I hope this isn't inappropriate but I am offering an older Bosch fixed
router, model 1617, without a base for anyone who is local and wants to pick
it up. If you want it shipped, shipping charges will apply.

The router works well, but only has one speed. Though, I plugged it into a
separate speed control switch and it worked great.

I have no idea how old the unit is. I bought a router table top from a
local seller and he gave me the router with it, but I already have two
routers. Therefore, if you're interested, it's yours.

I always use USPS since the majority of the time they are the cheapest. With
that in mind, Priority mail in a medium flat rate box = $10.95. Parcel post
= $10.34. All other options are higher.

If you have a carrier preference, let me know. You can check prices as well
using my zip of 48073.

Violates eBay's listing policy. They consider that to be evasion of
their final value fees.

Honestly, though, you'll probably be better off to list it on eBay:
buyers pay shipping costs anyway, and you may get ten or twenty bucks
for the router in addition.

Agreed!

I try to separate myself from the selfishness within this greedy society.
Whether in person or online with anonymity, my word is my oath. I made an

Good point and sounds valid for my little knowledge of law.

Canuck law differs from US somewhat in that respect. Province of Quebec law
is another matter again. They disregard our federal laws, completely, and
make their own . Loophole in our Constitution. Lawyers love it only being
qualified in small geographic areas.

Me thinks somebody is injecting a troll, here, but an interesting one. At

No, a trollink remard would be attempting to take disclosure of gas
prices as an offer to buy or sell.

No one answered my question (with regard to US Laws), so apparently we
don't have any lawyers here--or at least none willing to opine. I think
I learned in my business law class that the matter falls under the UCC
("Uniform Commercial Code"). Maybe a lawyer would take the case for a

Perhaps you should ask the 12 year old boy in Florida that was hit by
a bullet last night. If he ever gains consciousness.


http://www.tampabay.com/news/publics...unfire/1208726

No one knows where the bullet came from, but authorities believe it
was fired from miles away in a new year's celebration.

"Here we have a 12-year-old kid fighting for his life because he
happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time," said
Hillsborough County sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon.

Detectives spoke with Diego's family and neighbors Sunday morning and
determined that no one in the immediate vicinity of the home had been
firing a gun at the time, around 1 a.m. Sunday, according to
officials.

"The bullet was quite a large one," said family friend Dee Sims. "They
said it could have come from 2 or 3 miles away."

Happened a few years ago in Phoenix, AZ, killed a teenager named Shannon
(hit her in the head; she was outside, as I recall, talking on a cell
phone). AZ has since passed a law making shooting firearms into the air
a felony - law is named for the girl, and is known as Shannon's Law.

Hillsborough County sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon.

Detectives spoke with Diego's family and neighbors Sunday morning and
determined that no one in the immediate vicinity of the home had been
firing a gun at the time, around 1 a.m. Sunday, according to
officials.

"The bullet was quite a large one," said family friend Dee Sims. "They
said it could have come from 2 or 3 miles away."


I don't excuse that sort of thing. I don't condone firing up into the air
for this very reason. But - neither you, nor I, nor Larry know that the
shots he heard were being fired up in the air. Back in the day, we use to
fire off lots of rounds along with fireworks. Seemed fun back then, though
I don't find the same pleasure in it these days. We never fired up into the
air though. Firing off lots of rounds does not imply shooting up into the
air.

It's just too bad that a law has to be written to prevent something that is
just a stupid behavior. From the early days of gunpowder it has been known
that what goes up must come down.

Unfortunately, it does. Ever watch the news when they show the people
doing just that? In the middle east, it is quite common as a means of
celebration.

Goggle "shooting guns in the air" and you get 76 million hits, many
are arrests for doing such. It happens, very often.

Here comes another stupid US brainwashing right to bear arms argument!

Certainly establishes mental prowess early in the year.

Thanx Bill

I was looking for a story about a girl that recently got killed by a
muzzle-loading round that fell from the sky and hit her in the head,
but
I found this story instead:

Backpeddle faster!

Your inconsiderate attitude is showing badly, moron!
Maybe you learned something, today?
