Meh exChange? Is it time? Let’s do this!
5I have boat loads of crap I want to unload. Who’s up for a Meh exChange? I’ve participated in many and have sent great stuff and received crap. I’m a gluten for punishment.
Anyone want to get a Meh exChange going? I forget who managed it last time but I’d gladly be a participant only, or help manage it.
Anyone in???

I probably have a box to send of cra…I mean, stuff I could send, but I don’t want a box sent to me. I have too much stuff already I have to deal with.
I’m in
Nah
I was going to set this up as soon as the I.R.K’s had been mostly received. I had too much going on last fall to do so but now have more time I was the one who ran it the last couple of times).
@Kidsandliz Perfect, your efforts are much appreciated. Keep us all posted when it kicks off, count me in!
And no I’m not “Gluten” for punishment lol. Darn spell check swapped it on me and I didn’t realize it.
I’m down. After moving last year I have all kinds of great stuff that needs a new home.
Yes please!!
I’d love this!!! I’m in!!
@LemonTheCat Not if you get my box
The new postage rates take effect on January 27th. Beat the increase and just send me all your stuff now.
@ruouttaurmind Well so I’ll make sure people have who they are sending to prior to then. Thanks for the heads up.
@Kidsandliz I don’t know. I think it just might be easier for everyone involved to send their stuff to me. Think of all the work that saves you!
I would love to exchange my iPod dock and makeup brushes for someone else’s
@RdiPr Have you opened the makeup brush pack? Holy gasoline smell
I have a bunch of stuff to send. I don’t even want a box back. Maybe I should just donate this stuff…
@whiskeyish We do have some people who only want to send and not receive. Each time there are some people who get screwed.
Count me in! This will be my first meh-exchange. Am I a virgin now? I imagine there will be rules, expectations posted to keep me from coloring outside of the lines.
I’m in - when, where, how?
@YettaKahn I’ll post.
I’m surprised we haven’t started a long-running thread for just such a thing yet!
@PooltoyWolf They can get quite messy so it’s nicer when they are in stages. So people can get paired up, reveal, etc. Good times await
What’s the basic rules, never did this before. Can it be stuff outside of Meh?
@reg036 will post the rules when I make the new thread. Yes stuff can be whatever you want as long as it isn’t trash, broken junk, useless to everyone junk (like the 20+ year old piece of technology I was sent in one that was only usable if you had a computer from the late 80’s)… you can try stalking your person on meh (or elsewhere if you can figure out where) to see what they like or send random stuff. Most people stick to a medium sized priority mail box. I will get info out with enough time that people can mail their boxes prior to the postage going up on the 27th.
The “financial value” of the box, of course, will depend on many things, including the financial circumstances of the individual sending and people should still feel like they can participate even if they know that what they are putting in there isn’t high financial value. With one person I sent to they had mentioned they wished that meh would do meh branded ping pong balls. Well for 2 bucks and loose change I bought a box of six and made them “sharpie” meh branded ping pong balls. I threw in some stuff I had gotten in a fuko and a few other odds and ends I had from who knows where that still had a useful life left, were in good shape and someone may or may not have appreciated. So financially it cost me the ping pong balls, a sharpie and postage. I had the rest of the stuff already. Another time I bought, based on things the person had said on meh and I found them on linked in or facebook or something and saw what groups they belonged to, and bought a couple of things that cost more based on those interests but I was making more money at the time. One time someone found my youtube and gave me a t-shirt that was of one of the music groups that I had a number of songs saved. We hunt down and skunk those who send trash or don’t send at all.
I will get the form finished and up and running some time this weekend and start a new thread with it. Making a few changes on the form - for example asking if it is ok if your email address is given to the person sending to you. That way I don’t be caught in the middle unless the sender wants to remain secret until after the receiver gets the package.
That’d be fun. Unfortunately, I’m gluten free.
/giphy let no mistake go unpunished
