I took out the computers when I had the box. I tried to replace the batteries and couldn't even get them to turn on, so I tossed them.

Nice haul! I had some woven gloves tossed in as part of a deal with a bike, and I love them. Hadn’t used them before.

More crap, cheaper?
I'm sitting out the crapfest for a bit, but I wanted to alert y'all to a potential logistics improvement. I bought a half dozen bike stands which were shipped to me via Bikeflights (tipping the scales at just under 20 pounds). The seller only charged me $10 for shipping, so perhaps he ate some of the cost, but still... The box has nearly double the volume of a large flat rate Priority Mail box. Even if the cost is more, just think of all the extra useful crap which could be shipped around. For example, handlebars:

Wouldn't we need to go to Fedex? Is that as convenient as the post office?

Was just tossing it out there. I was frankly surprised that Eddie was able to ship that to me so cheaply. To adapt a Homer Simpson dream: "mmm... handlebars..." I will at least be considering it as an option for my own shipping needs for smaller-than-bike-frame-sized boxes.

You got that right. I had to take out a much better saddle to add it in there in the first place. 
I'm glad somebody finally pulled it. Hope you like that thing, @fleslider

Was just about to ask that too. Last I heard from Fleslider is when he sent me a PM for my address.

i was only interested because i like seeing the updates (hadn't seen the thread pop to the top of the page for a few days), and i like seeing the things people take out of it.
i know stuff comes up in real life (it did when the box was in my possession) where it can take a little time to ship, or something like this gets put on the short term back burner.
