POS

[jerryd6818]

I'll start taking names Sunday. Would anyone be against having a three day window to get in? would make it a little quicker and easier if we get it going fast.. just a thought..

You volunteered to run the show. You get to do it however you want to.

[Stanwade]

Well if anybody thinks that is too short a window please let me know and I will extend it. I'll take suggestions from now until Sunday afternoon..

[Reverand]

I am good with it. Count me in!

Ryan,
If one week won't inconvenience you too badly I would suggest you give everybody a week after signing up to get together their POSs to send off, as some guys work out of town. some of us who are less organized may have to search for POS has to get the right POs to the right person.

You may even find that the added time is an advantage for you If you're as disorganized as something like that as I am.


Just a suggestion. Like Jerry said you're doing all the heavy lifting so it's up to you!

[Ripster]

Yes, we really do send junk knives to each other and some even slip a fairly nice one in with the crap. Read this entire thread and follow the links provided earlier in the thread to some of our previous POS Roundtables. They will tell you exactly what this is all about and how it goes. There's a wealth of information to be had if you take the time to read.

The link to the 2018 POS thread should give you a real good idea of how it goes. It even has pictures.

Think there is enough smell coming from the corner, over there...to ditch this stuff... I mean participate, this time.

Jerry explained it well. I'll just add something else. The knives should be in one piece*. It's bad enough getting a real piece of crap, but if it has a missing blade or is falling apart, that's an even worse kick in the teeth.

But if you look at the old threads, you can get an idea of the type of stuff people send...

*Edited to add, whoever gets me, I do also like parts knives, so anything American, Sheffield, or German can be sent (in one piece or not)

Jerrryd and Glenn, thanks guys will check out this info and then get involved ,sounds like fun and a good way to get the fellowship some of us need right now. So are we calling this the Covid 19 POS OR ? JP

If we call it that, the packages would have to self quarantine for 14 days. Come to think of it, they should probably do that anyway...

[orvet]

If we named it the Covid-19 POS Exchange we have the unique opportunity of possibly having the only good thing but comes out of this pandemic.

Oh, wait a minute, this is a POS exchange were talking about...



I lost my head for a moment.

[Ripster]

Hey Glenn,self Quarantine packages, if they gotta do that we may as well wait 14 days to open em.They may not smell too good by then from what I hear!!!.?. And Dale ,it would beOne of the good things to come ofCovid 19 if called that,,RIGHT ,U guys here wouldnt do anything that wasn’t for fun RIGHT ??????

It's pretty sad when the only positive thing you can think of that comes out of covid-19 is a POS Exchange.
