I hesitate to do this as I'm sure I'm violating some board protocol but I'm in somewhat of a desperate situation. I've got a screaming deal on some expansion chambers near Augusta, ME but the seller won't ship. He'll do pickup only. Please contact me off-board if you're willing to act as a go-between. I can offer some $ compensation for effort but not a ton. Thanks in advance!

Just went through a similar situation here. I didn't wanna ship an item so the guy made an offer: he shipped me the container, all packing material, cash for item and prepaid return shipping label. All I had to do was drop it in box, attach return shipping label and drop at local UPS shipper. EZ

It's worth a shot to ask him

I can't vouch for the Mainer in question, but we tend to be pretty trustworthy chaps.

That's a good idea, but I have no idea what size box these scumbums are going to need. Let's see what Taiden can come up with.

Y'know, having seen this situation come up, it sure would be nice if there was a search function on the Community listing to search members by location.

Just a thought.

Another thought for the Mods--Taiden gets a big Mensch of the Week award from me for trying to get this deal done. It fell apart through no fault of his, but he really was willing to go to the mat for a fellow (and completely unknown) GRM'er. We need some facility on the board for recognizing such fine, upstanding people.

I appreciate the kind words, Stroker. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Just a typical craigslist situation. I was hoping to get a chance to see some homebuilt expansion pipes in person!
