ns.com is a sweet place.. but i propose we can make it even sweeter.

So heres the idea (that I have seen elsewhere):

I have a lot of stuff I don't need, but can't really sale (for more than $5). So I want to give it away (that includes shipping... it's completely free). The first people to pm claiming dibs on the items get them. Simple.

The stipulation is after claiming dibs on the item you either:
1. post a new item that you want to give away, or
2. give a $5 donation to NS

I think this could work if people want it to, so please don't post to whine about something or yell at someone else. If you aren't going to ship something, don't offer it. This could be sweet (or not). So, first come first serve and it's all free.


I've got 3 things up for grabs:

1. Sessions jacket... well used, but will still keep someone warm.

2. Blue Quiksilver knitted beanie.

3. Two D-shaped locking OP 'biners

in response to all that, noone has taken the M aspen bars shirt I had up earlier...


and I have a pair of neon yellow hard pack baskets for leki poles up for grabs (any of the newer poles with the larger screw on ferrule should work).

the rules definitely say that you can put dibs on an item, and then post another item, or donate within the same day.

PEOPLE PEOPLE PEOPLE, THIS ISN'T THAT COMPLICATED. PLESE READ THE RULES. i WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT THE PERSON WHO CALLS DIBS MUST, AND I MEAN MUST POST THE ITEM THEY ARE PUTTING UP IN THE SAME POST, OR ELSE IT'S WORTHLESS.

How about this. You can only offer stuff up if you have pics of the stuff. Now if someone whats to get stuff off this thread, that person has to put a pic up of the stuff they are gonna offer in return, or of the money they are gonna send to NS.

It shouldn't be this hard. People keep putting up rules and people keep saying yes/no.

1. Post your stuff, only if you have pics. You should be prepared to ship to the person regardless of where they live, so long as it is on the same land mass as you

2. If you call dibs on something, you have to have pics posted of something you're putting up for dibs in the same post (it can be re-pic-post if your things haven't been dibsed)

3. Only call dibs in this thread, no PMing, and no dib calling without pics for stuff ur putting up for grabs.

4. If somebody calls dibs (with legit pics) of something you want, don't post later saying you want dibs. it's a first come first serve basis, and if like 20 ppl have called dibs on the same thing, it gets confusing for people on the thread, and it also clogs the thread up with pointless posting.

If anybody else has any suggestions, I'm open

philip, can you please post some pictures of the north face jacket or at least the model so we know what we are dealing with here? Thanks, if you post pics I can then decide whether I want it and thus post another item up on here.
