Ey Mike/Luds48.
I was hoping to catch folks before Christmas and all the bills rolling in after the holidays....... LOL.
If I am going to use ACONE's office space again, it has to be a Sunday. They have programs on Saturdays in am and in afternoons a lot of times. It took three of us about 2 hrs to set up (re-arrange the tables, stack up chairs and unpack things). I can't expect my two helpers to be available again from 9 - 5 on top of their own travel time. As you can see from the pictures I had a fair amount of things out at great prices. Guys who did come found some good stuff IMHO.
Starting next month the retail stores have sales and then the fishing shows start up shortly after that. I can't compete again them and I would be taking $ away from my favorite places.
Some one suggested I put things up on Ebay for top $, but that takes time and patience - who would want to go near a post office right now to ship something?! Not I ..... lol. I hate lines.
I could list things here on S-B, but can't do that during the day (can't afford to lose my day job & my performance review is coming up just before Christmas) and would only be able to respond in evenings. Meeting up with people can be time consuming and shipping is a nuisance. Notice I haven't sold anything in a while anywhere?! LOL. I refuse to use SOL any more (that is another story behind that).
I'm open to suggestions of how to get rid of my gear as fast as possible so ACONE can get the funds.
If any one wants to set up a time to come over in evening we can do that, but the problem there is my wife isn't crazy about "strangers" coming over in the dark and I need to keep the noise level down.....lol.
