I would like to believe that no one would pay that, but human nature what it is...
Wonder if they'll get any bids?
Good units at the real price.

Hi BASE3462
Thanks for the bump.
Since you are such a wonderful person with a great vocabulary I will sell them to you are a good price. Or other gear that I have for sale. Just PM me. I can end that Ebay auction.
Everyone else has to bid or Buy Now. BASE bros get special attention.

Many Yates Big Dudes have sold on Ebay already, most for under $100.00 each.
Quality pieces of gear for sure, but this auction cost beggins for a sucker.
Only a Big Dude #5 or Big Dude #9 may fetch a high price since less than 10 were made of each.
Rock on! Marty

Hi Marty, what does the number 5 measure? I doubt only 10 were made - I think that I may have one.
Rock on!

Thanks for that Stephan, good looking cams as it it clearly shows the cam trigger evolution changing to anodised.

the shoe lace allows one to retrieve the unit from a deep set placement

Moof, on the off-width chance that someday my A-Smasher,
that was filled with tools for the Valley, ever gets released by the Pennsylvania State Police,
who took it off the back of a man who, on his one & only trip to the Ditch
pulled off a solo on-sight of the Shield, then, sadly fatally laid his Harley down ,
on a sunny summer day, on a straight away a mile from his home . . . .(RIP K Uhul)
So,
If that bashed up road rashed quarter pig ,
where the #6 & #7 sit with Tube chocks and 1st gen, (so not so good) Big Bro's,
On that off chance the cops may some day say come and get it
I am holding onto the #5 Dude,
.
since we're confessing to our sickness of wide-itis, I have the required, If old, big Green (#5) Camelot's and similar skinny lobed Blacks(#4). Of course in pairs.All the very small mainstream stuff.
As for the real big 'uns? I have none? When I was just recently handed
one of those VG #9's just the one.
I declined to even try the trigger action
for fear of instant love/need/want . . . . . sin- drool.
,
JBro, hope you tell Plaidman that Turnbuckle placements Should always be in pairs !. .,too, redundancy man

Big cams seem to maintain their mythical status. For quite some time there have been teasers of Cloud 9's, Pamalots, etc. So far Tom has been the only game in town for at least a decade. They are fine units for sure, but I'd still like to see some of these other ideas come to fruition. Lighter would be nice too.
Not that I need any more. Currently I have heap consisting of a couple old #5's, a #7 Tech Friend, a #6 Yates Big Dude, and a couple #9 VG's. But like a good gear whore, I would always buy some more if the chance came up...

Cloud nines (I have two sizes) and pamalots ( know where there is one within a few miles of where I sit....) are more real than Ned's moon boots!
But, for a nominal fee, I can take those VG Nines
(Liability, attractive hazard, after all....) off your hands...
