This is an excellent idea. In fact, the next time you send a payment using
check or money order simply include a few of these with the payment. I don't
think there are many sellers out there that would NOT want to receive these
bags. For me, the smaller the better--the tiny ones are just perfect for one
assembled minifig, for example. So, anyone who wants to put all those little
baggies to good use, send them to your friendly neighborhood Bricklink seller.
I will gladly accept as many as people want to send to me. Let me know and I
will provide my mailing address.
