I bought this slide and a little one for $12 at a liquidation

This one does not want to sell and I do not want to keep it. I will
keep it on auction, but if anyone wants to pick up locally, I will
un-list it. Obviously if it gets bids, which I doubt, I would not
give it away.


My expectation is that no one here who is local, will want it, and no
one will buy it, so I will just give it to the Mexicans.


(Ig, winch that puppy up into the back of your truck and haul it to
your local metal recycler. You'll not only get some bucks for it, it
may be salvaged by someone there and get a new home instead of going
to a smelter.)

Hey, my old company! Ackshully, I bailed when SKF took over Palomar
Technology in Carlsbad, CA. I heard the corporate handwriting on the
wall and took the severance package to start my company. I just don't
_do_ Corporate America (or Sweden.)


It would cost $15 in gas to deliver this to the recycler and get $10.

Good point Ig.

How has the higher price of gas affected your scourging activity?

For me it has caused me to pick and choose more carefully where I roam
these days.


It did not affect me much, only very marginally. Even if gas was free,
truck wear and my time would make it not worthwhile to drive to the
scrap yard with this slide.
