I like your website. How can I support you?
|
Thank you very much. There are different ways to support me:
-
I'm very happy receiving mail with fruitsticker-donations. You can find my surface-mail address here:
Imprint & contact .
Please let me known, whether I may list you on my
Sponsors-page.
-
If you are a fruit-dealer, I am willing to create a special page with foto(s) and details (address, opening hours, etc.) about your business.
Please have a look at this sample-page:
-
This website offers a variety of languages to select. I am only capable of German and English language.
For that reason, I permanently look for help with the translation of some text (like this FAQ-page) into the other languages.
If you feel willing and capable to do such a task, please contact me for further details via email:
obstaufkleber at arcor.de
-
In case you have relatives and/or friends outside of Germany, it would be a nice idea to ask them
to collect fruitstickers and mail them once or twice per year via yourself or directly to me.
-
In the category "Unknown" you will find all stickers from unknown kinds of fruit or vegetable.
When you can tell the kind of fruit or vegetable of a specific sticker by looking at it, please send me an email with that information
or add it as comment to that sticker.
-
If you run your own website, you may place a link to Fruitsticker.de on it
using the example from the bottom of my Trade Partners-Seite.
|
|
I would like your website to support another national language. Is that possible?
|
Principally yes. But it depends upon the availability of a matching language-pack at the website of the underlying image gallery management system.
If there is no matching language-pack and you feal willing and capable to translate text from an already supported language to the desired one,
I will be glad to email you a text-file and a description on how to translate it. You may re-email the text-file after translation
and I will provide the desired national language support.

|
How is the quality of your duplicates?
|
The displayed sticker is part of my collection. All corresponding duplicates are usually of similar quality.
In rare cases the quality of a duplicate may be obviously substandard. When trading such a duplicate I will notice you
and/or send a scan of the duplicate prior to mailing it. As a basic guideline I will mail only stickers I would accept for my own collection.
|
|
For which period of time are stickers marked as new?
|
That is a configurable admin parameter. Right now stickers are marked as new for period of 30 day(s).
|
|
Your collection contains quite a few very nice and rare unicate stickers. Do you trade them?
|
No, I'm sorry. As a basic guideline I only trade duplicates.
If the sticker is among the most recent ones, you may send me an email and I will look
for it during my next shopping tours.
|
|
What's about voting/rating stickers?
|
- Only Registered users may vote for each sticker only once by rating it from 1 (Flop) to 5 (Top) points.
- On the Statistics-Page you can see - among other information - the most voted and best rated sticker.
|
|
The refernce-#'s of your sticker show different colors. Why is that?
|
The meaning of the reference-#'s colors is given below:
- Red: This is a unicate sticker not available for trading.
- Green: This is a duplicate sticker available for trading without any restrictions.
- Blue: This is a duplicate sticker available for trading only with some restrictions. Restrictions may be looked up at the stickers detail page.
Just click at the sticker thumbnail. If you can offer a suitable label, I'll be happy to trade.
- Turquoise: This is an Oldie duplicate sticker available for trading only at a rate of 1:5 or for another Oldie sticker.

What are the basic rules using the search function?
|
When using the search function keep these simple basic rules in mind:
- The search function will find only strings with a length of three or more characters.
- An apostrophe (') may not be part of a search term. So if you want to find all melissa's labels, just search for melissas (without apostrophe).
- German special characters ä,ö,ü,Ä,Ö,Ü,ß may not be part of a search term. They need to be replaced by ae,oe,ue,Ae,Oe,Ue,ss when entering a search term.
So if you want to find all labels related to the search term süß, just search for suess.
- If you don't know which database field contains the search term, leave the radio-button All fields active.
- When searching for stickers with a specific color you will have to use german search terms:
rot, gruen, blau,
gelb, braun, schwarz,
weiss, rosa, violett,

Irregulaer (covering all shapes previously not mentioned) ...

