acidjaguar | 258 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I'll vouch too. I'd also like to participate! Do I need a recommendation / vouching? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need a recommendation / vouching? I vote @acidjaguar "least likely to need someone to vouch for him." Also, I call dibs on coming after acidjaguar in the list. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I call dibs on coming after acidjaguar in the list. I second this sentiment and I'd also like to ask if the list will be randomized or if it's the ordered entered. Also, I assume/hope any handle games/manuals work. This would include Wonder Swan, Atari Lynx, NGage if some ones crazy enough to throw in a Game & Watch... well you're crazy, but I think it'd be worth the room and cost to ship. I'm sure there are others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the main list (so far) of people committed to this box. This is not to be confused ad the order of which the box will be sent out: @RH I believe these are the answers, which I agree SHOULD be the answers: the list will be randomized and ANYTHING handheld is allowed. I'm hoping to see some fringe stuff! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae247 | 207 Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Today is the last day to hop on the train. If anyone is interested please speak on the thread! Looking forward to getting this going!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RH | 4,817 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Can I make a suggestion? Let all participants speak up and mention if they'd be willing to start the box. If so, randomly choose a participant to be the first person. That individual loads up the box (let's try to set a minimal value for the box) and the at the end, the final box is shipped to them. Basically, instead of picking and choosing, the one lucky participant will get a small box filled with who knows what?! I'll be happy getting to pick in choose. I'd also be happy to end up with the end beef goods. What do you think @Mae247 & everyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mae247 | 207 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 I would feel like an ass honestly since I suggested starting the box. If everyone is adamant about it then I’ll go for it. I just wouldn’t feel right doing it to anyone. I have quite a bit of stuff to include in the box already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardhead | 2,806 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Oh shit. I’m in if there’s room. I’ve got some fun handheld stuff to throw in a box. As far as starting the box, I don’t have enough “filler” to load up a large flat rate box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae247 | 207 Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) I would like to know everyone's opinion on what types of games they look forward to seeing most in the box. Of course no one will put a $100 game in the box unless they are feeling frisky lol. I know quite a few people have mentions a price point for this box. In the past when I have done these even shovel wear has been welcomed as some of us on here go for complete sets and may find something they just weren't willing to spend the $1 out in the wild just because. Yes I know we all have these types of things laying around but please be cognoscente of what you already see in the box. Just trying to gauge what I will pitch in.

JVOSS | 1,757 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) question. will we need to declare value for shipping? what kind of value do we put on this. and will/should we pay for the add insurance. (i do know i will be paying the insurance difference) i don't want to be that guy that the box is lost on... and i will be taking photos of contents before and after for that reason. Whats the thought from everyone, @Mae247 Edited October 23, 2020 by JVOSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the thought from everyone, @Mae247 I wouldn’t put anything in the box that would hurt your feelings or piss you off if usps were to be their normal royal fuck ups. Honestly, I would put it this way, usps is known for not giving fair value for retro gaming claims and would not care to replace things at all. More so of a hassle than it’s worth. This would be a choice each participant could make on their own. Not speaking for everyone by the way but this is just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidjaguar | 258 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I will say that I have not been able to get paid on insured mail by the USPS for problems on their end in a ratio of about 1 in the last 10 claims I've ever made with them ..... I tend to even wonder why it is offered if I can't legitimately request and get money back and end up eating costs of not only paying for the insurance but also refunding the buyer on the items lost. So I am not in the mindset of insuring a random box myself. I believe they will deliver it.... if it is going somewhere where there is rain consistently or currently snowing, I will bag the contents as that's the biggest issue I've seen over the years. Just leaving stuff out in the weather and the box gets soaked ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see some uncommon games regardless of genre; not expensive, just things you don't normally come across. I'm really looking forward to somma dat paper (manuals, ads, inserts, posters, etc...). I have some good GB/C games, along with some popular GB/C/A manuals, a Switch game, a couple CD soundtracks, and plenty of 1st/2nd party DS IB (minus the cases of course, so hopefully you have some donors) I'm planning on stuffing in there.

Since it's a small flat rate, it shouldn't be too hard to wrap stuff in a plastic shopping bag before sticking it in the box? With fall and winter weather coming I'd definitely recommend it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mae247 | 207 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Love the involvement this time round! Thank you guys for the suggestions thus far. We should be up and going in the coming weeks. Second week of November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVOSS | 1,757 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 So are we all in agreement that it should be inside some sort of waterproof bag for shipping??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
