  1. The ones being offered here are sapphire.
  2. I believe Luckyy is aware of what goes on in both places.
  3. The best part of this whole project was watching RWG members (with and without skills (read me)) come together to source a critical upgrade to most automatic PAM reps. All of the participants above are personally in for multiples. That should say it all:thumbsupsmileyanim:
  4. Start posting. Luckyy is a very reliable dealer with excellent pricing but you need creds to buy. MBW's are the only Rollies I own. Go vintage though.
  5. Now that is commitment.
  6. Drizznay- Happy Birthday to you. Good to see you here and that you're fabulous "everything a newbie needs to know to ..." links are here too. Mods- Where did the Happy Birthday smiley go?
  7. Archibald and Finepics- I read it and am happy to discuss. Tally ho.
  8. I find the betting pools more interesting than the tournament itself. I went to one of those schools where even the atheletes have to be literate (theoretically). I don't follow college basketball but responded to peer pressure and ponyed up the $25 per card this year for the first time in a few years. I have no idea who I picked but I am in second place after the first weekend. But my better story was during my first year at work out of college. Once again, knowing nothing about basketball I was pressured to buy a card. I think it was $50. A guy from the mailroom saw me staring at the bracket trying to figure out who the heck to pick. He wanted to play but didn't have the dough. So I put up the money and he made the picks. We came in second and split a grand. People at that form are still wondering how I won. Lastly, one of my friends is a trader at one of the big investment banks. This year's bracket cost a thousand and the winner picks up something like $50,000. I suspect the P&L for that trading floor is going to be way off this month. They are all trading their positions among themselves.
  9. Is Archibald or Sssurfer going to run a thread to gauge orders? And who is going to collect pre-payment if that is the route we are going?
  10. Finepics- I am happy to be fiscally helpful. Aren't we still waiting on the pricing and timing from Archibald's contact though? On the issue of 50 versus 100. At 50 pieces, I am happy to step up for a few more to take up the slack and then resell at cost. I know Ziggy, Finepics, RBJ and other modders will be bombarded with requests. I would simply sell them at my cost plus the extra shipping cost. At 100, someone should be making a modest profit as that is a capital outlay in the $1,500 - $2,000 range in excess of what we are signed up for. My math may be off though. By the way, I am not volunteering to do this. But whoever does should make enough money to buy a high end rep.
  11. No worries. The lavatory is complete. Good to see you here.
  12. I was wondering where you disappeared to. Join the fray.
  13. Aye! Seven times that is. Now what are we getting? - just kidding.
  14. TTk- I am assuing a tranny is a negative. What I want to know is whether that 6x8 comes complete with Sherpa. It looks huge. I am going to wander over to B&H (big U.S. supplier of photo and video equipment) in the next couple of days and see what they got. Finepics- Is that just a bellows or is there a camera back there? Josetann asks a good question. Every child loves nothing better than a poster of themselves or their friends in their room. I have been told by at least 1 friend who is a very experienced photographer that with the proper software the extra couple of megapixels are not necessary if you want to blow up a poster of 20x30 or so.
  15. Salient post. And the best part is that many listed above are already here. Hopefully the rest will follow.
  16. The only thing going on here is a brain fart. Reference Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
  17. It is growing on me. Looks good.
