Thanks Water, The truth is, I have yet to do any climbing in the Cascade Range. A few years ago, I was looking up some beta on a route, but never got to it. I've been lurking in and out, reading TR's, and route descriptions, but a while ago I started selling some gear on MP and thought why not list on several forums and cast a bigger net. I loved climbing the Elephants Perch last month. I thought I'd make a comment. Now I will (sincerely) extend the olive branch to Daemon. I honestly ain't out to scam you (or anyone). I am jumping to conclusions when I say this, but maybe Daemon was burned in the past by a bad deal. I was burned once when I sold some stuff on ebay. Maybe that is why he/she has been extremely skeptical and not cut me any slack. If so, no hard feelings. If I'm wrong, sorry. Sincerely, I was just trying to sell my stuff. I really don't have anything to hide. I lost the cable to connect my camera to my laptop. I can't move the pictures. I wish I could because people tend to pay more and buy more often if they can see the product. As you say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Now will you be honest? Was this really about the lack of pictures? Why did you never make an offer? Why did you look for the bad? I never said $21 shipping? Why couldn't you let it go when everyone else did? By the way YOU REALLY PISSED ME OFF. That is why I deleted everything on MP. Its not like me to loose my cool. I typed some harsh things, then felt regret, so I deleted my unkind words. (Sincerely, I never should have said them). I lowered my price out of anger because everyone was just slamming me with where they could get a better deal. "I'll show them!" I thought...stupid. In the time that has past since yesterday I was thinking I might get to that Cascade route after all, and I'll wish I'd a kept the pickets. I think I'd regret selling them for $15ea, when I paid $35ea back in 2005. So in that light, I will keep them. After all these years I thought they'd a kept their value. That's why I tried to sell them for $30 plus $7 to ship. Not a bad deal, $37 for pickets. Hey, I'm sorry. Now you can accept my apology and move on, or stay bent. Kevin (I'm good now.) Sleep well every one, see you in 6 years. Oh if anyone (not daemon) is interested, I've got a headlamp still on the free gear thread. Screemer and chalk are gone. http://www.mountainproject.com/v/the-free-gear-thread/107297195__9 Que Energizer Bunny

More info at the MP thread. Step 8 invent some lame excuse as to why you're not going to buy, and hope it saves you face.

Not in a thousand years would I want to deal with you. They are not for sale. Kevin

In less words, you misread the original. Yes this was discussed before. I was thinking $30ea and $7 to ship. "$37 for pickets ain't a bad deal" I ment "$37 for a picket". Anyway, the point is mute because they are dirt cheap now. I did manage to sell them to a drunk for $50. But well he was drunk. Kevin

Oh wait, Keep reading it gets better. As time went on I kept dropping the price. Be sure to add where you've seen these for cheaper. Don't buy them or anything, just talk me down then do nothing. That's why we are here, just surfing the internet instead of climbing. Kevin Just so we all are on the same page best offer is $3.50 is the top offer for barely used pickets. I will ship them to you for $50. That's $16 each.

SOLD

Ya got a point. I guess if you can't say something nice then.... I was on the perch the last day the shuttle was running this season. It was perfect. Didn't see anyone else the whole trip. Last weekend two friends went to do Stur Chimney. TR will follow. Well enough with all this jibber jabber. See you in 2018. LOL Kevin

As I've lived in Idaho all my life, and work 30 minutes North of the City of Rocks, I love to hear people say this about my state. The less people coming here the better. The same goes for the Wind's and Teton's. http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1211261