How can I find your duplicates?
|
Most easy:
To show all duplicates just click at the link All duplicates in the upper right corner of the page.
To limit the search to duplicates of a certain brand proceed as described below:
- Enter Duplikat into the text-entry box at the pagehead.
- You may enter additional searchwords (i. e. and Chiquita) separated by SPACE characters to further limit the search.
- Click the Search button.
- All matching duplicates will be displayed.
|
|
I'm interested only in duplicates of a certain kind of fruit. How can I find these duplicates?
|
That's easy too:
- Click the "Advanced search" link at the pagehead to skip to the Search page
- Enter Duplikat into the "Search by Keyword" search-text entry-box.
- Choose the desired kind of fruit (i. e. Kiwifruit) from the Category drop-down list.
- You may enter additional keywords (i. e. Zespri) separated by SPACE characters to further limit the search.
- Select AND or OR as "search term" to link all entered keywords.
- If you did not enter additional keywords activate the "Only Trade-Info"-radio-button to speed-up the search.
- Click the Search button.
- All matching Kiwifruit duplicates will be displayed.
|
|
In your collection there are quite a lot of stickers which can't be found using search function,
even when they match the search criteria 'optically'. Why is that?
|
That's because some fields in the database records for those stickers are filled with default values yet. I will continously change that whenever I can spare the time necessary.
So the accuracy of the search function will increase as time goes by. I will notice you in this place as soon as all database-records are complete.

Trading
|
|
What is your trading procedure?
|
A trade proceeds as follows:
-
Incoming trade-requests will be answered in sequence of arrival (first in - first out) as soon as possible.
Therefore it may happen that a specific duplicate is no longer available because someone requested it with an email
which arrived prior to your trade-request.
-
It may occur that email trade-requests are not answered instantly because I don't look at incoming emails every day. Beside of that, I may
occasionally get sick, beeing on a vacation or a business trip. Usually you can expect an answer within one week. If there is no answer
after one week, you should re-email your trade-request.
-
You should use the build-in email trade-request function of the lightbox containing a text entry field for comments on each sticker
to indicate the sequence of the stickers you would like to trade (starting with 1 = ämost wanted“).
Please use the related radio-button to indicate whether or not you would like a scan of the duplicates you selected for trade
in order to check their quality prior to mailing them.
-
If you run your own website showing your duplicates, please put the URL in the related field
in the head of the email trade-request form.
-
If you don't run your own website, you will have to send me an additional email via your usual email-provider with an appending .ZIP-file
containg scans (JPG or GIF) of all your available duplicates.
-
I will select from your duplicates as many as you selected from mine. If I select less duplicates from yours than you selected from mine,
I will send you an equal amount of duplicates of your choice in your declared sequence of interest. If requested, I will email you
a scan of all duplicates you selected prior to mailing them.
-
If it is our first trade and it was started by your trade-request, I ask you to mail your duplicates first. Instantly after receiving
your duplicates I will mail the duplicates you selected. If our trade was started by me, I will mail my duplicates first, of course.
On future trades I will mail my duplicates simultaneously with yours.

Lightbox and Email Trade Request
|
|
I would like to trade. But so many duplicates are displayed. How can I keep track?
|
Proceed as described below (only registered user):
- To use the Lightbox buttons of the stickers, JavaScript needs to be enabled in your browers settings !!!
- Login with your userid and password via the Registered users box on the left side of the page.
- Use the links Search, Advanced search or All duplicates at the pagehead to find duplicates.
- Click the Lightbox button at all duplicates you are interested to trade.
- Skip to the Lightbox page by clicking the Lightbox link in the Registered users box on the left side of the page.
- At the Lightbox page all previously selected duplicates will be displayed.
- By clicking the Lightbox button again you may deselect any of the displayed duplicates from within the Lightbox page.
- You may even leave the Lightbox page to search for and select additional duplicates without loosing the previously selected duplicates on return to the Lightbox page.
- After finally selecting all duplicates you want for trade, please click the Email Trade Request link.
- In the email form all necessary pagehead fields are already filled in. You may fill in the optional fields and add an individual comment for each duplicate.
- By clicking the Submit button at the end of the email form, your trade request will be sent towards Fruitsticker.de.
- If the email form consists of multiple pages, you will have to send each page separately by clicking the Submit button.
- Please don't modify or delete the contents of the lightbox after submitting all pages of your trade request unless I tell you it's ok to do so!
This is because I need those contents to prepare your letter with the requested stickers.
- A copy of the trade request(s) will be sent to the email address, with which you became a registered user.
- Incoming trade requests will be answered in sequence of arrival (first in - first out) as soon as possible.
