'random niceness' thread

Postby nokgod on Thu Nov 11, 2010 10:14 pm

Those words.....'random niceness', uttered by SirClive in my parcel thread, has sparked off another one of my mad ideas. :D

This thread pretty much runs itself now, but there are just a couple of 'guidelines' for anyone that doesn't know the etiquette :) :

1. If you take something from the thread, you must replace it with another item.
2. If you have a large item to place on here (eg a console) that is going to cost a fair bit to post, its perfectly reasonable to ask that some payment be required towards postage. As long as its made perfectly clear on your post....and the payment should be mutually agreed between sender and recipient. This should only really apply to stuff that isn't going to fit in an envelope.....i wouldn't want this thread to turn into ebay :wink:
3. All requests to take items have to be done via the thread and NOT via pm. This ensures transparency. Only personal and delivery details to be done via pm please.

I'll take them, I've got a big pile of stuff I was going to give away anyway. I'll post some pics up after I've taken the kids to school.

Just noticed JSW has them, no problem, I'll stick some gear up anyway.

Had a sh!t couple of weeks so could do with some Karma....

No pictures available but 2 x 2 Xbox spare games - All boxed but Brute force possibly does not have instructions.

Pack 1:
Call of Duty Finest Hour
Brute Force


Pack 2:
James Bond Nightfire
James Bond Everything or Nothing


No but best but I'm sure someone could use them. :?

Me too. I've got plenty of dupes that are just taking up shelf space... How would it be best done? One person offers and then no more offers until the last one is completed? Otherwise it could become quite anarchic :?

Sounds like a cool idea, probably best in a one by one fashion. I am sure I have plenty of things to put up.

to whoever gets the Game & Watch games: they are awesome!
I have the 3rd one pictured in the original post and I don't want to think about how many hours I've spent playing it. it's a collection of small basic arcade-style games that are all about getting new high-scores, and how do you not love that!?

yeah it could get a bit manic with loads of stuff on the go.....so we'll do it on a turn by turn basis.

so i'll post thes GB games out to JSW and it's now his turn to put something up for someone else.

The stage is yours JSW....... :wink:
