This is where we post our wishes - maybe things we collect, something we can no longer find in our area, things we have always wanted etc, etc. No wish is too big, you never know what will turn up.

We must abide by PBS rules :
You may not wish for money, or monetary donations for any charities ( you may ask for things you collect for charities, like stamps, can tabs etc., but not for money)
No buying or selling or advertising.
No wishing for credits (Credits are bought, sold and loaned only in the Book Bazaar forum, or use the PBS Kiosk to purchase)

Do NOT ask for books, since books are swapped on the site and book deals are made in the Book Bazaar. You may not ask for free books of any kind sorry. (Unpostables are given away in the damaged book thread of the Bazaar and sometimes in the RAOK thread)

Our own RAOK rules: Please
Do not offer payment for the things you are sent, including postage. RAOKs are given freely, asking nothing in return except a thank you. Try to pay it forward, maybe grant a wish yourself.

Please limit your wishes t0 nomore than 10. Lists get very long. You can alwasys edit as you go along.
Unlike many other forums, we ask that you do NOT reply within the threads. We do everything by PM between members. This keeps the threads clutter free and easy to use. When you go to the wishes, you see wishes. In the RAOK, it's all things we are giving away - simple and easy.
And please do not post your address in the thread - it's all done via PM.
Please, if you post wishes, be prepared to check in and answer your PMs. It's frustrating when people want to grant your wishes and don't hear from you!

You do need to say THANK YOU. See our monthly ****thank you thread****, or you may acknowledge what you have received via a personal PM to the members who granted your wishes. This is very important if you wish to continue to receive things from others.


Tips :
Check the RAOK forum before you post wishes -- things may already be there for the asking!

If you see a wish you can grant, just PM the poster for their address.

And please remember, if one of the moderators contacts you about a posting, we are only trying to keep the forum running smoothly and according to PBS rules. If you are asked to change, move, or delete your post, please do so. Most of you know the PBS team does get involved to edit posts and accounts do get suspended if rules are broken. We hate to see that happen to our fellow RAOKers!

If you have questions, feel free to contact me.

ALL:  I'd like to update the spreadsheet that I created last year to have everyone's major "want" coupons in one place.  If you would like to be included on the list, please PM me the coupons that you can always use when they come out.  I haven't heard from several folks in quite awhile that were on my "regular" send list, so I'm guessing they don't need them anymore.  Anyway, I know several of us found the one page list of everybody's wants convenient.  Just let me know if you want to be included.  The list will be kept updated on the 2014 coupon thread in RAOK.

I have one wish for April: scarves

Do you have any scarves lying around, collecting dust?
Any scarves would be most welcome (except no wool please, I am allergic.)

Anything I can use to still look nice while covering my head is great.. the two I have are rather plain.

Thank you.

Happy April! <3 

My wishes are:

- Coke codes

- Any kinds of tea or coffee (nothing with lemon, please)

- Anything related to Japan

- This might be an usual wish, but I am wishing for clip-on earrings, especially tiny to medium size stud earrings, hoops, or ones that dangle. My ears are pierced but didn't heal properly, so wearing pierced earrings hurt my ears and cause the holes to tear. I haven't worn earrings for years because of it but would love to start again with clip-ons (which are now hard to find).

Happy April!

The only thing that I am in need of is if anyone has an old used **Verizon** (or unlocked? Not sure how that works really) iPhone that's just sitting around collecting dust? My phone is dying quickly (:I have to restart it 3-4 times a day:( and my contract doesn't let me get a new phone til September. I don't care if it's got scratches/cracks/whatever, any age/version/iOS,  as long as it works! Thanks so much.
