2021 POS Roundtable
2021 POS Roundtable
Copied with permission from jerryd6818 and modified for current dates and lame attempts at humor.
For anyone who has been sheltered throughout life, POS = Piece Of Fecal Matter. Not Parent Over Shoulder or Positivity Outstanding Service, Point of Sale, Pile of Small cats(poor edit here), Persistent Offensive Smell(though this fits) etc...
Sometime after the first of the new year we gather up choice selections from all the crap we've accumulated during the previous year and send it to some other lucky soul on the forum.
READ THIS!
Participation is totally voluntary. You have from now until the end of the day Friday April 2nd to sign up as a participant by posting your desire to be part of the grand exchange here in this thread.
YOU ALSO NEED TO SEND ME (Kolvir) A PRIVATE MESSAGE WITH YOUR NAME AND SHIPPING ADDRESS WHEN YOU SIGN UP. Please don't make me chase you down for your shipping information, as I probably wont! In that case instead of a POS you will be SOL.
No PM means no POS package.
If you are new to the forum and don't know how to send a private message (pm), ask.
After the sign up period ends I'll put all the participants names into a hat(actually I'm not much of a hat person, so it probably wont be an actual hat, maybe a box or a bowl or I'll get cute and attempt to write a program in a new computer language I'm attempting to learn, but I'll probably be to lazy to get it done in time and just use a box. So lets say a box to be safe.) and conduct a drawing to see who you will send a POS knife to. I will post the drawing results here on Saturday, April 3rd and will also send you a private message with the name and shipping information for the person you have drawn and are to send a POS knife (or knives) to. You will then have until Friday, April 9th to prepare and ship that POS knife (or knives) to the new owner. Ship as quickly unto others as you would have them ship unto you.
All participants are encouraged to post photos of and comments about their new "treasures" here on this thread.
Rules -- There are none. Old knives, new knives, good knives, bad knives. U.S. knives, foreign knives, all are welcome.
However there are some conventions. It is requested you don't send a pile of parts, whole knives only (tipped or used to death blades are okay). Also nothing that's so rusty you can't get the blades open. Those are not knives, they're just scrap metal.
As for the number of knives you send, it can be one to a brazillion. One knife is not frowned on but then neither is several knives. It's all about personal choice.
Here are some threads of past exchanges to give you an idea of how it works and what has been sent before, more threads are out there for those who search:

Neither I, the sender, or AAPKs are liable for any relationships destroyed with your mail delivery person, anyone else in your household, neighbors, homeowners associations, or communities and countries downwind of packages received. Fines levied by the EPA are your responsibility.
Reminder dates:
PM Sent to me by April 2nd
Address of receiver sent to you April 3rd
Packages sent by April 9th

Okay, I'll get things started. Stick my name in your drawing tool. PM as soon as I hit enter.

Re: 2021 POS Roundtable
My first POS roundtable....what a thrill. PM sent
Re: 2021 POS Roundtable
I don't remember when the first POS exchange was, but I was a participant. I think I have been in all of them with the possible exception of one since we started having them.
I wouldn't miss it, it's great fun. Besides you can always sneak one nice piece in the Pile 'o Stuff and really give the guy who receives it fits. He doesn't know whether it's a piece of junk you should throw away or if it's something you should be grateful for and keep to use. I just caused us a lot of consternation and I love it!
I am definitely in and PM inbound!

Dale, I believe the first one was in 2011 and it was run by Philco. ---► viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21299&p=176379&hilit=POS#p176379orvet wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 11:32 pm I don't remember when the first POS exchange was, but I was a participant.

Re: 2021 POS Roundtable
Why don't you just bring the package with you and ship it from wherever you are going? (I did that last year.)

Re: 2021 POS Roundtable
I try to put at least one decent knife in the package I send out. Kind of the leavening in the bread.

Re: 2021 POS Roundtable
Um, yeah....I guess I was thinking of crap not the 'S'. Now I need to change that attempting to be funny in a clever way instead of funny in the way it is now.
