Yes, this is taking an opportunity for a self-correction, without having the temptation to take anything. I took stuff I thought I might have a use for and as it turns out I don't. And I'd rather see it back in circulation than sitting gathering dust in my garage. I'm trying to downsize, not collect more stuff. Though all of the contributions have been cleaned and polished, so they might not actually qualify for the BOC anymore ;).

I imagine that some people take crap out of the box with someone else in mind. While it's technically against the rules, no one would know if it happened unless it was mentioned online - it's an honor rule. Now, if you took something from the box with the intention of using it in the future, then awhile later decided to give it to someone else, I guess it's still technically against the rules, wink, wink.

The only hard and fast rule that will get me and many of the players riled up is taking forever to ship it to the next person. We want our crap. We need our crap. We're addicted to our crap. Our methadone is seeing pictures of other people's crap, so take some dang photos and post them, per the rules. Many don't, but it'll only get some growling from the peanut gallery.

Just matriculate the box down field.

I am not in line....I agree and would like to "see" more C than "read" about the C that people got or worse yet "read" about delays...so I vote less verbiage and more "C". :D

I can't remember if it's written into the rules, but it's entirely kosher to evict really crappy, borked crap from the box if you have something to give that is clearly better to take up the resulting space.

Not a rule, but people that have done this have reported a long period of no flats, mechanicals, headwinds, or uphill climbing. When [MENTION=45088]nlerner[/MENTION] volunteered to restart the BOC after it was at a dead halt, cars where known to pull off to the side of the road to let him through, cops waved him through stop signs, and he didn't have to add air to any of his bike tires for several months.

Luxurious hair growth not withstanding, I would like to be added, I have read the rules and will abide by them. I am in need of some crap and I have crap that I don't need.

Update with PHOTOS! First photo is box opened. Second is what I took. I'm not sure the sizes of the tools, but hoping one may be Whitworth.

Nice haul. If you want to fix up the Vx, let me know what's missing - I have a few incomplete that could provide the missing bits.

Honestly, I have as much fun seeing what other people pulled out of the box as I do receiving it myself. Sure, it's like Christmas morning 1973 when you unpack the box, but the experience is quickly tempered by the realization that you need to figure out how to get all of that crap back in there.

All in good faith of course! But I'll obey the rules and come back when I'm there.
