Interest in a Crap Swap?
We did this on AudioKarma years ago, and it was a lot of fun
 Basically, you fill a box with stuff that you'd love to see someone put to use that you don't want to simply discard, and have been holding on to for years. You send the stuff to another VK member, and get a mystery box from someone else. I'd be drawing the names at random and collecting the addresses for those who sign up. The end result is that someone else puts your stuff to use, and you get a new box full of cool stuff! We'd have to make it so that everyone's swapped material would fit inside one of those USPS flat rate boxes, to make it fair. Those that wanted to go overboard I guess would be welcome to do so. Doesn't necessarily have to be directly TV related, for example I have a few neat LED calculators that could make it inside a box, along with some other stuff...... Would anyone be interested in participating?

I was selling mystery boxes on ARF for a little while, and had fun with it. Basically just let them go for cost of shipping (medium flatrate boxes) plus a couple bucks. I would be willing to try doing a swap. Lord knows I have plenty of stuff to pass along!

I don't mind giving my junk away, but getting more might be a bit difficult to justify....

Hey Kam-a
I'd love to attend once everyone decides on the time and place. I have some stuff which is NOT junk that I'll gladly give away or trade for stuff I can use more. Like you said, the A-K meets are always great so this could be even better! TVs! CRTs! haha

Nope! Let's give everyone else until Friday to sign up here in the thread. On Saturday, I'll get everyone's addresses and draw names

I'd love to do a one way crap swap, I send you my crap but get nothing in return.
 Can't fit Sony CRT sets in a Flat rate box, have several I'd like to go to good homes. I was the guy who got the 1B3's.
