The Most Popular Subscription Box Swap Items for October 2015

Happy to hear it! We will continue posting every month! 🙂

I had the same issue with swapping my moscow mule mugs and MSC lavender oil (I think these were probably pretty poplular in Sept), I had put will not swap for samples and got 100’s of request from people who only had samples and nail polish. I was about to give up and remove the mugs when I finally got a good offer.

i too have that issue. I have the tray ready to swap but not for nail polish. I need something that is close to RV and then I am trying to factor shipping 🙁 I may just remove as i feel bad turning down swaps for it but on this item i do want close to RV+ S&H. Am I being unrealistic?

Actually, most of the items above I don’t want and have swapped mine away or are in the Christmas “to be gifted” pile. If these seem so desirable, I’m happy as my recipients don’t know about my subs SHHHHH!!!! so they are going to think I paid retail value.
I have to say after all the conversation about the pillow case I am surprised it’s a most wanted
I personally love my coasters but I was also in dire need so I started using immediately Not sure I would have them if they hadn’t shown up on my doorstep

It varies SO MUCH person to person. I, like you, tend not to worry too much about RV. If what I’m trading for is worth it to me, I don’t mind sending stuff with a higher retail value. There are plenty of people who don’t feel that way though, I have been asked if I have anything else not listed in the 2-3 dollar range so we could even out the swap….mind you this was a large swap and she was stressing that what she was sending me was worth 2-3 more than what I was sending her. Also, things in high demand can command swap values far above their RV, so don’t be surprised if you request something on this list and are asked for the world in return. Another factor is shipping, if someone knows try have to drop $10 on shipping they will probably ask you for an extra item or two. In the end, everyone approaches swaps differently and you are sure to find someone that you can work out a trade with that works for both of you (the counter-trade button is great for this, as is just sending a comment to the person explaining your thoughts). It really is a great community – happy swapping!

When a swap seems like it’s going to be really out of whack, I tend to pick something I know someone else will like. So let’s say someone wanted all of my “vintage” Julep doubles or some other insanely heavy swap, but they only had a couple of items I wanted and they were rather light. I would not just consider picking up gifts for my friends and family from their swap offerings, but also check the “ISO” or “followed” lists of some of the MSA swappers I follow, compare them with items available to me in the swap I have in progress and pick up any of ‘their’ stuff as well. That’s a great way for me to pick up things that I already know I can swap for stuff I really do want – or at least better my chances.

Some folks are uncomfortable with what they view as ‘one-sided’ swaps no matter which end of it they feel that they’re on, so even though I don’t pay RV too much mind, I do try and keep that some people really need things to be ‘even’ in mind – and then try and work it so it is advantageous to both of us.

I’m having a very tired, not-all-here kinda day, so I hope that made sense. lol!

The throw would be about $10-$11 to ship priority flay rate.

Yay! Glad you like it! 🙂

Yes – these are the most wanted/requested items from October. If you want to join the swap site, you can sign up here: https://swap.mysubscriptionaddiction.com/

Hopefully, this makes sense – these items are the most requested items for October – but not necessarily the most swapped items. (For example, for every time an item is swapped it has been requested 30X times).
