And... I'd love to be in a GE that surpasses the largest exchange which had 100+ participants. Believe me when we got close to the 100 mark there were a lot of pm's, telephone calls, and posts encouraging folks to join up. It worked and we all had a blast! Here's the link to GE X. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yt-...x-signups.html

If we had GE's where the spending limit was severely restricted - say a max of $25 to 30 plus shipping and the object was to find those few special things (inexpensive, fun items) that would really make our GE Buddy smile - I believe that we would see more people signing up. And by limiting the amount of $$ one could spend, then all GE participants would be looking for sales, cutsie items, etc. And if it brought a smile to our buddy's face and heart, who would care if the gift wasn't practical.

---- Just a few thoughts from the hearty.

Good point! And I wouldn't care if I got one Cloud 9 bed. It would please my pups and help YHR. Maybe one nice gift wouldn't be such a bad idea. Or like you said. Numerous items limited amount.
