Conversation goes like this-

Me-
Hi, would you be willing to ship to Australia and if so for how much?

Seller-
I will ship for free.... in exchange for an established contact say perhaps 2 large Cherry Ripes, or a package of Arnots chochy teddys or dark choc timtams. Currently I'm good on vegemite. Sounds fair let me know.

Me-
Lol what? You want me to send you food and in return you ship the card to me for free? I don't know if I can even send that stuff overseas, not to mention it would cost a bit for packs of biscuits

Seller-

I don't even know where to go with this one, never encountered anything like it...
 
The dude obviusly want some snacks. Yin regards to sending food, i have in the past sent to usa chocolate bars
 
dude thats amazing hahaha totally send him the food, might make a great contact.
 
Brilliant, I would send him the stuff and also direct him to OCT and he can have a hundred penpals and as much cherry ripes his heart can contend with whilst we enjoy the comedy value.
 
Thats all good and well, but what I'm sending to him will be more than what postage would be for the card. Not to mention I hate spending more time than I have to waiting in line at the post office...
 
/\/\ its more about helping a dude out. if it was me hed get a package. you can sense he desperately misses cherry ripes...for some reason.
