As I was cruising ebay, I read something about "trade partners" that got me to thinking:

If someone is kind enough to trade with me, I really ought to give that person first dibs on my "orphans", & vice versa.

sooooo.....

When you get to the swap, put your extras or orphans in one spot on your table, & when you make a pre-arranged or on-site swap, you & your "trade partner" check out each other's extras & distribute them as you wish.

After lunch & prizes & every possible opportunity to give your orphans to someone you select, then put your extras on the orphans' table.

We're going to try this at this swap & either keep doing it or revise it or change it again.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone & can't wait to glut myself on conversation & yummies & springtime plants!
