And if someone thinks I am giving away the precious, well then some one has been handing out the Christmas hallucinogens :)
In the spirit of the season, she is MINE, MINE, MINE!!

There are a large number of A.S. members who share their knowledge, give their time, pass along parts, and directly donate money throughout the year. Some of this is posted. Some happens through back channels.

This thread, IMO, should be fun and lighthearted. No one is obligated to offer anything. No one has to give any item to the first person 'claiming' anything.

The only 'rules', IMO, should be that: this remain a giving thread, not an asking thread; and, anyone wanting more than shipping costs reimbursed should post those items in the Trading Post.

Philbert
 
I agree 100% with those sentiments, Philbert. However, there are those that easily forget about others. Those same kind of people are the ones snatching Black Friday deals from the hands of other people in a mad rush. I hate to see any kind of rules implemented in these threads too, but it may come to that. I don't want to see people not willing to participate because of a handful of selfish individuals.

If you have any ideas, please PM me. I do not want to see this thread turn into a debate about how to prevent this. Remember, any idea must be SIMPLE. No one wants to waste their time managing how much stuff others claim. However, I am interested in making this work.
 
The simple fix, is for everyone to show some self control... It's hard, but I decided at the beginning to claim only one gift. That way when something good pops up, I can tell myself that I already claimed my gift, and someone else should have the opportunity. I enjoy following along, and seeing what is gifted, but that's it for me.
 
I watch just to see what items are posted. I don't anything but have a few things i can give but choose not to participate. If i need something i buy it.
 
If someone is getting greedy and you don't want to address it personally via pm let a mod know and we will be happy to address it.

I haven't followed this closely enough to know who is taking more than their fair share. Perhaps they don't know what the expectations are or maybe they are being greedy. The worst thing to do is not address it.
 
I cannot agree with Philbert more, there are some truely generous people on here that have helped me out all throughout the year. @Jason Smoot in particular comes to mind. Back around April I was on the hunt for a piston and cylinder for a 262XP project. Jason had a PRISTINE early non deco MAHLE cylinder that he just sent me, wouldn't even let me pay for shipping. Others that have helped me out in one form or another include but are not limited to @Mastermind @c5rulz @spike60 @Duke Theiroff @Definitive Dave and I am sure that I am missing many others but cannot think right now. Everyone on here is awesome and I wish I could give all of you something for Christmas. Maybe next week things will slow down a little bit and I will have a chance to dig through the shop to find something to offer up.

Thanks everyone and Merry Christmas,
Joe
 
On that note, for the sake of newer members (or long term members like me who haven't participated before), what are the expectations of the thread? Give one, then take of similar value? Or something else? Is it ok to give and take multiple times?

I gave a parts saw and got free square filing for a couple chains. Heck of a deal IMO.
