This would be a cool idea if at the end they put the yoyos in a toy drive or something, then restarted the box, mailed it around again, etc.

Maybe if it doesn’t happen in July, it’ll happen during the holidays!

Zuk, started in the data center I worked in years ago. Came in one night, put all his servers on a cart, walked out, didn’t pay his balance. This was obviously many years ago.

I’m just going to come up with some rules for the exchange. And I think I might just keep it small (8-12 people) for this first one and see how it goes.  
I’ll do a little write up when I get back from my trip.

What should the value of the secret Santa gifts be? Retail $100 or something like that?

I don’t know how this will work out, but I think $100 is too high IMHO.

I’m so hoping this happens though! I’ve been having a ton of fun putting together the package if this things happens!

Seems like this would be too much of a hassle. Someone would have to keep track of everyone in the different tiers so that someone in lets say a $50 tier doesn’t get sent something from someone in the $15 tier.  
I think $50’ish would be a solid place. Or maybe a poll could be made with different price points and the community can decide what it should be set at.
