My one suggestion is about the tickets, this morning I have over 113 tickets to spend and I'm sure I won't be using them all, if any more. I don't know how my ticket count compares to others, but I'm thinking maybe at some point in the swap, the ticket window can close. Or, maybe it could be stretched out like the dibbs, collecting tickets every other day or something like that? Just a thought. Although now that I'm writing this I'm thinking, maybe it's not so bad to have so many tickets, I might be more likely to want what I can't have than what I can. Hilarious! *Blush* or, if it were to cut off at 100 or something like that, I might be more inclined to keep looking for more seeds to get to my limit.

Thank you, Dave, for putting together such an amazing feature.



This morning, I was thinking about the extra tickets. I do not know if the system would allow this, but could they possibly be made like Acorns, where we can gift them to people. An example would be someone in a swap wants to merely give seed, not planning on getting anything. The tickets are very precious early on in a swap and someone might mention in a post they want whatever thing, but have no more tickets. Could then others be able to then give that person one or more of their own?

I guess I have more of this than I thought... Yesterday I picked out a popcorn. Now I have to look into pollination times, if I want to save this seed, to make sure this would not get cross- pollinated with field corn. At least if the neighbors rotate, then the closest corn would be about a half mile or more away next year.
