2022 POS Exchange

Post by Kolvir »

Copied from last year's post which was copied from previous year's post which was copied...

For anyone who has been sheltered throughout life, POS = Piece Of Fecal Matter. Not Parent Over Shoulder or Positivity Outstanding Service, Point of Sale, 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 March 4th to sign up as a participant by posting your desire to be part of the grand exchange here in this thread. I'm allowing more time this year for the sign up due to a few that just missed it last year, though I'll probably regret it.

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 too lazy to get it done in time and just use a box. So assume a box to be safe, though last year I did a lot in a spreadsheet.) and conduct a drawing to see to whom(I wonder if I'm using this right? Can never decide if it should be who or whom, but whom sounds more classy, and this thread needs all the class it can get) you will send a POS knife. I will post the drawing results here on Saturday, March 5th 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, March 11th 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 March 4th
Address of receiver sent to you March 5th

Wow, it's POS Roundtable time already? Seems like my eyes have just barely stopped watering from the lingering odor of the POS pile I got in the last exchange. ::teary_eyes::

And since Willy Camero didn't run the Secret Santa knife exchange last Xmas, I guess I'll have to add the knife I was saving for that to the POS exchange instead. (Hopefully the recipient will be able to tell the difference ::undecided:: )

PM Sent. ::nod::

I was figuring it was that time of year again.

Last year, I went on such a knife buying bender early on, that the pile of POS knives left over from big cheap lots I bought to get one or two decent ones ended up bigger than the manure pile out behind the barn.
