Christmas Pool

tattoosteve99 · **on:** November 15, 2011, 11:54:40 PM

This is a idea that I got while reading the Christmas want list thread. It's kinda like a giveaway but with a twist. Everyone puts a giveaway item, then around the first week of December I will use a random number generator and post who gets what sent to whom. Everyone who participates buy giving a tool, knife, etc, gets one back in return. Please post your tool with pic or description and let's keep it nice. No super expensive models or hard to find items unless you really want to, but no guarantees that you will get equally valued item in return. So let's get this going.

Edit: each person posting is responsible for shipping to the other party. Let's keep the US people together and overseas people together. Easier to ship that way. But it's not impossible to ship international. Need to spread the Christmas joy everywhere.

Alright let me look around and see if I have something to put into this.

I'll contribute a fresnel lens and a pair of sliver gripper tweezers.

[Edit: This'll count as one item; the fresnel lens works out to be about 26 cents.

]

[Edit 2: The fresnel lens is credit-card sized; the sliver grippers and fresnel lens are both new.

]

I'll add a NIB red rally with handmade lanyard. Pic will follow (except lanyard haven't made it yet) this counts as 1 item.

Edit: had to change rambler to rally. Forgot which one I had.

I have a new-in-the-package Vic Tinker with a sharpening rod included. I had bought two of them when I had to replace my original Tinker, which I gave to a friend to replace his Chinese POS. I only opened the one, and it's still with me. The Tinker is my absolute favorite SAK, no-frills but oh so useful. Now someone else will get a chance to play with one.

I'll do a paracord bracelet, lanyard, and a Vic classic.

Great idea! I'll buy a Fenix E01 in your choice of colour and have it shipped to anywhere in the UK.

I'll second that - Fenix E01 shipped anywhere in US from me. Yay Amazon prime!

This should be fun. Thanks for the idea!

Wow some great stuff and holiday joy here. Keep it up.

user24 · **Reply #17 on:** November 16, 2011, 01:51:12 PM

Fenix E01s are brilliant, everyone should have one!

badwolf · **Reply #18 on:** November 16, 2011, 09:50:19 PM

Ooh, this is good and since no one seems to want my Coleman Prolock

this will be a good way to get it out there, kinda blind trading, hey it might catch on

Great idea and good on all who take part

feel all Christmas'y now.

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #19 on:** November 16, 2011, 10:27:40 PM

Just to keep things fair I decided to let another member on the thread to choose my number since I started this. I see a lot of nice things and want to make sure everyone gets the same respect in return.

Beerplumber · **Reply #20 on:** November 17, 2011, 01:05:51 AM

Is December 25 going to be the deadline or earlier?

tattoosteve99 · **Reply #21 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:05:51 AM

The first week of December is the deadline. That should give people time enough to ship...hopefully.

theonew · **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2011, 02:23:36 AM

I'm in with a SwissCard

I'm not overseas / international; you are!!

I'll see what I can find to add

No issues shipping internationally

bladechick777 · **Reply #24 on:** November 17, 2011, 08:44:53 PM

I'm New, But I'd Love To Add.
So I Have:
A Small Off Name Brand Multi-tool "Journeys Edge Trademark".
Has:
Pliers
Knife
Bottle Opener - I Think It Can Be Doubled As A Can Opener But I'm Not Sure.
Phillips Head Screw Driver
Flat Head Screw Driver
Nail Cleaner/File
And A Little Flashlight That Needs Batteries.

It's In Great Condition, I Think I Maybe Used The Flashlight Twice Lol. No Scratches And Tools Are Unused Other Than The Flashlight.

Also Throwing In A Schrade Uncle Henry Stockman, Mother Of Pearl And Faux Turquoise With Filework. New Unused, No Box Though.

And I'm Also Going To Throw In A Nice Paracord Chris Reeve Style Lanyard.

rayraychil · **Reply #25 on:** November 17, 2011, 11:55:42 PM

I can put in a Hi Tec Brand Multi tool with pouch not in box but never used so mint condition and a couple of Charge/Wave Lanyard Clips with handmade lanyards attached in Leatherman colours and there not the ones I have listed these are 3rd generation ones I do for buddies/mates/friends etc so real nice items.
See pic of the Multi tool but the Lanyards will be the Christmas surprise part !
