This isn't the typical exchange that this board usually sees, but you may have heard of it in the past! I got this letter from a relative last summer, and I'm starting it up again this summer!

Here's what the letter says (to give you an idea of how it works):

"Please send a pair of flip-flops to the person whose name is listed as #1 below. Then move my name to the #1 position and put your name in the #2 position. Only your name and my name should appear on the list when you send your letters out. Send the form and a BLANK form to 6 friends.

This is not a chain letter – it is just for fun! If you can’t do this within one week, please let me know so that it will be fair to those participating. A large manila envelope will mail the flip-flops nicely, even ones with a little heel. You should receive 36 pairs of flip-flops for the price of one!! Seldom does anyone drop out because we all love flip-flops. It is fun to see the location from which your flip-flops arrive.

The turn around is extremely fast because there are only two names on the list. You should be receiving your flip-flops within weeks of sending your letters. Please don’t spoil the fun and stop the parade of flip-flops!"

Post here if you'd like in on the Exchange and I'll PM you the information. I already have one person, so I'll take the next 5. Those 5 can either use people here on the DIS or send the letter to their family and friends! :thumbsup2

EDITED TO ADD - We have word that the flip flop swap that was to be starting has been cancelled.
Eeek - I did a google search to see if there's been a flip flop swap recently and I saw this post (http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=24086651&postcount=124). It looks like a flip flop swap is starting on Monday?

I don't want to step on any toes... :( Please let me know if I should go look elsewhere for my five people!

Gotcha! I certainly don't want to interfere with that. :thumbsup2

Hi there. Actually I'm going to have to cancel the flip flop exchange. I just can't host it right now. So no worries about stepping on any toes! ;)

Thanks for letting us know! :thumbsup2

I am still looking for three more people, if anyone is interested. Also, those people are more than welcome to take other DIS people that may be interested if they choose to do so!

Just think - you buy and send ONE pair of flip flops, and you will end up with 36 pairs! :hyper:

Let's have some fun! :cool1:
