[Boatanchors] Stuff

[Jack Taylor]

Gee Ron, that offer sounded more than generous to me!
But seriously though, if you have much stuff to pack, it's a major
effort.  Specially if you have 'better things' to do with your time.

In my case it's an hours drive to and from the nearest transport point
and with gas being $3.00 a gallon, it takes serious motivation to bother.
I've looked into the new priority mail boxes and trust me, they are NOT
designed to take very much and still provide a reasonable degree of
protection.

Lately I've noticed an increasing trend for members to state:  "I'm
offering this treasure here first but if you cheap so and so's don't pay
my price, I'm going to put it up for auction!"  This of course is up to
the seller but once you have one or more transactions go bad, you
would have been better off asking a realistic price in the first place.
