Gentlemen of the Forum,
As a keen and constant purchaser of Pendraken products (All hail the Dark Lord!) I have, over the period of years, acquired many yellow envelopes and many, many tiny plastic baggies. The enveloped go straight into the bin, because I can't seem to open them without getting covered in grey powder.
The wee plastic boggies though have accumulated. I started with a wee bag of bags, and then moved to a bigger wee bag of bags. Now I have more bags that will fit into the biggest wee bag.
What then, Gentlemen of the Forum, do we (the bruises on the Pendraken sculptor) do with our excess wee bags? Do they get binned? Do you use them as tiny landfill for wargames hills? Do you recycle them for the easy transport of slightly less than legal talcum like substances?
There must be a sensible way to dispose of these cheeky little fellows?
TESCO won't take them ... perhaps Techno will? - FSN
My other half takes all my small bags for beads and stores damp clay in the bigger ziplock bags as it stays damp in them overnight
You could just bundle them all up together and give them to a charity shop I am sure someone would buy them
Sell them to your local drug dealer,they need them...
Support local industry!

For FSN that would mean just selling them back to Pendraken
Board game components - if you don't need those baggies for power points, wooden sheep, influence tokens, cargo demand counters and the like you are not a real gamer, merely a dilettante ;D
I save all mine for when I sell figures online which I never do.

You HAVE got a spycam over here haven't you ?
Otherwise that's a somewhat creepy coincidence.
Will explain later. ;)
I dunno....Sunday, and I'm STILL pushing putty around ! X_X

I re-use the grip-seal and jiffy bags that stuff gets posted to me in, to stuff things in and post back out. Same with cardboard boxes and those funny foam things that are used for packaging.
I use them the same way Ithoriel does, we're a gaming family and they're excellent for Board Game components.
I just keep them in a little box, and whenever i have a spare part of something i put it in one and write where it came from.
Really helpfull with all those model kits around that can be assembled in 2 or 3 ways.
All good suggestions, but I still seem to have a surfeit.
Perhaps I will dump donate them to a charity shop.

Yes, indeed. I gave a big stack of mine to a mate who collects boardgames. Otherwise, they do what they set out doing - enclosing made-up units of whatever period I might get around to finishing at a later date; in other words, various elements of my lead mountain.
Don't send them to us, we've got enough of the things here! There must be some kind of 'life hack' that you can use them with. :-\

What is a life hack?

How to make your life easier in a vaguely humorous / meme kind of a way.

So I live my life on Facebook and the Pendraken forum?....I might already be doing the latter :-\
For example: On many cars now, the petrol gauge has an arrow pointing to which side of the car the petrol cap is.
(http://www.aa1car.com/library/fuel_gauge_analog.jpg)
Didn't know that.
I only found that out recently, too.
I had previously wondered what the triangle was by the fuel gauge.
Not always correct. My 2010 MiniCooper pointed to the opposite side for some reason.
If it does not have an arrow, its normally on the side the nozel is showing on the gauge.
.
Thing is, this is only useful about twice or on rental cars :-\
Maybe these are more useful for us beer and pretzel gamers :d

I found that out recently as well, I've been amazing people with my new found knowledge wherever possible...! :D

It's because you're driving on the wrong side as well... :P
(Although of course Mini's are built by BMW in Germany, who also drive on the wrong side of the road... :-\ )

Actually, they're still built in Oxford.

Aha, I hadn't realised that, so my point stands!
