Bait Exchange Boxes

[wareagle24]

I remember when bait exchange boxes were popular on BBC. Does anybody ever do them anymore?

Not the same thing.

Here's how it worked. One person would fill a medium sized USPS Priority box with at least 100.00 of various fishing items. Then he would start a thread about an Exchange Box. He would take the first 10 names and get their email and shipping addresses. Then he would ship the box to the 1st person. When he received it he would post on the thread that he got it and was shipping it to the next person on the list. After it goes through all the names it goes back to the original one that started it. The only rule was that you put back equal or more value than what you took out.

I am sure you could start one if you wanted to run it.. deal with the people upset when it shows up to guys filled with BPS cranks when it had lucky crafts

Yeah, I remember one that got back to me with some of the most off the wall crap that I've ever seen.

I didn't know that. Never heard of the exchange boxes, then.

Someone should start one. The ones I saw you had to list what was in it, what you took, and what you added. That always seemed to keep it pretty honest and fair.
