Blue Carbon Fiber Grips For Sale
« on: May 18, 2010, 07:42:39 PM »
Its me, The capt. Got my aluminums now my blue carbonfibers  are up for sale. A few forum members expressed interest but after p.m.s havent heard back. Last look Black carbon fibers were up for sale at $330.00 plus shipping. anyone interested? let me know on this topic so everyone sees your offer an doesnt think im "shill bidding". Im not good with computers so I dont know how to post pics, but can email pics to an email from my camera phone. Grips are EXCELLENT, blue carbon fiber Rohrbaugh factory issue. No scratches, frays, or other flaws. The inside of the grips where attached to the frame do show signs of use, however this is purely cosmetic, and does not effect the use of them and is not visible from the outside obviously. I will also be enclosing a set of G-10 grips free as Ive no use for them. They are beatup, but may come in handy. If you dont want them, throw em out, donate em, etc. whatever you like. Ive had some bad expieriances with pay-pal so will only be able to take cashier checks or money orders as payment. If the Carbon Fibers for some reason do not fit, or work properly I will refund your money less shipping charges, but you can keep the G-10s for your trouble. Let the bids begin :)

ok, so far, ive been offered $300.00 with shipping included. THis was from two differant members, and both in p.m. format. again. PLEASE post on this topic so people know im not pulling a number outa my ___. Yankee 2500 has offered to post pics for me, so when I get home, ill be taking some and sending to him. THANK YOU YANKEE!  the two members who placed offers are well established, however in the event someone places an offer with just one post behind thier credit, I researve the right the withdraw his/her offer and go to the next highest forum member who has more than just a few posts behind thier name. This is to prevent someone from just joining the forum to buy the grips. in the event of a tie ( identical bid such as currently) the first bidder will be given prefrence. I have tried to be as fair about this as I can think to be, and didnt want to go the ebay route when the forum here has so many dedicated R-9 fans who have been so helpful to me. I will be retaining any and all p.m.s thus far and they are subject to being posted should someone call in to question who wins so again PLEASE POST OFFER HERE. I gotta be honest i wont be heartbroken if they dont sell, so if you want em, get em now before I change my mind! ;D Not sure how long ill keep this post up, a couple days should suffice for any and all interested to have seen an submit an offer. Thankyou again, to this great forum!

Although I do want these, and in your pm from a week an half ago you told me "you have first dibbs", I am NOT going to bid against my forum brothers on these and run the price up.  I don't belive in auctions here on the forum (edited to add: unless it's proceeds go to the upkeep of the forum or if somthing special / tragic has happened), it will only break up the unity of the members.  I'll keep looking.  
Corey

Ps. Thanks for the 12 min between the pm you sent me and the time you listed the grips.   I'm in the forum alot but I don't live here.

I have no horse in this race, and am just posting pics. As much as I would like to have a pair of the original Blue CFs, I will not bid for them on here.

Thanks, John, for posting the pictures.  Corey should have them, as he had first dibbs.

I agree in regards to Corey, and if it's an auction it should be held on Gun Broker or E-Bay.

I think it's a matter of who spoke and asked for them first, and Corey did that.  And yes, an auction belongs on an auction, agreed.

Thanks guys, if a price is set and its not crazy I would love to have these but if it is an auction style sell I'm out.  It's up to the capt now on what he wants to do.

I belong to a slew of forums and this is the first I've seen of an "auction" style sale.
Based on what I've read in this thread, the grips should go to Correey.
No question about it.

My 2 cents.............
