Sell it on Armslist. People selling on Armslist think their **** is gold for some reason or another, and everything seems to be priced at damn near new retail. You could probably find a 15 year old rifle with a banged up stock, rusty, shot-out barrel, and stripped sight mount and the seller would still think it's worth 90% of retail value - "because gun". As long as you have a semi-reasonable assessment of fair market value of the stuff you're selling, it should be gone in a day; or a weekend, tops.

Craigslist is out, because even though I'm not listing the guns, it keeps getting flagged. Not worth the hassle.

I have several black powder rifles, and a whole box full of powder measures, bullets, patches, and assorted stuff. There's a couple of bullet molds, and even a lead melting pot.
Pawn shops won't make an offer. Local gun shop gave prices on the guns themselves that were insulting. I'm not looking to make a killing, but I'm not giving them away, either.
Yes, it's a used Knight. $25 is a little on the low side, considering the scope is worth that.

So, where do I sell it?
FYI, CL specifically bans reloading equipment. Armslist is a good bet, but there's so many scammy low-lifes you have to weed through before you find a legitimate buyer/seller who gives you a warm&fuzzy that he's actually gonna show up on time, have cash, and not pull some shady **** at the last moment. But I also see www.nygunforum.com and a couple other state-specific forums... all have classifieds.

Launch control indicates all systems go. Repeat, launch is a go. Liftoff @ 6:30AM tomorrow.


This is the big one. A foot+ of main stent, up to 8 smaller ones, lumbar drain, corotid arterial mainline. I should be home resting by the weekend.

Report back upon completion, sir.

I'm strangely reassured knowing Rish isn't doing the procedure.

[ramble thread showerthoughts]
If I sell the MSM...

On one end, I could settle ALL debts from past relationship with ex and start clean with the FRS daily.

On the other hand, I can bite the bullet and push forward on the MSM.... Injectors, fuel pump/filter, Megasquirt...
[/ramble thread showerthoughts]

Thoughts ?

I'm seriously at a fork in the road.

You have a Miata financed?

You're doing something wrong.

Get rid of absolute all debts, or stay on the payment grind ?



I really do love my MSM, and want to see where it takes me. Even though, it's not street legal by any means in it's current state. I would have to register it in a different county at this point somehow.

Does Texas have special plates? Oregon, I finally found, has this loophole where a "designated representative" from one of the officially-recognized-by-the-DMV car clubs can sign off on your car. I now have permanent Oregon plates and never have to visit DEQ again. No stickers for me. Does Texas have something similar?

Edit: another option I explored, but did not execute on, is South Dakota. You can apply for and obtain a license with no residence requirement, and you can apply for and obtain vehicle registrations with no residence requirement. So if the MSM is a toy car, not driven regularly to work, not driven to the elementary school to pick up your kids on a sunny day (noted because this exact sting recently happened here for WA residents with OR titled vehicles), that would work for the MSM.

Nothing of the sort as far as I know of. Unless you have an Exocet build and get a special registration that meets state requirements. Not sure on the rules. There is a guy here on the forums who had 3 apt garages at some point building his. Not sure where he is at now currently.

As far as I know atm, I'd have to register for a different county with sniffer test only... Possibly around BEGi area outside of San Antonio. Not too familiar with how that would work honestly. Still need to ask around and look into it.

Does anyone know how much the ovary of a blue whale weighs, on average? I'm having a hell of a time finding a spec for this online.

On average? Depends on the length of the whale and if pregnant or not.

Once we discover you're also searching for the average weight of a rhinoceros ********, we'll know you're not really a broadcast engineer, you're part of the gubmint initiative to create the creatures from Rampage for real in order to disprove evolution (or something).

Well, I am alive. Procedure went according to plan. But what they expected and what I expected were two different things.

I am on round the clock Tylenol, having given up the oxy already. Still feeling beaten up.
