Classic & Vintage - Instant Box of Crap Pass-a-Round-Robin

Been meaning to do this for a while.
First responder here PMs me their address. I send them a box of crap.
Second responder here PMs the first responder. First responder sends second reponder a box of crap.
ad nauseum
Respond here before you PM. Gotta be strict about the pecking order.
"As recieved" picture is a must.

I would like a box of crap. I have plenty of crap to box up and reciprocate. The problem is that I can't send PMs yet.

I am in, I have way too much crap.

Ok, I got Poke em first. PM sent for Email address. Let me know if you don't get this.
frenchy, can I forward you info to Pokey?

yep

Bah. Post office closed early today. Been a lot of that going on around here lately. Monday it is.

How about Tuesday? Monday is a holiday in the US.

They'll be closed on Monday (labor) too.

I've had a Box of Crap just waiting for this!

So, would it be Curbtender that I would be PMing/sending to?

I'm a little slow today due to looking at lots of little holes for the past 3 hours.

:notamused:

So you in Curbtender?

PM sent to Curbtender; awaiting response - BTW, its a good BOC I've got here...

DD

I'm in for it also definitely after DD!

hmm somehow I got kicked out of the loop. did you get my info poke em?

I did get your info. Frenchbikefan will be the one you need to contact, Drillium Dude!

To facilitate ensuring there's no confusion, I think this is the order of business as it stands:

sailorbenjamin sends to
poke em who sends to
frenchbikefan who sends to
pompiere (if he's in) who sends to
curbtender who sends to
Drillium Dude who sends to
Henry III who sends to
(the next lucky person who gets their groove on)

OP - can you confirm this for us? And, if I may make a suggestion: anyone posting to this thread, please state whether or not you are here to comment or to play. That'll take the guesswork out of it. Thanks!

DD

I didn't mean to get into the line, I just was commenting on the Post Office being closed Monday.

Put me on the list, please. And if I may, I will request old English crap. Like that single Brampton BB cup you have kicking around, for example. Or Brooks saddle with the leather peeled up like an old avocado husk. Or the single black Bluemels Club Special fender you have hanging from the plumbing pipes over your work bench. Hey, no harm in asking, right?

To whom do I send my address?

I was going to watch the thread, but count me in. Let me know which order I end up in. Yes, I have some crap...

Check.

OK, I get it...An 11" X 8.5" X 5.5" flat rate box will show up at your door in a week or two. Take out everything that you want and then fill it with everything you don't want.
So this will take a while to move around.

I'll do it too. This sounds fun. The pics will be good.

Um, one detail here that's not clear:

Are we putting our own boxes together and sending immediately to the next person, or awaiting the original box to send along once it (finally) reaches us?

If I have a vote, I vote for the former. It could take months to get to the last person on the list the other way :)

DD

I am in and PM'ing TimmyT.

Well, we each did our own boxes last winter so this time I thought it would be fun to try just one box and see how the parts selection evolved with every player. Just about as exciting as mail chess, huh?

^ Oh, okay. Gotcha!

We might need a bigger box...I have a LOT of crap for Henry III!

DD

Should I go to the LBS and get a bike box and send someone this nice lady's Free Spirit and we can ship it back and forth?

Ugh - no. I'll just have to squash my stuff in there as tight as possible in that case.

DD

I want to do this but I'm worried that my crap might not be good enough. I don't see how my crap could compete with whatever drillium dude for instance, is willing to give away.

Is that the master list for "Box of crap round robin chess"?

Nobody's crap is is as envious as Drillium Dude's

Box of crap away!

Same here, but after giving it some thought, I do have a few things that someone might like. And since we are doing the round robin, you aren't stuck with something you don't need while depriving the next guy who might really want it.

I would like to be added to the list, after Mazdaspeed, since I wasn't really in earlier.

Poke em should have something on his porch by now, hopefully it's not ln a bag and on fire...

Poke him and see!

:)

Box of crap has arrived. There will be a transfer of crap, then it will go on to frenchbikefan. I should be able to get it out tomorrow or monday.

^ Hey, photo "as received" required - let's see whatchoo got there!

DD

I wish I had enough crap to play. One of the downsides of being a newbie I guess.

I'd post one up, but wouldn't it take some of the fun out of it for the next in line?

I was thinking of "as recieved" photos, just so we can see how the crap selection evolves. Perhaps we shouldn't post them till after our victim has recieved their package to preserve the surprise.
What do you guys think?

I'm easy either way. However, there have to be some pics or this will get stale quickly :)

How about some pics of the stuff we take out of the box?

DD

I wait with baited breath for the BOC. I have a few mis-matched bits that someone hopefully can use waiting for the box.

How about this: each recipient, please post a photograph the box on arrival, along with photographs of anything you take out of it and keep. This will let us all know what we're missing. Also photograph the whole contents of the box on arrival, to be posted later.

I plan to meet up with TimmyT in Central Park or someplace like that and document his disappointment as he opens and examines the BOC.:lol:

Can I play? I'm a newb on here but I fix all 3 of my vintage bikes and have a few halfway decent pieces of crap that someone might enjoy.

Absolutely. If you don't have enough posts to PM, you can email me at sailorbenjamin@yahoo.com. I'll get your contact info to your... um... donor.

i would like to participate, though my crap is well crappy

can someone explain the rules? are we sending the same flat rate shipping box?

I think I'm gonna withdraw from the list, I don't have enough useful stuff to send out since I've sold / given away / traded almost all of my extra stuff that is worth using. I have a few things people might want but they're larger items :(

Frenchbikefan! The box is heading your way, should be there by Friday!

hmmm I am going to be gone all weekend, hopefully it is still there sunday!

You don't need a lot of crap for this game. Open the box, see if there's anything in there you want, and if so, replace it with something from your stash. Worse comes to worst, stick a new inner tube or a roll of handlebar tape in there, and send it on. Anyway, I'm putting downtube shifters in the box just for you, so as long as neither Timmy nor Brian snags 'em, they're yours.

Whe your turn comes up, a Box of Crap will show up at your door. Take all the stuff you want out of it, leave the stuff you don't want for the next guy. Fill in the spaces with stuff from your parts bin that you don't know what to do with.

Awe, your far enough down the list. You got plenty of time to dive a dumpster or two.

^ Yeah, what rhm said! Stay the course, Mazda.

And all this about me having the best crap? I don't get it - it's supposed to be CRAP and I ain't about to let anyone down! "Best crap" is an oxymoron.

However, I'll stick something kinda cool in there :)
