weebus- Yes, I think that because this is a new forum everyone is still trying to figure out what will work and is fair. But you make a good point. Materials used, time spent to make an item, cost of postage to mail, all should be taken into account. It's only a good trade if both sides feel they received something equal in value to what they sent.

Ditto...This forum could be great for those of us who are consumat collectors of books, tools, garden art, etc...but we need to be considerate in our trades. Let the trading begin!!! :)
