Okay, here's the deal . . .
FIRST GROUND RULE: If anyone gripes or whines, they get booted from Tradgang. Okay. I don't have that authority . . . but this is purely for fun like any white elephant gift exchange.
GROUND RULE #2: The item you send has to have SOME value. It may be a perfectly good item you no longer have use for or it may be something that is broken but repairable . . . or maybe it is only good for a decoration. As with any white elephant exchange, some will end up with something special and others will end up with . . .
GROUND RULE #3: You can only put your address on the thread once. No PM traffic, only public viewing.
GROUND RULE #4: You will send the person after you whatever you choose. You can make it or buy it or pull it out of your stash . . . or all three. Please send it ASAP so we can keep the elephant flying around the globe. Please don't wait for your gift to arrive before you send yours.
GROUND RULE #5: You must tell at least one other tradganger about this.
You don't have to tell anyone what you are going to send, but to start the ball rolling, I'll tell you what I'm sending.
I have a baker's dozen 2117 GREEN gamegetter arrows. 9 have red/white feathers and 4 are shafts. Arrows are 28.5" and shafts are 28". They come in a travel tube and there will be a few other goodies tossed in.
I'll send the package to the first person who posts their address.
Somewhere down the road, I'll put my name on the list, but not for a while.
I presume some will be frugal and some will be generous . . . that's the way people are! That's also the fun of this pass along white elephant.
Soooooooooo . . . who wants some 2117?
REMEMBER: THE FUN OF WHAT FOLLOWS IS THAT PEOPLE WON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING, BUT IN A WHITE ELEPHANT, IT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE . . .
