Also my condolences @drlivingston ., if I could my father, also a combat veteran, a smoker and lived in Iron city south for several decades was eulogized by me with Invictus and seems appropriate now.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeoning of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.[1]

 

[Reosymes]

My condolences, doc.

No man is an island entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
own were; any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom
the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

 

[DanM]

Condolences, Doc.

I just wrapped up an insane month at work - 14-16 hour days, every day, no time for thrift thread. Turns out I missed the secret santa, too. Any chance I could still get in?

You're in luck! I also worked a crazy schedule, so I haven't drawn the names yet. The names will be drawn tomorrow! Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send you the PayPal info for the donation.

Doc, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.

 

[HansderHund]

As I mentioned above, I apologize for being a bit late this year to draw the names. I've been working crazy hours, so I didn't get the chance. I will, however, draw the names tomorrow (Sunday)! The following people are on my list. If your name is NOT on this list, please PM me. If your name is on here, all you need to do is wait for the PM with your SF member's name on it tomorrow!

Wanna see more pics. But for my own education, what should the used going rate be for this? Obviously retail is 10K+, but there are plenty of items in that range that only bring a few hundred dollars on the secondary market. If this shouldve brought more than 200, what did the seller do wrong?

This is the closest thing to it currently in the LP online store. $9200 retail.

I would assume that the seller just didn't know what Vicuña is? No idea.
There aren't a lot of completed listings and the couple that have completed had low feedback sellers with terrible photos and descriptions. Such as this one, listed as NWOT, but having repairs.

I am thinking with some patience, I should be able to be in the 1.5-2k range, but we'll see.

Also, this should be its own separate post, but condolences Doc. I wish you and your family all the best man.

Doc, my thoughts with you.

This week.

Was a slow-ish week but the womens game is super strong. Bunch of mixed places so I dont know my PPU but I would estimate $10-12.

I dont want to sell the RL tweed pillows but my wife is kind of insisting on it :/
Gucci gown is absolutely stunning and thats going in my windows next week for sure.

Anne & Valentin glasses sell like hotcakes.
Every pair I've had sold for 100 or more.
