Have you ever received or sent a random cap in the mail?
« on: Tue, 04 March 2014, 13:26:30 »
Like the title says, excluding Secret Santa, and other random giveaways, have any of you ever just gotten a random cap in the mail?

Edit:  Changed to include sending a random cap.

I see.  That was long before I started here.  That might have been about the time I started thinking about getting new caps for my Das.  Which was what led me here.

Perhaps you could have also asked, "Have you ever sent random caps to people in the mail?"

Not that I wasn't expecting.

And the ones I received but was expecting were not exactly random.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Alright guys I have updated the OP to include if you have ever sent a random cap to someone.  I actually just did the other day.  The recipient should be receiving it tomorrow.

I've sent a couple off to people. A guy on reddit wanted to know where I got my Jimmies cap from, I said I wasn't using it and just sent it to him in Poland. Nbd.

I've had ones in addition to stuff before as well, I got three nice doubleshots from margo with my custom WASD and a free triforce cap from Bluesy as well when I bought some gasmasks :)
