Re: It's In The Mail
Royal, that's a fat and sassy old gal. She looks stout and ready to get some work done. Good choice.
Edit: I don't know if it was the seller or the USPS that was constipated but that Mini-Trapper finally moved. It has been sitting in limbo for the past 5 days and this morning the Dulcolax finally kicked in. Delayed gratification is not my bag of beans. This kind of thing annoys me no end. If there are no more hitches in the git-along it should be here by Monday.

Re: It's In The Mail
They lost your package in the facility for a couple days. I see this happen a LOT in the Miami-area processing facility here. Packages show up here and then just..."vanish".jerryd6818 wrote:Edit: I don't know if it was the seller or the USPS that was constipated but that Mini-Trapper finally moved.

If that long-line from the other week represented dipping my toe into the deep end of the #72 pool, I think this one probably comprises a full-on cannonball.
I probably overpaid for it but not by so much that it causes me any grief, and it's a real beauty. Still paid less than the seller was initially asking.

Re: It's In The Mail
Tony I got him down to $115 on that one, did you do any better? Give us a full report on that front handle when you get it.

Couldn't let you fellas snap up all the 1st-gens before I had a chance to grab one.
$100 shipped, and I had the same thought. Claims it's bone and I'll know it when I get hands on it. I've seen "gappy" bone knives before so I didn't make the assumption that it was shrinky-dink or dried-out composition instead, but I did take extra care to confirm it, and it should be immediately obvious when it arrives.gsmith7158 wrote:Tony I got him down to $115 on that one, did you do any better?

Re: It's In The Mail
I posted this one before as my second entry into my Red Etch Set and it arrived poorly packaged and apparently the postal worker who stepped on it tipped the scales at about 380.The seller graciously accepted my request for a refund so I sent it back and went hunting again. I found this one and she's on the way.
