Haha, maybe so. I don't have a running total of stickers, but it's a lot. I am keeping them in a folder, but I need to make it a box.

Re: The SASE Experiment, winding down.
Well, it seems as if things are tapering off. Looks like some of the SASEs are lost or thrown away, hopefully my list and results will help others, I'm not done updating, just saying, things have gotten really slow. I had 2 envelopes in the mail yesterday, and they both had generally the same stickers in them, just a little different mix, so I'm guessing Sinz and Intense Tires are the same company... oh well, at least I got double stickers.
For the guys who won the contest, I'm putting your sticker packs together this week to mail out, no point in making you wait until those final companies check in... if they do.
Here's the Sinz/Intense... it was a lot of stickers per envelope:
If you go back to the first page, you can see the deadbeats. They could still send them out, but I'm losing hope, oh well, based on all the stickers I got and the amount in stamps, I couldn't have bought that many stickers for that price, and if I could have, it wouldn't have been as much fun, the mystery of opening the envelopes and all.

Re: The SASE Experiment, winding down.
The 80s were a better time for company freebies, now during recession time, not much can be had for free (or not as much). I mean, cereal boxes don't even have toys in them anymore!

Re: The SASE Experiment, winding down.
Glad you are following along, you've gotten pretty good results in a short amount of time. Most of mine did come quickly. I need to go back and count mine, but there are soooo many!

Re: The SASE Experiment, winding down.
Fox Racing sent my SASE back to me today in their envelope with a typed letter to me explaining that they get too many requests for stickers to give any away, so I again have an SASE to find another address for. Sad, but at least they didn't just throw away my SASE.

Re: The SASE Experiment, winding down.
The envelope that Fox returned to me empty (though I found a place on their site this week where you can fill out a form and they send you a poster and sticker) I sent out to Justin at Porkchop. I actually addressed, stamped, and stuffed the envelope in front of my whole church for my children's sermon. The lesson was about how God has blessings waiting for you, you just have to ask, kind of like these companies who are willing to send you free stickers... you just have to ask.
So I mailed it off on Monday (I believe) and got it back today, I think he knew about my project, so it seems he hooked me up. Thanks Justin.

The ones in red are the dead beats that didn't return anything.
Tonight at church a friend who works at the motorcycle shop brought me some nice decals:
Now that I have them all I have a couple things going:
1. Wind deflector for my car bike rack that I made will be completely covered.
2. I got a free dorm sized cube fridge, the door will be covered completely.
If you haven't got it yet... I really like stickers.

Re: The SASE Experiment UPDATE: 3/21/12
Yes, and my original list was only comprised of companies that already had a record of returning stickers in an SASE, so I didn't take much risk. They *all* could have returned stickers and the mail could have lost some. US Mail system has seen better days.

I just took Eastern Bikes off the dead beat list, I don't have my camera today, but they sent me back 7 stickers, all the same design, 5 black and 2 white... and it only took 7 months! haha :mrgreen:
With all the mail going back and forth, the US Postal Service should send you a thank you for using their services and maybe a discount on your next stamp purchase.

Looking back at what I originally paid for the stamps and my big box of decals, I got a good deal, but yeah, the people who use their services still should get a little more courtesy.
I haven't felt up to doing more of these in a while...hmm.
