Please help me clean my swap list

I am now doing a winter cleaning of my swap list. My goal is that my swap list will be empty by the end of the year, so please don't hesitate to ask for swaps.

I know this will mean a huge amount of swaps, but I'm hoping for big swaps. I usually ask for current circulating coins and silver coins in return. A typical swap looks something like 35:8. I also usually add a few extras, sometimes even a dozen, if I feel like I'm getting more than I deserve. 😇

I'd like big swaps. And with big, I mean over 50. Maybe even 100. So, please don't hesitate to propose a huge swap. The bigger the better. Please help me clear my swap list. 🙏

Wish i could help, but postage to you is insanely high

Yeah, I have an average postage og 9 € per swap. Sometimes I even have to pay 10 € to release the receiving letter from customs. This is why I prefer larger swaps. But yes, it's very costly. 😔

When the giant economies that are still for some reason classed as developing (and as such pay very little for shipping) will be reclassed to their rightful class shipping might once again become affordable and reduce the amount of garbage being bought and thrown away shortly after.

Really swapping wouldn't be worth it since you don't have any precious metal coins nor any high valued numismatic coins.

No, I'm not an investor, I'm a collector.

I am open to swap. But I don't know if there are any coins or banknotes on my list that might interest you. If there is, please feel free to propose a swap.

Then you did not have to respond to this thread😂

Why do you think the extreme rise in shipping fees in the last 2-3 years is due to chinese low shipping fees? It's more the result of bad management and greediness of postal “services” worldwide. With so many low cost airlines one should expect the fees to go down, not skyrocket up! 

An initial price hike was long before Covid when international shipping companies over the board increased their rates because of American trade deficits or something similar, the EU following and making imports a hassle. That's where I stopped ordering any numismatic purchases from the US and similarly far of and developed places. The costs were hiked extremely and custom checks were nearly 100% regardless of size/weight/value (leading to long shipping times and even higher costs).

The price hikes in the Covid/post-Covid times largely come from supply chain disruptions, staff and container shortages, pot congestions and rising fuel costs. Other geopolitical issues including the ones for the earlier hike still persist and have increases with the Ukraine war. If the middle east turns to glass maybe it will even get more expensive (we can only hope not).
