RickR Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I'm considering joining this. I'm in Florida. It'd be the first time I participate in this. So the stuff to add into the box is all retro or just gaming related? If you have some time, take a look at some of the past junk box posts to get an idea of what people take out and what they put in. That's probably the easiest way to get a good impression. As nosweargamer said, it's pretty much gaming related, mostly retro. Pop culture items are good too. DVD's of 80's movies are good. PM me if you need more info.

RickR Posted August 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Sweet. I'm not sure, but I think 11 participants (12 if you include the host) is our biggest junk box yet! YOU GUYS ROCK!

RickR Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 THE JUNK BOX IS GOING OUT TODAY! Duct tape added for extra longevity! No burnishing though. I added a little wrinkle for myself -- I put something in the box specifically for the first recipient. Will my guess be right? It will be interesting to see if they take that specific item. In any case, the box should arrive Tues or Wed in Atlanta, THANKS! Ballblaɀer, nosweargamer and jmjustin6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 PS - I used this link to ship using Paypal. The cost was $17.05 https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now nosweargamer and Ballblaɀer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 RickR, I have a business trip from Sept 21-23. This just came up, sorry. No worries, we are an easy-going bunch. Let's see how the timing works through the next few people on the list. If we need to adjust the list, we'll move you down. I'm going to guess you'll be just fine right where you are.

jmjustin6 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 A handheld tetris game. Tetris being my favorite game ever i ahd to grab this and a 20 question game. You think of an object or a thing and it asks you 20 questions and tries to guess what you are thinking. I remember having one and it actually works really well. Also are you next in line ballblazer? correagonzalez and TrekMD 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Nice! I really dig the Transformer!
