DING!! DING!!! DING!!!

Ladies and gentilemen, we have a winner. Please be sure to throw your now useless (loser) stubs in the can by the door on your way out.

Jack, sadly I do not find you in my address book and I know that's just plain wrong. Ping me on the back channel.

Oh! Did you need to see a picture first?

UA100

Will do.

Nah, I'll probably enshrine it with plaque reading "Stanley block plane cutter - Previously owned by the infamous Keeter" and hang it next to the picture of Norm. ;-)

I think that tailstock's from an old South Bend. Maybe a Heavy 10, I'm not sure, I have a smaller one.

FWIW, the little cup on one side of the ram is to hold white lead paste to use as a dead center lube.

I resemble that 'cause you won't ship to us Kanuckistanis. How would you feel if LVT, or even worse, Ace Tool Repair did not ship to you USAians, eh?

I had thought maybe it could be that or an Atlas and didn't want to come off looking/sounding like a rube so I shot more/better pictures just in case so that the South Benders could at least make a fair determination themselves.

I didn't know that. Thanks John.

Ah yes but, that's the beauty of being a sole proprietor in this sort of thing. Take a look at some of the bidder(s). I typically make an exception for anyone bold enough to ask.

I believe that is the fifth sign of the apocalypse, right before, "a plague of black flies will descend upon ye and spend the entire summer in your face"?

UA100

Argh. I don't know if it is the same black fly, but I tried to make it a point of leaving Maine before the season started after my first experience with them. They leave what my wife calleds "whelps" the size of half dollars. That's a regionalism, by the way, not a lack of vocabulary. Sort of like "pixtures" in place of "pictures".

More seriously, though, when I search for stuff, I go to ebay.ca. The search gives me only items "available to Canada" so I don't waste my time looking at stuff that's presumably not available to me. Assuming that many other Canadians do the same thing, you're eliminating 10% of your potential market if you don't include Canada in your listing. Something like saying "I won't ship to California".

Snip

colloquialism? My evil wife has hidden the dictionary; i.e. she has not left it sitting next to the computer.

-Phil Crow

Hmm, I list things as "USA only" and so far I've gotten "questions for the seller" that were sent from ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, and ebay.fr. I know the search form has options for region but those really should only list things from people who are prepared to deal with international shipping. Today I got a question from someone whose email address ends in yahoo.es, whereverthehell that is.

Yahoo "espana" or "Spain".

Chuck Vance

Spain innit???
