an exchange of many scans produced a trade of quantity (275 items) and quality. choice items from brazil, hard-to-find countries of the caribbean and south america, as well as from the arctic north (greenland, iceland, faroe is.) has provided me a mappamundi in caps. aurelio, muito obrigado pela sua paciência e até a próxima troca.. junho 2022.

your neatly wrapped package arrived in record time and with pretty Polish postage affixed, no less. my compliments to you for the creation of a striking, user-friendly website that was a big aid in the selection process. as well, many appreciative thanks in being so accommodating. this potpourri of caps received contains some welcome beauties from Algeria, Azerbaijan, Cyprus, etc. thanks ever so much!

great to have the infusion of superb Canadian caps in my collection, plus some gems from the Caribbean. thanks, Michel to you and your energetic youngsters in making this a smooth exchange. Et, oui, à la prochaine...!

thanks for the plethora of german and swiss caps, as well as a highly sought after item from oceania. prompt email replies accompanied by humorous emoticons were also appreciated. beat, if you will permit me a pun, i have found all to be "unbeatable".

in my 7 yrs. of collecting, my trade with michel has been the best ever. a small one, but one abounding with quality. adding these caps to my collection will be better than winning the Irish Sweep Stakes and El Gordo simultaneously. thanks, too, to michel for his kind indulgence. should you ever come to the States you have the standing offer of a free beer! or more? May our future have more "beaux échanges"!

alexander, multumesc for the beautiful caps. finally, after 118 in transit, they arrived today. i hope that the political situation in your Moldova and Ukraine will improve. Slava Ukraini!---gerry

good communication for a good trade. thank you, andrea. a presto!

a small, but pleasant trade: usa caps for greek. ilias gives every indication of being a generous person and a collector who is responsible and very knowledgeable.good luck in building your greek-cyprus holdings.

hae verba ante diem ix mensis martii MMCCII scriptae sunt. Ave...! Nik, commertia nostra LXXII coronnarum ex terra iaponica in communitationem pro ipso numero ex terra americana mihi multum placuit. informationes tuae super multas coronnas etiam multum aestimo. speremus ut in diebus futuris nos alteram communitationem experior potamus ut augendas feliciter collectiones nostras... .atque Vale!

have had several trades with benji over the years. these have always been conducted without a hitch. his emails reveal a very pleasant and cooperative collector. while on the small side, our exchanges have nevertheless helped to quell my mental wanderlust. hopefully, more exchanges await the both of us.

havala vam, matjaž, for all the caps from the former yugoslavia. your nicely packaged items arrived in record time, while mine to you took triple the time with more than odd routing. go figure! for me, however, the pièce de resistance cap for this armchair traveler was guadeloupe. indeed, another trade sometime in the near future would be most welcome.

A modest (30 caps) but fruitful exchange, with superb caps from Sri Lanka and Armenia. Am looking forward to more pleasant exchanges with Rich!

Steve, thank you for facilitating a trade of 96 caps. While i appreciate the large number of Scandinavian caps, the pièce de resistance was/is the cap from the Aland Islands.Your humor , exuberance, care were always omnipresent in our email exchanges. The Stockholm-Port Townsend transit took 23 days. A sign that perhaps matters are returning to "normal"? Hopefully, there be future exchanges in the offing.

My nicely wrapped 190 caps arrived from Buenos Aires in "record time." 31 days, in fact. The 100 or so Argentine caps therein make me wonder whether there are any beer caps left in tango and asado land. Thanks, Luís, for the friendly exchange that included humor, cultural tidbits, and, last but not least, interesting bottle caps. ¡Hasta el próximo canje!

thanks for kindly facilitating my largest trade ever. your package arrived in good order and record time. Robert, much success in your hunt.

amic, toni. thank you for this our third trade. may i hope for a 4th?! compliments on your carefully planned website, wherein countries are alphabetized and beer caps are presented separated from non-beer. it also helps the selection process to have your guide posts animated. a very user-friendly effort on your part. once again: ¡ moltíssimes gràcies!

Thanks so much for the pleasant and profitable trade. The caps were carefully packed and of excellent quality. Surprised at how much "exotic" traders you have and wish that I had equally attractive material to have lured more away. At least, I now have Angola, Tunisia and Tajikistan. Ain't bad for a first trade. I can only hope that our paths will again cross and that you continue having success and enjoyment with our mutual hobby.

A pleasure to have traded with this young and enthusiastic collector. Caps nicely package and expeditiously handled. Hope to have other trades down the road. Thank you, colleague!

a very smooth exchange with a friendly and cooperative collector. caps arrived in record time and vg. condition. would happily exchange w. Stephan again.
