Lambone Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I've got some garbage in the backyard I'd sell for 180$ including shipping! How much of that 189$ is going back to the sherpas who humped them off the mountain for you?

slothrop Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Who would buy a souvenir from another person's 'expedition'? Nice shameless profiteering, Old Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fence_Sitter Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 $190 hmmm...that is either beer for a month, or some worthless piece of shit from the highest dump in the world...tought choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 I commend Old Man for bringing the O2 cylinders back instead of leaving them on the mountain. You'll prob find less cycnical customers on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll prob find less cycnical customers on eBay. hopefully they will be a lot more wealthy as well as i would think it difficult to sell a worthless item that can be purchased at many stores locally. but i do commend you on bringing that stuff back... did you ahve a good trip? summit?

Old_Man Posted November 18, 2002 Author Share Posted November 18, 2002 Gotta love those replies; thanks for the nudge to eBay, ChrisT. Yep, our Sherps were already well paid for carrying every bottle...up and down. Shipped the bottles back home afterwards at great expense, and they're just take'in up room here. Guess better to sell'em than to drop'em off at the dump--here. Like they say about "one man's garbage..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Larson Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 Yeah I would think E Bay would be a better bet than here. Somebody who doesn't climb would like them especially with the notes on them. Then again Cavey and Alpine K could probably fill them up and use them after they torch up to finish off the climb from muir ......has it been a year already ? Muir on Sat reunion soon? C'mon bring it on.I been workin' out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted November 18, 2002 Share Posted November 18, 2002 If you're going up to Muir remember to bring back any blue bags you use. I hear you can sell them and their contents to non-climbers on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Parker Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 We should fill a couple with pot smoke and bring them up to Muir this Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
