Even though you generally shouldn't trust what you read on the internet (especially wiki sites), it's true what adamame said. The number 66 is actually considered good luck in some circles. Especially among badasses.
Fattrad, unfortunately $1,000 is not a valid bid. I can round it down to the acceptable bid of $666 or up to $6666. Whichever you prefer. Hell, for the higher one, I'll donate half to charity.

Mine came in today and they look like little works of art. Well done lads. S/N 002 and 040
As an aside, I requested 088, not the 040 I got (I'm not concerned and don't care- no worries) so if anyone is feeling like 040 should be theirs, I'm feeling no attachment to it so speak up..... as I plan on using it fairly soon so it won't be looking like this for long with any luck.
Oh yesss, myyy precioussss, I will soil her....

Hell, for $6666.66 I'll make you a custom #666!
Mighty: It left in the mail at 11am this morning. I am curious to see how long it takes to get to you. I am guessing 5 business days.
John Mac: Your hammer is sitting on my desk and is about to be packaged and shipped. Sorry for the confusion.
Billygoat: Unless I've got you pegged wrong, I met you while you were guiding a group at Courtright camped at Trapper. The next year was when Courtright was closed until July because of heavy snow. We camped at Wishon and climbed on Practice Rock. I was guiding a small group and you were guiding a larger group.
Simon's hammer was shipped on Monday with the bulk of the hammers. Numbers were assembled in a random order. Those who came to assemble took their hammers home. Poor Dingus was one of the last because of some number confusion.

Billy G,
So you're the first ebay offer? Oh man, and only half to a good cause if it were 6k+?
:(
I must be missing the irony here. I do have a buyer if you need to get rid of it for what you purchased it for other reasons than making a buck on it, or maybe the buyer I know might post up.

Munge,
I'm just playing around with the number game. I have no intention of selling my hammer for profit. I have some pretty big goals I'm fully intending to use it to accomplish. However, if someone really thinks it should be theirs, I'll certainly entertain an all 6's bid plus the hammer they received in trade for mine. Honestly, though, I'm pretty psyched on the auspiciousness of the number I got by shear chance.
T-Moses,
That might have been me, but I wasn't guiding. I would have just been hanging out with Yo! Basecamp. Andy and Lisa are friends, so I definitely spent some time climbing w/ the camp and at their fire. Also, it might have been Adamame you met (Adam Long in real life). For some reason, we're often confused or people think we're twins or brothers or something...

Eh, maybe I'll take it out and try some harder mixed :-)

I've been thinking the same. No hammer on the Nomics + pin = PITA.

John Mac and the Internationals are going to wait until tomorrow. I just got off the phone with USPS and their servers are having problems with an upgrade "quote unquote". They said it will be 24 hours tops.
