NO! You are right and I'd have to go back and figure where he was anyway.
Oh, Tacoma. SO??? It's the condescending "take them or I'll dump them
anyway" attitude that gets me. IF he actually reads any of these groups than
he would at least PING Phil Nelson on the other side of the freeway who
could see them and decide if they were of interest or even worth
redistributing to others. It's this DAVE who is the troll. US postal parcel
is filthy cheap to send a CORRECTLY packed AA-5 for less than $25 TOTAL.

No.


WHY THE HELL NOT? This perplexes me. With all the packing services and
alternate shipping companies in the US of A this always amazes me.
ADVERTISE IT IN THE LOCAL PENNYSAYVER AND NOT A WORLDWIDE FORUM!

and no.

Dave said that he is moving. That's enough explanation. I can
imagine why an old radio collector is moving and not taking his
lower value radios with him, health, finances, there are other
possibilities.

When you move, you run out of time to organize, fix, give away, sell
stuff. He seems to be outa time.

You guys still have the mindset that "my time has no value". Get
past that. Your time has value, call it $40/hour. The several
hours that it costs Dave to package and arrange shipping, even using
mailing services, is hundreds of dollars of his time and time that
he doesn't have. He's moving, remember.

He's solved the focussed market problem that you allude to.
He's looking for a radio person within an hour's drive of his place.


Pennysaver gets him people within an hour but most have no interest
in old radios. Call it a one in a hundred thousand hit ratio.

This is a Worldwide forum but it is targeted to old radio people,
better than one in a hundred thousand hit ratio. The proof is in
the comment, "PING Phil Nelson on the other side of the freeway "

Dave spams a list and one of the complainers knows an old radio guy
just down the street? Maybe this "Phil Nelson" will pick up the
stuff and help Dave out.

If so, if Phil is listening, I'll take the SB-303 chassis. I
restore these things and can always use dead SB parts. Hit my page
at www.kiyoinc.com/heathstuff.html I'll cover the shipping and send
Phil five bucks for his time.
