Title: Free stuff
Post by: gdanko on May 12, 2010, 05:28:55 PM
I will not ship it.. I will simply delete any emails with "if you change your mind". I will not change my mind. I have neither the time nor inclination to deal with shipping.

I am getting rid of the bulk of my stuff. It saddens me to do so but I simply cannot fill my garage with all of it.

Mega2 ST
TT030
520ST
1040ST
A3000T
2 x A3000
A3000T
A2000
A2500
2x A1000
2-3 x A500
1 x A600
A4000T
Vic 20
Plus/4
CDTV

Lots of cards and add-ons. You must take it all and you must be able to pick it up within a week or so. I am in San Diego. I MUST get it out of my garage.. I cannot keep it all. I will pick and choose a few items to keep but the rest is going.

I WILL NOT SHIP IT. I do not have the time to mess with it. First person who can come get it gets it.

Oh my freaking god...
 
I've got a friend in California... let me try to talk to him and see if he's able to pick it all up.
 
1st. in the queue here! :-)

Oh yes, no picking and choosing. The taker has to take it all. I need to get rid of a bunch of it and soon. You will need a large truck or van. Be aware this stuff is all in great condition. I may change my mind and keep a machine or two but overall most of it has got to go.

The community has been good to me and I want to give back and not be an eBay shark.

That's very admirable but you are only being good to the people local to you :P
Title: Re: Free stuff
Post by: KThunder on May 12, 2010, 07:12:12 PM
Look at how much stuff he has, when most people say they don't want the hassle of shipping its really a joke. A truckload of stuff is a totally different situation.

Unless there is a way to make it easy. I sent him an email he will probably delete, which is ok, I understand his situation.

but if we could send him self-addressed fully paid, packages that all he would have to do is fill, tape, and hand back to the fedex guy it could be pretty simple to get rid of all his stuff in only a couple days.

I wish someone on the east coast was doing this - what a deal for someone near by!  If I didn't have to work I'd be willing to road trip for all that stuff! LOL!

Not true. If you are in NY and want to fly here, rent a UHaul, pick it up and drive it home... feel free. :P

Give the guy a break, he's giving away a lot of stuff there. I wish I were able to collect it, but being on the wrong side of the Atlantic (never mind the continent) pretty much rules it out.

Interested. I can have someone pick it up tomorrow. Please send me your address and phone number to arrange pickup

There is someone ahead of you who I have dealt with previously. I know he is putting some of my gear to good use so he gets first shot.

If for some reason he cannot you're next in line.

OK, so.. it looks like you didn't read my posts. I'm already arranging pickup with him, I've already sent him a PM and I'm awaiting response.

I did read your posts, they said coordinating with a friend. And PM sent, no real confirmation though.
 
No hard feelings

How about letting someone else, who the has time, collect it all and then redistribute whatever they don't keep for themselves, charging only for the P&P of any items shipped?
Title: Re: Free stuff
Post by: gdanko on May 12, 2010, 11:39:15 PM
I am fine with that, as long as I don't have to mess with it.

As an avid viewer of LOST you will forgive me for not getting on a plane from the UK :)

Don't get me wrong, I've had some real jerks to deal with on ebay too in the past after lugging an A2000 to the post office for actual cost price!

Good idea, a bit of beer money for the effort is also acceptable :)

(even though being in the UK it pretty much counts me out anyway...who wouldn't want to keep an A1000 anyway lol a thing of beauty even if it doesn't power on)

I have family in San Diego that would be willing to pick this up. In the off chance I end up with this lot, I'd be willing to let people have what I don't want for free, so long as they pay for shipping.

I guess he decided to sell instead...

where is he selling all this?  I have seen nothing on the bay or on amibay...

Post by: save2600 on May 21, 2010, 03:47:08 PM
San Diego. I had a cousin waiting on standby all last weekend to do a rush pickup job - but never heard back from him. He did have someone else lined up to take it away so maybe they followed through. He did hint in his original post that he'd be keeping some of the pieces. The more valuable stuff I'd assume.

I gave away the majority of it to a guy I know and have dealt with in the past. I decided I would actually try to make some money on two of the higher ticket items. Is that so bad?
Title: Re: Free stuff

Not at all!  Just let us know what forum you're selling them on :lol:
