’s all good, but it’s even better if you read the instructions. If you have any questions, please post them here.

For people who would like to chat in addition to, or instead of, giving and getting free stuff, there will be a poll along shortly…

The swapmeet & splitmeet & freebiemeet follow-up, 2020

Posted by Robin on 21 November 2020 22 Comments

Oops! I am ashamed to admit that we have not done a follow up poll since 2017. If you participated in any of our swapmeets (episodes 11 – 17) or splitmeets (episodes 8 – 14) or freebiemeets (episodes 8 – 17) since then, how did it go? (And by the way, there is a regular weekend poll coming up shortly.)

Feel free to thank your partner(s), make any suggestions for improving the way we run these events, or just tell us about a fabulous fragrance you discovered via the efforts of your fellow readers.

You are also encouraged to let us know — without naming names please! — if things went wrong. It is helpful for other readers to know what sorts of issues they might encounter when swapping or splitting…

If you have perfume-related items you’d like to give away (as opposed to swap for something else), and if you’re reasonably sure you can mail your items within the next month, feel free to list them below in the comments AFTER reading the instructions. If you wish to give away items using any rules other than those listed here (to request payment for postage, for example), you are more than welcome to do so any time in one of the scent of the day polls or lazy weekend polls…
