We have another puzzle swap/sale! Here's our meetup chance to offload or stock up jigsaw puzzles.429 Parkdale Avenue, Ottawa
at Parkdale United Church - we have all their parking lots for Oct 24.
Begin set-up at 10:30 am.
Buy/Sell/Trade begins at 11:00 am.
Clean up begins around noon
Must return empty room by 12:30 pm.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Please secure your puzzle pieces to prevent loss or accidents. (E.g., ziplock bag, elastic band around the box, or painter's tape)
2. Admission goes directly to the cost of venue space to hold this event.
(i.e., On October 24, the cost of admission is crowdfund from all attendees to recoup rent from
Parkdale United Church)
3. Respect that Buy/Sell/Trade starts strictly after 1:00 pm, and not before.
4. Bring as many puzzles as you want.
5. Think of how you want to transport your puzzles. Tote bags? Rubber bins? Stroller basket? Pulled around the room in a wagon?
6. You choose whether to set up a station, or wander around the room with your puzzles. When we rent indoor venues, there will always be tables provided on-site (the group may have to set up the tables, to keep the rental fees affordable).
* surplus monies from crowdfunding will go towards securing a new year swap here again
7. Do you have a way to separate your Available/Out puzzles versus ones that you just traded/accepted/In? For some people, that's a separate bin under the table. Others put away their new puzzles in an opaque bag or covered by a hoodie.
8. Yes, you can sell puzzles. Come with cash. Come with your puzzle boxes labelled with the price, using either painter's tape or sticky notes.
9. Yes, puzzles with missing pieces do sell - or can be swapped for another puzzle with missing pieces. Please label how many are missing - and where, if possible. Thank you for making the puzzle community ecofriendly and ethical.
10. Members typically post their anticipated 'out' pile on the week of the swap date. Posts are on the main Ottawa Puzzle Swap/Sell page. You can share what's in your pile too. This gives others an idea of the puzzle options.
