We have another puzzle swap/sale! Here's our meetup chance to offload or stock up jigsaw puzzles for the winter months AND have the opportunity to support local charity.
429 Parkdale Avenue, Ottawa
at Parkdale United Church - park at P1!
Begin set-up at 12:30 pm.
Buy/Sell/Trade begins at 1:00 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 March 21, 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 fall swap (around October 24) in the West end!
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.
