[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I have to part with my AR to keep afloat

Posted: 1/19/2006 1:24:51 PM EDT

I may have to part with my Colt AR 15.. Car troubles and if I cannot get the funding, will have to sell either the AR or the Mac 90.. Each have a butt-load of mags and ammo..
I would post over in the for sale thingy but am not interested in shipping and stuff.. Rather sell to locals..
So putting this in here to see if there is any interest.....

<br>

It sucks to be in the red

Now, I really would like to keep the AR, so I have an offer of 2,490 rds. of the IMI Green Tip 62 gr. @ .2008 ea = $500

Put it on the EE and put Vegas face to face only.

NV guys can pull it up easy when they use the NV EE search inside the link at the top of the forum.

Are you in Vegas?

I'd be HIGHLY interested in your .223/5.56 if you're going to dump it.

I'm in Gardnerville (just South of Carson City), and I'd be willing to help you figure out the shipping (and I'd pay the shipping, of course!).

GryphonX, if you buy it and he still doesn't want to ship it I'll hold it for you. I'm expecting to still take my trip after the winter.

Or pay the shipping and I'll ship it.

Or since I'm going to be down at SHOT anyway next month, I could bring it back up with me. GryponX could hand me a money order or personal check and I could just hand it over to you then bring it back up with me.

Just a suggestion.

I'll have to spend tomorrow pulling out all the mags and ammo to see just what kind of pile I have and then will figgure out the price and take a pic or 2 of the entire deal... I don't have anything else in 223 so no sense in keeping the ammo or mags...
I am hoping for a cash deal... I don't have a bank to cash checks with (don't like to deal with them).. And no it ain't "hot"... Many on here have seen me out with it numerous times when we were shooting at Sloan...

Thanks for the offer WP, but if take MeanSteve up on his offer, I won't have to wait to Spring

Hey Steve - that would rock!

If this works out, I'd be happy to chip in some gas money for the Ayatolla Carolla

That's cool - more mags are never a bad thing

I've been squirreling away money in the hard-cash form, so cash is definitely do-able. Is a Money Order as good as cash to you? We don't have to do a check, but I always like more secure alternatives to floating cash around the countryside.

I would still have to use a bank to cash those..

Aha! Gotcha. In my experience, when people say "don't like to deal with banks," they're referring to having an account at a bank. But those same people don't mind getting a secure Money Order and then cashing it somewhere.

You really don't like to deal with banks, therefore, we will work out some other way to do business that doesn't involve a financial institution (other than my cold, hard cash, and your wallet

).

Please let me know when you've done inventory, and we can work something out.

Thanks again!

On the subject of using Meansteve as a go between, I'll vouch for his ability to perform the task. Everyone here knows how to find me and I know how to find Steve (you could just order pizza), so this scenario is probably more secure than allowing banks and postal employees to handle the goods and payments.
In fact, you could say Steve is a professional deliverer. I think he should change his name to something like that. "DeliveranceSteve" maybe. He could have a banjo theme song. It'd be cool!

I like the idea of the inherent musical accompaniment with "DeliveranceSteve," but how about something more catering to the commerical supply and his touted security (he would have iminent access to firearms, afterall - it would be like Wells Fargo, but he rides shotgun for himself)?

I like the moniker of "Ding-Dong Delivery".......
(all along I suspected our northern brethren's obsession with that substance(?) would come to this)

Kin I git a BOOOYAAAH!
It's even sing-songy. MeanSteve proudly presents Ding-Dong Delivery! Could even be used as a cover , pretending to be a Motown act.

Whoa Mike! That's quite the little hoard you've got going there.

Unfortunately, I couldn't dream of coming up with enough to do the package deal.

All I would be interested in is the ammo, and at that price, the most I could do now would be 500 rds of the IMI for $100.

I feel your pain, brother, but I just can't come up with the kind of money you're looking for.

Please let me know if you're willing to break up your stash into parcels I could afford.
