Khoi, fair enough. Another gravy eater, or resident of a further flung country may be vying for these periodicals, so best to make the shipping costs clear. You've got a ways to go from $110 to $300 though, and 3 days to cover that ground.

I sold my collection #1 to #27 two years ago to help fund a climbing trip. Just bought them again (0 to 23) for $300. Who ever buys these is getting a bargain at this price!
Very cool of you to do this!

How cool is that of Mssr. Fosburg to bump the thread in which he is the highest bidder. Top form, i tell ya.
Lunchtime resurface to the top for this philanthropy project. I'll be working late today, so don't wait for me for happy hour; pour yourself one, and think about how sweet it would be to have a pile of new(ish) mags to see you through the rainy season. And a roof overhead for the Gordobots, even though they don't get any rain out there in the high lonesome. See you around 6 pst, so don't get sloppy without me.

Whoa, whole lot of wide nostalgia going on the front pages these days! Stay with me, one more day, pony up, and you're only a postal delivery away from tracing routes on Changabang or creating false memories about your time on the Matterhorn.
Let's call it a done deal at noon PST tomorrow.

Public service bump - the annoying offwidth fetishist thread-bumpers may climb wide cracks, but seem to have narrow interests.

Complain about Poli-Tard threads bumping climbing content off the front page all you want but the presence of 10+independent "WIDE" threads does the same thing. Dr F had it right to contain all the poli-rants in a single thread. Much cleaner that way.
Now back to a worthy cause, the Gordon Ranch repair.
Bid big, bid often.

Repetitively bumping 50 or more threads in which the word offwidth is found, for little if any resulting discussion, shows lack of perspective, when the result is that many legitimate climbing-related threads get drowned by the cacophony. Go ahead, carpet bomb the politard and religitard threads. But don't forget that there's more to climbing than offwidths, and try not to be rude.

I think this guy JMC (IF that's his real name) is showing remarkable generosity here. Think how many climbers have availed themselves of Todd Gordon's generosity over the decades and enjoyed climbing the butt-load of routes he's established.

Yeah, last day, last few hours even! Looks like Fosburg may take it all, take it away from you! Are you okay with that? you sure? How are your kids ever going to be literate if you don't keep the house stocked with good reading material. Squeeze another nugget out if you got it, show's over at noon.
Aloha,
John
