Well, that may be. It appears that there are four people interested and
if we four pass it around a couple times, we might agree with you and
decide to call it quits.

I doubt that's true. I've come up with several sets of rules for which
that's just not the case. Keep in mind there is the uber-rule that this
is a jambalaya box and that you can make any fair trades at all that the
rules don't regulate. So, you don't so much have to follow the rules as
simply fail to violate them.

Meaning that the postage isn't even close to the worth of the parts that
you've gotten? I still haven't received any boxes so I don't have an
opinion yet. I guess I've put a lot of value into the box that's 'mine'
and haven't gotten anything, but I hope to.

I imagine that we're all in it for the fun, rather than as a savy trade
mechanism. Those kinds of rules are fun for some of us. We'll see what happens.
