Be careful. chuks might send you one of her in-laws.
[/QUOTE]
Nah I’ll keep the in-laws and just send one of my parents. The in-laws aren’t half as much trouble.
I really hadn’t thought of that Fiver, maybe you’ll be the lucky recipient of my WE. 
Ummmm…
Update?

What sort of update would you like, oh stripey one? 
Well I haven’t gotten an address.
When are you going to send those out?
As per post #5

Lets make the cut off September 1st just because I like that date and it will give people a long time to sign up.

You’ve got another two weeks to cool your jets I’m afraid.
My box is getting full!
:happy dance:
I’m off the week before the deadline and will be at home, cleaning out the basement, among other parts of the house. I expect to have an interesting collection for my box.
Finally got off my lazy ass and sent my email. Phew!
I’ve got loads and loads of goodies, thanks to cleaning out my father’s estate last year. Guaranteed to have nifty piles of junky goodness waiting on your doorstep! I mean, Treasures Of The Universe!
Oooh! I want to play, I got the neatest box o’crap a couple of years ago.
I’m in! I’ve never done this before, but I already have a couple of ideas… this should be fun!
So, I have no updated list yet. That is because I’m getting ready for the mondo-garage-sale-from-hell, which is happening tomorrow.
The stuff I don’t sell is going in a box. Heh. Hehe. HehahahahahahahBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Heh.
Can I be a one-way participant? As wonderful as your boxes of stuff will surely be, I simply don’t have room for it. My SO would kill me (if I didn’t manage to off myself first) if I accepted one more item into our teeny-tiny apartment. But oh boy do I have stuff I could send.

I have a metric assload of crap…

Wow, that sounds positively desirous!
Seriously, I’m in. PM sent.

I think I have mentioned it before but here are a few USPS Flat Rate (FRB) shipping rates:
FRB1 - 11" X 8.5" X 5.5" $9.80 Domestic / no weight limit, $23.95 to Canada and Mexico- $38.95 to all other countries, 20 lb weight limit applies to international shipping
FRB2 - 11-7/8" x 3-3/8" x 13-5/8" - $9.80 Domestic / no weight limit, $23.95 to Canada and Mexico- $38.95 to all other countries, 20 lb weight limit applies to international shipping.
Large FRB - 12” x 12” x 5-1/2” $12.95 Domestic / no weight limit, $29.95 to Canada and Mexico- $49.95 to all other countries, 20 lb weight limit applies to international shipping.
If you’re shipping something somewhat heavy like a brass thing-a-ma-bob or some books and they will fit into one of these boxes it is definately going to be less expensive to send them this way. For example, I recently received 8 books that shipped USPS domestic for $13. They would have all fit in a FRB1 box and shipped for $9.80 with room to spare. Ok, saving $3.20 may not get you a gallon of gas, but it’s still $3.20. If you are mailing something quite light or something that does not fit in one of these boxes then shop around for the best bargain.
These boxes, plus labels and stuff, are all available free online at http://shop.usps.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10152
By the way, I’ve some crap in my shed I’d like to get rid of, I’m in. PM on it’s way.

You’ll just have to send a lot and hope you send more than you get.
