Talking CALGARY CHILDRENS HOSPITAL total $9707!!!

Same as last year, today starts the third part of the thread. The Charity event will begin in a while, this first part is just for fun.
This thread will run for ~six weeks, unless it fizzles.

THE RULES! READ BEFORE YOU PARTICIPATE!

-YOU MUST GIVE BEFORE YOU TAKE. If you say "I want 'x' and ''y" is my offering I will have your reply deleted, and you will not be able to continue in the thread.

-THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, NOTHING IS FOR SALE. Your gift is just that, a free gift for anyone that has given already. Do not treat it like an auction, you may and are encouraged to show the value of your item, but you can not say "I want .... For it".

-For every item you PIF you may take another's gift, but please keep the value of the item you TAKE roughly equal to the item you GIVE within reason. Ie, do not expect to get a riding lawnmower if you give a matchbox car.

-your items do not have to be claimed before you can take someone else's gift. Do not claim a higher number of gifts than you have given.

-After you have given your item(s) YOU are responsible for ensuring it gets to the person that claims it UNLESS you make it very obvious it has to be picked up. That said;

-PLEASE DO NOT LIST ITEMS AS 'PICK UP ONLY'. By doing this most of the time you are limiting your audience. The entire point of this thread is to have fun with Members across Canada, not across the back alley.

That said, if you have 'an item' that is difficult or maybe too expensive to ship, please make note of it in the thread and we will try alternate methods of delivery to minimize cost to the person generously giving the donation.

-when your item has been claimed, get it on the way to the person that claimed it. Do not wait for your item to get to you before you send your item out. If you feel cheated contact me, NOT THE MODERATORS, they are busy enough. There are always a few people that do not receive their gifts, let's not repeat that this year.

-if you see a PIF that you would like to claim, do so by hitting the quote button for that particular item, and say "I WOULD LIKE TO CLAIM THIS PLEASE". Do NOT claim by using pm, let's keep it in the open.


-try to put up a picture of your gift, if you need help posting pictures one of us can help.

-I will do the thread inventory, I can handle it, and it keeps confusion down.


HAVE FUN!
Please let people know in the other forums if they do not come into general, and let's make the fourth year as big a success as the last three!

GO!!!









IF YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A PIF THAT YOU CLAIMED LAST YEAR LET ME KNOW, THEY WILL BE ADDED TO THE BAN LIST.
-if you feel the need for negativity please keep it to yourself. This thread is for the enjoyment of the members, not whining and complaining. Pm me if you must.

I actually have 5 broad heads and I forgot that I have the practice head in my bow case. I am now up to 5 heads and 1 practice head. Note, the practice head has been shot.

I think I paid $45 for each package so I will value this at $70 I guess, assuming that's ok with Ken.

I'm posting some ammo but will split it up as a few small PIF's. Naturally having a PAL applies and being that its a PITA to ship its for local pick-up only, or meeting at a mutually convenient spot.

I have one full box of 20 plus one partial box of 16 rounds of Hornady .338 Win Mag 225 grain SP Heavy Magnum ammunition, same lot #. I'm valuing this PIF at $80:



One Box of Remington Express Power-Lokt .243 Winchester 80 grain PLHP ammunition. I'm valuing this PIF at $22:



Three boxes of Hornady .223 Rem 40 grain V-Max Moly ammunition. I'm valuing this PIF @ $55



One unused Butler Creek 25 round Hot Lips magazine for a Ruger 10/22. This one has plastic feed lips so I'm valuing it @ $20. I will ship this on my dime as its not dangerous goods like my other PIF's:

Okay I have 3 different scopes I will put up . One is a Spy hill 4x scope , Second is a weaver K4 and Third is a Weaver Marksman 4x. All three are serviceable scopes that were on 30 cal rifles and working fine. The Spy hill scope is missing the one adjustment dial cover. I put a value of $35 on each Weaver scope. and $20 on the Spy Hill.

Sitting here reflecting on the current state of the whole global warming thingy and I came to the conclusion that there may still be a few days in my future where some extra heat may be required . I would like to claim this heater if it is still on the block

One pair of tire chains. I've used them a few times to get me out of things I shouldn't have been in but no longer have the vehicle and don't expect to need these again.

I have 2 submissions for this thread.

First, a Wielder Bench Press, with a loadable bench press (with 60lbs of dumbbells). Perfect for someone starting some home workouts.


Second, a set of ram golf clubs. Pitching wedge to 4 iron, 3 hybrid, 3,5 wood and a driver. Just missing the putter… comes with a bag that is in good shape.



In Calgary, would prefer local pick-up as I'm a poor student and they're bigger awkward items to ship.
