Hi everyone
Please remember while MSE's about saving money it's about doing it safely. You're all strangers on here and we really don't want to see any of you having problems.
Consider it like a pub. You wouldn't give your name and address to someone you'd just met there so please don't do it here. We'd hate to hear reports of Forum users sending items to others and not getting what they were expecting back. Or worse.
Please remember to stay safe online.

Plus it clogs up the forum pages for those who are looking for bargains and don't wanna get involved with the swap thing!!!

....and there is more detail on the 'no-swap' policy in the forum rules:

Could you not set up a "swap" page? I've given up reading some of the Tesco threads now due to it been full of "swap me! swap me!" post

I don't think you quite get the point here - swapping isn't allowed, period. So setting up a swap page on MSE would be in total contradiction of the rules.0 -

I'm fully aware that swapping is not allowed, but it doesn't stop it from happening does it? The fact that people are swapping contradicts the rules in the first place.Slimming World Challenge 2017 0/30.5lb

I don't think its a good idea to set up a swap page as it is against the rules anyway , but totally agree it puts people off from reading the threads as I gave up on the T toy thread ages ago which defeats the object of finding bargains and am glad it has been stopped personally! 0

It also highlights the fact that people are just buying things because they are cheap not because they want them and that kinda sad and unfair tbhIf women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0

I think it is OK to set up a swap page.
