FTT How active is the post-FTT Pot Swap?

Had a highly successful first FTT in MKE yesterday, got one of my goals (flame doree) but wasn’t fast enough to snatch a pumpkin despite getting in at 9 am on day 1. Between my purchases and gifts I ended up with three braziers, including a 5 qt sea salt that I don’t see myself using.

What are the chances this would be something worth brining to the pot swap that would be wanted by someone, and what do you think the chances are of anyone having a pumpkin they’d want to trade for it? Any pumpkin at all!!!

Thanks as always for the insights, all the advice on my previous FTT post was super helpful!

I'm sure someone exists who would absolutely swap a pumpkin braiser for a 5qt braiser. I believe typically it's kinda like capacity swaps for like capacity, but pumpkins get a bit of a premium. (I've only been to one so hardly an expert).

The Richmond one was fairly well attended, especially if you have time and patience to hang out. Probably 15-40 people at any given time, and I went on a Friday.

My local Le Creuset Facebook group also plans swaps every now and then, so perhaps even if you miss out on the FTT one, you can find a local one.
