Traditional "White Elephant inspired" idea

[Ed T]

Hi Everyone,
I have been away from the forums for a bit and have come back recently. I had a divorce and am dramatically downsizing. Along the years of collecting, I have come across a lot of curiosities and interesting things. History has shown that one man's white elephant can be another's long sought item.

All that being said, I am thinking of putting together an "if it fits, it ships" box of these items. They will all have small value, but at least one item will be worth the postage. I will ship the box to another person who sends the postage via paypal. That person can take one or more of the items they want and add at least one item that would have value for someone else. Then the next person would paypay the cost of postage and it would ship to them. it can continue until it stalls, or the end of the year?

If you are interested, please respond. I will post a picture this evening.

It is intended to be a fun activity. Its not a giveaway. Its not a pass around. Its not completely like a white elephant.

Let me know what you think.

This should work.
Except I was going to say that we have other pass-around threads and I see you say this isn't one.

It is different in the sense each person takes some thing or things and passes it on with something new added. Just a silly idea. Quirky stuff serious stuff, who knows. I will post a picture of the initial contents. in a bit.

I might be interested. Pends on what’s in it and so forth.

Well, here is the batch. Not everything fit in the box. As a note, the sharpfinger is a china one, so don't get too excited anyone.
Have fun puzzling out what is in the box and what isn't. If anyone wants to play, let me know.

Clearly this will be regulated by the person in possession of the box. I have done worse things with $10.40

A padded flat rate mailer is the same cost, and you can stuff more in.

Neat stuff though.

Still sounds exactly like our other two Pass-Arounds here on the Porch... but I say "Go for it", nothing wrong with having all three of them going.

Go for it.
