Pay it Forward

[yankee2500]

Duane, How about a Pay It Forward sticky in the classified section. I have seen it on several forums and started one on the LCP forum in 08 and it's still running.

Here is the way it works.

This section is different from most threads in that the intent is to "Give Your Unwanted No Longer Being Used Items a New Home Were They Can Be Put To Use”  Once an item has been posted and someone claims the FREE item they in turn need to likewise post a FREE item as well.  The idea is to "turn your old treasures into someone else's new treasures?"    Here's the idea: I will put some of my "stuff" up for grabs that I don’t want or need anymore. If someone wants it, they simply ask for it. I will send my item to that person...ON MY DIME. The person who gets my item will, in turn, put something up for grabs on this thread for someone else to claim. It can be any kind of accessory...brass, dies, a holster, a scope, scope rings...whatever.
Here are the rules:

Continued on next post (this exceeds the 2000 character limit)

Continued from above)

(1)  Each item should be posted as a separate thread (NEW TOPIC) in order to reduce confusion.  Whenever an item is claimed, the thread originator will either delete the post or will contact a moderator requesting that the post be deleted.  As a courtesy, when you receive the item, please let the sender know.
 
(2)  If you take something...you must give something in return of equal or greater value.  Please do not take something unless you too will add something to replace what you received.
 
(3)  Members should NOT post their mailing addresses or other personal information in this room.  Instead communicate that information via private message (PM) or email. 

(4)  This is not a place to ASK for items you want that have not been put up by someone.  Any posts on this order will be DELETED.

(5)  The purpose of this section is to help our members help each other.  If you see anyone selling their free gifts on another site, PLEASE let one of the moderators know.

(6)  There will be no mention of for sale or for trade in this room -  directly, indirectly or any other way.  Violators will have their posts deleted - period.  We have a classified section and that's where those posts should land.   

Please identify what you are offering in your thread title.  For example:  "PIF: Meco Holster for R9"

Interesting idea.  I am not opposed.  What do others think?

[AmmoToad]

I like it...may be some interesting items show up.  I can think of a few things I have around here.  Things enthusiasts like us on this forum would be interested in.

One person of note initiated a pay forward kidney donation. This one seems minor in comparison and several members have already done it without a formal program. Why not?

I like it too!  Let's do it!   

[Richard S]

"Aye!"

    I'm in!       Gene

Agree

[Robar233]

 I think it is a great idea and worth trying. If people start complaining then it could be deleted. Give it a shot. I have some NOS I would post.

Yankee,

Why don't you go ahead and start the thread in the Classifieds section, with an explanation of how it works, and I will put a "sticky" on it and we will see how it goes.

Thanks for the idea.

[yankee2500]

I will need to post it in two parts because of the 2000 character limit per post are you able to consolidate them ?

[DDGator]

I changed the limit to 5000.  You should be good.
