What happens if a member receives the box and there is NOTHING in the box that they want, like or need? Do they then just ship it back out again? Do they still add something? Does the box get shipped back to them at some point and HOPEFULLY there will be something in there that they would like? Who pays for the extra shipping costs for that member?
How do you determine it to be fair? Say in the box there is a couple of nice items of clothing and a few cheap toys... someone takes the clothing and adds a couple of other cheap toys in... then the sends the box on, the next person gets some cheap toys maybe adds some nice things but then pays $10 or whatever for maybe something that was worth $5 and "used". 
Admin actually responded to this thread... I guess their post was just overlooked... |
Gypsy & Me -- I think you are asking VERY logical questions in a very nice manner. Nothing rude at all! Admin did ask some questions, and since no one answered, it did sort of look like their questions got overlooked.
All -- I see this as a very cute idea that would work nicely if it was just for clothes or just for toys or just for items with a similar value and all of our pets were the same size. I think it will be very difficult to manage. I think the potential to be stuck with a high postage fee and only get a box filled with nothing a person can use is very high!
If people really just want to get rid of things, watch how fast low priced or free items move on the Yorkie Products for Sale Forum. If it is the "treasure chest" idea....well I think there will be a few that wind up with a treasure and a bunch that don't. Maybe I am being pessimistic. I was really thinking about doing it at the beginning because it was a cute original idea, then I thought of options (just as Admin mentioned in one of their posts), but, the more I think it through, I think I have decided to stick with the already sanctioned Gift Exchange and Sale Forums.
Wabbit -- But if the project goes forward, I hope everyone winds up with a "treasure" and we have lots of happy Yorkies with their rehomed items! See, even if people ask questions, even if they decide not to participate, they can still hope for the best for those that do. No reason to
"hop" all over anyone for having natural questions about a project that is just in the idea formation stage.
