Wow, that’s sad, and a perfect example of why we plan, so those we leave behind don’t get ripped off. Makes you wonder how people like that live with themselves.

It's a very personal thing; I don't think anyone is telling anyone else what they should or shouldn't do with their stuff.

I went back to school after the meltdown of '08. There were all types there, and many of the other students were on various programs and state aid. I remember talking to one guy who was telling me...

Not to get political, but I have a suspicion that they really want to wait until after the election, but maybe I’m just cynical. I think there are many millions of people out there that are going to...

Incorrect. PayPal personal transfer (friends and family) is not subject to the new rules. This is spelled out very clearly.
Forum: Our Town
Correct in a sense. It's a personal transfer, basically like cash, with no legal strings, protections, or recourse. It's a free service and protection isn't free, that's why there's a fee for regular...

There's another side to this now, besides the fees. I've been helping an older friend get rid of some of his stuff, and I will take paypal for the convenience of the buyer if they want it, but I...

No reason at all. If you still enjoy your stuff and have no reason to part with it, I see no reason whatsoever to get rid of it.
I'm still relatively young (ish) compared to a lot of you all, but...
Forum: Our Town
There is that, too. Nothing wrong with wasting time doing something impractical if it’s something you enjoy, we do that sort of thing all the time with certain aspects of reloading and casting. My...

Something I’ve learned over the years is that often it’s really more about numbers than it is about money. Some people can’t stand to let go of anything for less than they “have into it”. For some...

I can see that you guys understand very well. :)
Isn’t that true! You know what they say: a friend is someone who will come bail you out of jail, but a true friend is in there with you.

Thanks guys. You're reinforcing my decision to decline. I've helped a lot of friends and acquaintances over the years; minor gunsmithing, reloading help, buying or selling a gun, etc.. Some people...

I already told him I don't have time for a gun show. There is an auction house in easy driving distance. I'll encourage him to check into that. The sad part is that he just found out that the cancer...

I know a lot of you all have gone through or at least considered this over the years: how to get rid of decades worth of accumulation? What a huge hassle!

Mine gave up too, a few years ago. I spent a couple dollars and replaced the bearings, and it ran like a new one. I don't use it anymore though, since I started wet tumbling.
Mine is an old Midway...

I've been encouraging my kids to make something of themselves, always learn and be looking for something better. I was stupid when I was young, waited for things to come to me instead of being smart...

One thing that's really been interesting to me in recent years has been really understanding the power of inflation.
We all think back to how much things cost or how much we earned back in the...

I work in an industrial plant where I'm the senior tech. I learned years back that annual raises (in my company at least) were nothing more than an attempt at keeping up with inflation, 2-3% at best,...
Forum: Our Town
I work for a large nation wide company with thousands of employees. Raises are always about the same every year, with very little variation for performance. It's called a "merit increase", but...

Now that I think about it, I had a slightly similar issue here a couple years ago. I bought a 1911 barrel off of Swappin and Sellin. I paid and he shipped the barrel promptly. When I pulled it out of...

Glad it worked out. If it were me though, and I made a mistake, I would do my best to make the buyer completely whole, and that includes covering shipping both ways. Integrity is worth more than a...

I wish I had land I could shoot on. I grew up on a farm with plenty of room. Now I'm raising my family in town. Around here, you either need family land, or have to be wealthy to afford room enough...

Do the top right clips hold 30-06/8mm Mauser size rims? I would have sworn they were Broomhandle Mauser clips, but if they're bigger than a 9mm/7.62x25 base, then they wouldn't be.

I hate cancer, hate it with a passion for very personal reasons. Cancer and the requisite treatment are devastating to the body.

Nothing strange about it, in my book. I'd have bought them too if they were cheap enough. That's why I go to gun shows - to look around and find oddball things to buy.
