Good point. Let's keep the plates mostly to ones that are useable, just
not good enough the contributor's collection. With that in mind,
probably about half the plates I pulled from Junk Box #1 can go into
Junk Box #3, but I will still ask that we keep the quantity of plates
modest. Certainly though if there are say 5 black 6x6 plates, and you
have one in better shape than the worst one already in the box, consider
doing a swap instead of just an add.

Keeping a small quantity in the box (like a handfull or less). When Junk
Box #1 came through my place, that was about what was in there, and I
left them in. The good points I see about these is that people who don't
get Freestyle/Classic/Basic sets might want a few, someone might have
MOC which needs a ton (if you do, please post in buy-sell-trade, you'll
get tons of respons I guarantee), or someone willing to use Brasso to
turn them into useable bricks.

Probably, but might as well send it to me, though if David wants basic
bricks, it might be worth sending it to him first.

Ok, I should be able to get it going by the end of the week.
