Hello All!
i have become custodian of the reamers that dlane has graciously donated to the forum.

since we need to convert the reamers to cash for donation , i have considered 2 options:

1: ask for a donation of $2 per reamer + (shipping usps flat rate box) - the donations will be collected from all sales and be donated in lump sum to the forum

2: usps freight + the recipient donates to the forum of his own accord.

i'm trying to figure a way to disperse the reamers in an efficient and beneficial manner to both the forum as well as the end user.

i am open to discussion of other ideas in pertinence to their disbursement.

i would add that first responders from the previous thread that dlane has started, would get first priority.

it there are objections or suggestions, this is your chance to be heard.
thanks for reading
 
If the reamers are 13 oz. or under, use USPS first class.
2. Set a fair price for each reamer , $2, with the proceeds going to the forum.

Could you post a photo and description of the reamers?
Thanks
 
First option sounds easiest to me. How many do you have? Are you still working out what is there?
 
i have the piles loosely segregated into classes
there are numbered, decimal, lettered, fractional , there are a few fractionals with metric conversion diameters printed on them.
i'll take a couple photos and post after dinner.
 
Looking forward to the list. Cash to cover shipping plus (cash) donation to the forum on a er item basis maybe?
 
Mike, I would like to throw my name in the hat when you have decided what you want to do. I am in need of reamers.
Thanks
 
Option 1 sounds good to me, both are good suggestions so I am ok with either. I like the idea of donating to the site.

For disbursement, should we go with first post-first pick as many as they want, or perhaps limit the number so more members get a chance at receiving some reamers?

How many total reamers are there?

Thank you for taking on this task,
Glenn
 
There are about 100-110 reamers available
i think it best to limit the number to 5 reamers per donor + applicable freight,
so that potentially 20 members could benefit from dlane's generosity and the forum could see potential of a $200+ donation.
kinda sounds like a win win to me.

any objections, or thoughts?:anyone:
 
Kinda sucks to pay shipping & have a limit on how many will go in the box.
