On another forum I belong to they have a pass around game. A box is filled with stuff and sent to the next person. That person takes a few things he is interested in and then replaces them with items he thinks the next person would want. Has this been done here? Is there any interest in it?
*** EDIT ***
Here is a tracking link so everyone can see where the box is and where/when it's going next.

Rules for pass around game;
Items must be related to our hobby
Item may be an item you made with our hobby
No items may be edible, alive, or alive in the past
No illegal items
Replace the same number of items as you remove if room permits.
Consider the value of the items you remove and replace with comparable if possible. Just be reasonable.
No bad mouthing items if they are not up to your standards, be respectful of the previous senders
Pictures are welcomed and encouraged
If the box is in your presence it is your responsibility to contact the next member below you on the list for their address
It is desired that the box is mailed out no later than seven days of receiving it. Life happens, we know, but make an honest effort to follow this timeline.
If box needs replaced because of damage, please do so, the boxes are free.
I say list your main equipment (mini lathe, mini mill, full size lathe or mill etc.) next to your name on the spreadsheet and maybe the sender will have something related to your machines. There are no guarantees.
Remember the cost of shipping is for a medium flat rate box. $12.65 There are no guarantees that the items in the box will be something useful to you or even reach the value of the amount you pay to ship. I hope this is not the case but be part of this at your own risk.
Post 55 has the link to the spreadsheet
As of right now this is for the US only until there is an agreement on shipping
