[MBZ] Goodbye Polei?

I am getting down to the wire with depleting the hoard. About the only stuff left for me to deal with on my own are the two cars and some old Apple/Mac computer promotional items. I have been spamming the few brave folks who over the summer removed the Benz items, but nobody has spare cash at
