Put me on the list for a giveaway, me giving that is.  I'd like to toss my hat in when I see the giveaways but, discover I have many of the things listed already.  No use being a hog, besides I'm trying to make the piles smaller.

Great concept.  Please add me to the list of givers.  If you'll let me know a date I will TRY and be responsible (plan and have reminders) :)
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Papaw on February 10, 2012, 04:36:05 PM

Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Papaw on February 26, 2012, 09:14:22 AM
Gibsontool and Johnk are swapping places.
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Batz on March 01, 2012, 08:04:25 PM
I won a giveaway ( Feb. 11th) and the member sent it down under for me, much appreciated johnsironsanctuary.
So in return put me down for a giveaway also, I'll send a couple of vintage wrenches made in Australia to the winner but I may have to ship them by surface mail due to the weight, so the winner could be waiting up to 3 months for then to arrive. I hope this is OK?

Batz
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Papaw on March 01, 2012, 08:48:35 PM

I changed the dates due to a delay on the current Giveaway.
Oilyrascal is now on April 14th, and Batz is on April 21st.
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Batz on April 01, 2012, 02:57:50 AM
Ready and waiting.

Post by: beckya on April 02, 2012, 08:28:31 AM
How can I throw anything away when people are always stealing my tools.  People never bring stuff back.
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Papaw on April 02, 2012, 08:50:14 AM
WE are not throwing anything away! Just redistributing old tools.
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: rusty on April 02, 2012, 04:45:57 PM
>People never bring stuff back.

That's why you hold up the tool, and say,
"See this tool? You need to go out and buy yourself one just like it."

;P
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Papaw on April 24, 2012, 09:23:21 PM
We need a volunteer for this week's Giveaway, or I can handle it.
We have gone through all the people that signed up in this thread.
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: Papaw on April 29, 2012, 07:47:18 PM
I am setting up a giveaway for May 5th.
Anyone else want to do one next?
Title: Re: Giveaways for 2012
Post by: OilyRascal on April 30, 2012, 05:17:31 PM
Please throw my name in again - not so much interested in "NEXT" simply because I'm traveling next week and I just came off a giveaway, but if it happens that way, it does and I will manage it.  I really think the concept is great and would not like to see it die off - which is where it seems to be headed if we don't get traction.

I'd like to challenge everybody that reads this message, and is able, to participate.  I'm not assuming everybody is able, but we have over 500 members.  All we need is 10% of the membership to signup and you'd only need to host it ONCE A YEAR.  Heck - 5% and we do it twice a year each.  I know we have at least 25 that are actively on the street picking up super bargains - I read about them here.  Come on folks - I know we can at least get 25 to join in.  We had 24 join one of the April giveaways.  All it needs to be is something as simple as a $1 item you picked up that is unknown - or like Papaw's screwdrivers where they need some love.
