Cool. I'm sure I would find stuff to trade with such a box. I know I have
bits and pieces not worth trying to auction off. Would a reasonable amount
fit in the fixed rate priority envelope, or would that be too high a risk of
damage? That would make it $3.20 to mail along. One thing which would also
help defray the cost, is to look out for folks hosting a gathering within a
week, and mail it to them, then a group of people get a chance at the
package, and can share the cost of the next hop. I'd also encourage people
to post to this (or another) newsgroup with stories about the pieces they
take or put in ("Hey, watch for the red froozle-doozle, I found it on the
side of the road in east nowhere." or "I've been looking for a blue
biggle-boggle for years, now I can build my mini-fig scale woozer, see the
pictures on my web site.").
