Hi Guys,
FrenchyLED, A.K.A. Pascal, bought a modified X200 from me on good faith and I mailed it to him on good faith. I like this guy and he has been generous with his time and money here on CPF to the benefit of many of us. The modified X200 did not make it to him. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif He has accepted the loss as his responsibility and I agree that this is how it should be. This doesn't mean that I think he should suffer this loss on his own. At any rate, I have a half baked idea that I am going to follow through with on my own. Pascal strikes me as a connisour (sp) of the unique and it seems he is a "real" collector of illumination tools.
I am going to send Pascal a gift that is of unknown value, either as a tool or collectors item. It's a light that I made and have been keeping in unused condition as a personal example of my own feeble attempts at illumination tools.
If any of you feel inclined to contribute to this gift to Pascal, I will gladly /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif accept paypal donations. This is no substitute for the X200 that he didn't get but I think the gesture will at least bring some light and warmth to his loss. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif I would like to think that if I had chosen to auction this light, Pascal would have been one of those charactors adding fun to the event. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I'm taking this to the Post Office Today and there's no frigging way it will "accidentally" fall out of its packaging! It will go out via Global Express Mail (EMS).
Please understand that packages will be lost and in cases like this where it is individuals sending items back and forth, I think the receiver is the one to assume responsibility provided the package was sent via an agreed upon means.
In *this* particular case, I would like to see Pascal find some gain from his loss. If any of you feel like sending a couple bucks to me as a contribution to this gift, cool! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif thanks! If not, that's cool too and since this is a half baked idea, no worries! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
