I really don't like the idea of a beautiful leather bag folded/wadded up and shipped anyway...
I think it's best for someone to pick it up - if only for that reason.

BUFFALO BILL...WHERE ARE YOU....?????


OOH-OOH !!!

[the elephant]

I think that satin silver horn would look particularly spiffy in this all-black bag.

Just sayin'…

I am honestly looking for someone who can use and enjoy this, not someone who feels pressured into a sale. I would actually run from such a situation. I just like teasing Bill because he is Bill.

[Schlitzz]

Would you take $45 for the cat?

[the elephant]

The cat is priceless.

[bloke]

I have two cats in that color range…black gray white, and black gray tan. They are not related at all, different sexes, but are nearly the same age. They are very different from each other in some ways, but are both excellent young cats. One of them is the one that I talk about all the time - that has strongly bonded to me.
The other has bonded to Mrs. bloke, but is finding out that I am a really good cat person, so is also now finally chumming up to me.

OK… This is enough crap to bump this to the top again. Come on Bill…Pony up.

Without a doubt, this would be the absolute perfect match for the blokespecial 186. If I hadn't just sent a bunch of hard-earned greenbacks northeast of here , I'd be seriously talking about when to meet in Baton Rouge.

Joe, maybe you should call Christina and tell her this could be my birthday present (couple of weeks away). And get her to pay for it with her own money.

I prefer extra-cryptic.

A fine birthday present it would be!

Where is the case located? Looking to see if I am in within a few hours of ground zero.

[the elephant]

I am in the Jackson, Mississippi area, and am willing to travel to Baton Rouge, which is your best bet if in Southeast Texas.

There are some stops along that route, and maybe a diversion DTB, for boudin.

[Three Valves]

IMO a blasted silver tuba would look in there!!

Price reduced. I need money soon. This is a $1200 Cronkhite bag with fewer than five uses.

$750 CASH MONEY and WE MEET FACE-TO-FACE in one of the towns I listed above. I will not part with this nice bag for a cent less. I don't want to sell it, anyway. I certainly won't give it away. I will rescind this ad completely if I miss my deadline and the cash will no longer help my current situation.

If I sell it later it will be for about a grand.

If.

[Schlitzz]

OKAY!! I can do $45.27 for the cat. Wish I had a 186.

[the elephant]

[the elephant]

Bumpy-wumpy. Buy my bag, dangit!

[the elephant]

BUMP!

Swaddle your classic 186 in this essentially new bag for 40% off the price of a new one.
