I would love to participate, but I am very new to collecting. Perhaps after 2022 ends I will have gathered some specimens for trading (that are typically quite valued and rare in the hobby!)

As a participant in the swap box rotation for most of the rounds (I think I missed the first one or two), I would also agree that the benefits outweighed the troubles, at least for me. What I received from the swap box added numerous species to my collection which are not often available and certainly not native to my area. I'm grateful for those members who diligently followed the rules and were communicative. That being said, it was quite disheartening to see the volume of issues which arose from both members and the USPS. The rules which were simple if they were at least read, seemed to be too much for members to follow. No matter how many times communication was urged, it was often unclear who had the box. I certainly expected more from a group of experienced and serious collectors. I would be up for another swap box if the opportunity arose.
Thanks for all the time and effort you put in Chuck.

I too enjoyed the swap box. I think the problems were with 1-2 participants. It would be nice to see it go around again.
