Face to face meet ups work for those that want to arrange that, but I encourage those offering plants be able to mail them because that can reach a larger amount of people.
:iagree: Plus if you live too far from each other. It sucks but mailing it is more gas efficient than driving to meet 60mins to meet. I like to mail my offer if person lives more 30min away.
I have met some folks but I was trading plants for fish so it isn't the same as just shipping a plant in a baggie with a moist paper towel. Shipping fish is expensive. Shipping plants, especially in Western WA is cheap and can even be safely done with regular old First Class mail if properly packaged and mailed in the heated Post Office building. I'll drive 50 miles for an interesting fish (we have a Prius). I won't drive 50 miles for a plant (with some Rare Exceptions).
I totally understand that I would do the same. On the other hand ill drive 15 minutes to drop off or pick up plants if I can meet another member and maybe see someone else's awesome tank(s).
My offer to next person are
2 baby Echinodorus major (amazon swords), few stems Limnophila aromatica (rice paddy), few rooted stems Nymphoides sp. ''Taiwan", few stems Ceratopteris cornuta (wisteria), and small clump Monosolenium tenerum (pellia or something)
