Trad Gang

Okay, here's the deal . . .
FIRST GROUND RULE: If anyone gripes or whines, they get booted from Tradgang. Okay. I don't have that authority . . . but this is purely for fun like any white elephant gift exchange.
GROUND RULE #2: The item you send has to have SOME value. It may be a perfectly good item you no longer have use for or it may be something that is broken but repairable . . . or maybe it is only good for a decoration. As with any white elephant exchange, some will end up with something special and others will end up with . . .
GROUND RULE #3: You can only put your address on the thread once. No PM traffic, only public viewing.
GROUND RULE #4: (Slightly different from last year) You will send the person after you whatever you choose. You can make it or buy it or pull it out of your stash . . . or all three. Please send it ASAP so we can keep the elephant flying around the globe.
GROUND RULE #5: You must tell at least one other tradganger about this.
You don't have to tell anyone what you are going to send, but to start the ball rolling, I'll tell you what I'm sending.
I have a BEN PEARSON RECURVE that is about 66"amo and about 25#@28. It has some dings . . . but the real problem with it is that it has twists in both limbs. It shoots and really performs pretty well, but it is twisted. It has the 'pinto' style riser and it says, "Automatic Lanes" on it.
Who knows what else I'll toss in with it, but . . .
I'll send this to the first person who posts their address.
Somewhere down the road, I'll put my name on the list, but not for a while.
I presume some will be frugal and some will be generous . . . that's the way people are! That's also the fun of this pass along white elephant.
Soooooooooo . . . who wants a twisted Pearson?
REMEMBER: THE FUN OF WHAT FOLLOWS IS THAT PEOPLE WON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING, BUT IN A WHITE ELEPHANT, IT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE . . .

Enjoy!
Daryl
-
I'm confused?, I know to send stuff to 702plmo, but who sends stuff to me?
-
Ian, 702plmo sends to you! You send to the person above you on the list, which is on the previous page. His name is Benoli (Albert Aleman) from California. 702plmo will send to the next person to post their address.
It makes it a little confusing when guys are posting the extra comments, so you just have to look up till you see the address above yours.
Thanks for participating!
Steve
-
Ian- Benoli will send to you acording to the rules. He is posted on the last page.
-
Smalson,
Steve, did you say what you meant to in your post just above? Looks like may you have 702plmo sending TWICE in the first paragraph.
"GROUND RULE #4: (Slightly different from last year) You will send the person after you whatever you choose. You can make it or buy it or pull it out of your stash . . . or all three. Please send it ASAP so we can keep the elephant flying around the globe"
I don't want to screw things up, but doesn't:
Albert sends to Ian
Ian sends to 702plmo
702 sends to the next person to sign in?
Please set us all straight.
Thanks,
Daryl
-
being as there is no "PMing" or outside contact allowed, should we have an additional thread where people can put when they mailed their package? I, for one, would like to know when I can start looking out for it - especially if their is a tracking number involved.
Just a thought - not trying to bestow my will on others.
Bill
-
MY BAD!!!!!!
I was mixed up for a moment . . . Not to self: Never send an email when you're in a hurry.
Thanks for straightening things out.
Daryl is right.
Sticks is right.
The rules are right.
Oooooooooooooooooops.

Steve
PS The elephant is tiring and will soon be finishing the circle . . . especially since tomorrow is my birthday! Get your buddies on board if they haven't joined yet. I keep waiting for Roy Hall to put his name on the list so I can jump on right after him . . . That way he can send me a nice mid 40's bow!!!!! lol
-
Timmay, you will need to send your package of goodies to the next person that joins up and post an address to ship to in his post. It's getting a bit confusing with all the other posting when they are shipping items to the next person.
As far as I can tell the person sending to you will be "702plmo" as he is the person that posted and address before you joined.
Hope that clears things up? If not call me later and I'll set you straight.
-
Ah I got it Greg ! You mean you don't want any of my junk ? .....er I mean "neat stuff" ?

Hawkeye, your package should go out tomarrow.
I'm not really sure what I should do about rule #5. Am I supposed to PM someone on here and tell them what I'm sending? Chad

-
Jason, it is whatever you choose to send! Some whale blubber . . . a set of moose antlers . . . an ULU . . . whatever. Some gifts sent are right on the mark, and some are probably set aside for next year's white elephant.
The elephant is within sight of 'home' now, so you're in time, but not by much. It will end when I post my address.

It looks like the ELEPHANT HAS FINISHED HER CIRCUIT for another year. I'm adding my address here so I get to receive something from tenbrook out in Santa Cruz . . . unless, of course, someone adds their name to the list while I'm typing this.
Vermonster is gonna close the thread after that, but if you haven't noticed, there is another thread started if you want to tell what you received . . .
