Hi Gerry,

Thanks! I am looking forward to seeing your items on swapey!


Hi obdl3945,

It was indeed swapey that kept me so busy. I wanted to test the concept of "showcase" items and a virtual museum with my blog before we spent more time and effort for swapey. The "brainteasers" can be shown in the Research-Hall of the swapey museum.

The advantage of swapey is that it is not only me who uploads showcase items or other photos, but everybody can participate and show their collection or items they have for trade/sale. Hence, it can potentially become much more interesting than the blog with a lot of new exciting items: it becomes the product of a community not only an individual.

The only drawback of course is that there won't be any ebay-auction links anymore. But EdWest ist doing a great job there already. And some of you might be glad that I stopped posting photos from auctions as you may have bought a photo and didn't like the idea that a photo you got for a lot of money is publicly available.

So, I do hope that swapey becomes even more interesting than the blog.

All the best
Roger
