I joined this swap :) could it be possible to set up somekind of requirement for the weight of the beads? ItÂ´s not fair if you send five bigger beads which weight something like 200 grams, and then receive smaller beads weighting 50 grams.

I didn't want to be too restrictive on requirement, but since this is an international swap, I understand your concern about weight.

I can tell you about my package. I have a handful of assorted sized beads and it weighs less than 200 oz total (7g). (I haven't packaged yet so I don't know how much package will weigh)

I have 10-25 of each bead (depends on type) and a handful of different styles. I might throw in a pendant if I find some. Includes well over 100 beads.

I think the value might be more important here, as I would be really upset if I mailed out $15 worth of beads and received a sad package. but... Good call on the weight- it is important when working with international.

I'll throw this out there- should we make a weight requirement? Do we need it? How about at least 100g (3.5 ozs) What do you think? I will add to the Description if we are in agreement.
