Found this during my morning's browsing, and was immediately
interested in participating - thought some of you might be interested
as well:

It's a flat rate box (actually several are in circulation) filled with
electronics junk and a small booklet of names.

1. Open box
2. Remove parts you want (blog about it or take pictures)
3. Add interesting parts you want to give away (blog about it or take pictures)
4. Check off your name in the book
5. Find someone else in the book, contact them to make sure they want
it, will blog about it or post on flickr/elsewhere, and pass it on
accordingly
6. Send box (within 2 weeks of receiving it)

As it's a flat rate, the cost to ship it in the US is $9.80 (~12" x
3.25" x 13.5").  Might not be worth it, except as a tool to add more
variety to your junk store and a fun way to connect to others with a
similar interest.

So I've added my name to the list, and perhaps I'll see one, but I'm
also considering starting one (or more) as I have way too much
interesting stuff (I follow a policy of throwing away ~50% of it each
time I moved or re-organize my work area, and every time I bring
something new in I have to remove an equivalent amount of stuff by
volume and/or weight - so, what's left after a few moves and several
years is neat, but I just have no projects for it at the moment)
