Hey Chix

[Thumper]

Ok Mr. Dinner, I picked up a garage unit for ya' this morning. I went to an estate sale today and as I was leaving, noticed a garage sale going on a few doors down, so I walked over there. There was an old woman in the garage selling stuff and she had this old APSCo (American Pencil Sharpener Co) unit there that I bought for 25-cents. As I was leaving, I noticed an old Boston sharpener on a shelf that was not part of the sale, and I asked about it. She said it was her husband's and she didn't know if he wanted to sell it or not. She said he probably would, but he ran to MacD's for a cup of coffee and should be returning shortly if I wanted to wait and ask him. I needed to get back home as Lynn and I have lunch plans, so I didn't stick around. I sharpened a pencil with it here in my office and it's in great shape.

If'n ya' wants it, send me your addy and I'll drop it in the mail to ya'.

OH CRAP!! Did I say I paid 25-CENTS??? I meant 25-DOLLARS! (Just kiddin', I'll send it as an Easter gift.) :D

Sure, just spin the dial around to the rectangular hole ... it's 2 positions past the square hole. ;)

[Chicken Dinner]

I'm in! Thanks. Give me an idea of your shipping costs and I'll send you something by PayPal. If you don't want it, you can put it in the GH account.

Sheesh, the reading comprehension around this joint! ;)

You should come out ok with just the shipping. This one sold 3 days ago.

I weighed this thing and at 1.2 lbs, I just missed being able to send it First Class and gonna have ta' go Priority Mail. I have a USPS account and get a discount, BUT ... I need your addy. to know the shipping charges. (Actually, I thought I had it here, but I guess I was mistaken)

I figured you eBay entrepreneurs flat rated everything and I'd give you my address through PayPal. Email on the way.

[Thumper]

Yeah, you have to work it to your advantage. Standard Priority Mail is based on weight and zip code. Once you hit a certain price, it will come out cheaper to ship Flat Rate ... that is IF the item will fit in a flat rate box. (different size boxes ship at different flat rates) Since you're on the east coast and this thing ships at the 1-2 lb. rate, it comes out cheaper to ship at the standard Priority Mail rate. (flat rate would run $5-$6 more)

Is that clear as mud? ;)

[Thumper]

Ha ha! I responded to your email, but it appears you're still on vacation. I got this response (it's after the 25th BTW) :D

I am out of the office on vacation through Friday, March 25th. I will be checking my voice and email periodically. However, my response times may be delayed. If this is an emergency, please contact me on my cell at XXX-XXX-XXXX and I will respond to your message as soon as I am able.

He must like you better than me CD, he normally charges me about 100 dollar finders fee on all the shit he sends me! ;)

[Thumper]

I'm an entrepreneur, remember? The invoice for my finder's fee will be mailed separately from the main billing office. They're closed for the Easter weekend right now. :D
