Absolutely. Well guys that was the last thing I had listed.

I do have a couple dozen para-cord bracelets (I make them) if people are interested in those and are ok with a random color, let me know your wrist size and I'll send you one and maybe a keychain/ fob along with it.


This made me think, I have a small request to make, my wife and I collect cartridges (ammo), we have quite a collection of single rounds but are always looking for more. We collect any size/caliber cartridges from any era, any .22lr ammo with interesting head stamps and we also collect old remington klean-bore ammo boxes.

If anyone had a single round of something they no longer have a gun for, or a single round of something rare we'd absolutely love to add anything to our collection.

Old British Enfield .303 round from Pakistan Ordinance Factory (POF)? Got one left from my old Enfield, now gone *sniff*
 
I use the bike to get around, its my transportation. I was injured overseas while i was in the army and had some brain trauma that resulted in seizures, even though its been years since i seized up, im not allowed to drive a car, which makes sense for the safety of myself and others.. But now my bike is my transportation.. until the tire popped several days ago LMAO
 
Just to remind folks looking for a large SAK, I still have my Vic Hunter up for grabs, from my initial post. Everything else is gone, though (yes, even the sporks!).

Any interest in a road bike? Very very nice Italian made, I believe its a '71 or '72 Somec. Its a Columbus steel stainless fraim (before they switched to Al/Ti alloys) and is very low serial number (F42), its got all original/working hardware and undamaged wheels. Its a little small for you, ideal height for its size is 5' to 5'4", but its a very high end bike if you have a wife or other need, I mean you could ride it leisurely but you wouldn't really be able to tuck down on it much. We'd have to figure out how to get it there without costing an arm&leg but its about a $500-700 bike. Like I said Very high-end so its probabily be worth it for ya.

If anyone is interested, and is short enough it would fit, and really needs it let me know, shipping will probabily be expensive but if you really need it we can figure it out.

Wow! Somebody local had better jump on that. Or else I've got to find a cheap way to ship it. My wife could use this to ride the .99 miles to work when we move in a few weeks.

Thanks guys, The bike I have now has all steel tubing, which is very heavy, so while i really could use a lighter bike, a $500+ bike would be more than Id feel comfortable accepting, im very grateful for that super amazing offer though, id feel bad i couldnt return the favor in such magnitude.

Im not sure how someone one would go about shipping a bike LMAO, that might cost a bit!!!
 
*GONE* to NCCNC....

A big thanks to everyone who has been so generous with their offerings. This is an awesome thread and all the members here are top notch!

I have a brand new 8 piece set of Craftsman wrenches.
Well...I used the 1/4" wrench one time so...a pretty much brand new set. Lol. :D
I think I got them as a gift a year or so ago. I have plenty of wrenches so I'd like to see these go to someone who could use them. I won't send the box they came in because it won't fit in a small Priority box. I can't ship this weekend, but I'll get them out Monday and send tracking info.

Let's keep this awesome thread rolling! :D

I just checked on ShipBikes.com And It wouldn't "only" cost $75 to ship from Columbus to my podunk town in the middle of nowhere Southern Washington. I have no doubt that some one very short would love to have a $500 bike for $75.

I re checked, and if you buy the box from them it's $125.
 
A heads up for the night owls. I've still got a Woolrich Parka, a CRKT slide Sharp sharpening system, and a Cutco "fishermans solution" fillet knife up for grabs. PM or Email me, but I won't be able to ship until Monday.

Well, I'll tell you. I am a professional bicycle mechanic.
any bike not gotten from wallyworld or kmart will be at least 300 new. And that level of bikes are the only ones worth the trouble to ship and woth the upkeep.
I have a coworker that sells used bikes on the side and im pretty sure I can get a suitable bike from him in fairly short order for a well sung song. Plus working at a bike shop I can get the boxes for free with no problems.
Now, im not guaranteeing a bike to you, but if I can make it happen I will. After all, thats what this thread is all about right? Also I know it is not entirely within the guidelines but I might ask for a skosh of assistance with the shipping cost as I am pretty sure it will be right around the $75 area like Chris had mentioned (I use UPS).
the one problem is when you recieve the bike a mechanic has to put it back together and that will cost somewhere between $40 and $75 at a bike shop. I would tune it before boxing but the assembly needs to be done by a competent mechanic...

"a lot of ins and a lot of outs Maude" but if you're game.....
