So yea, I had this idea today which was inspired mostly by Marshallh here:
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9679
You see, the day Marshall posted that I had a REALLY flaxty kind of day all around. I wont go into a bunch of detail, but the point is after having such a flaxe day, all day. Marshall's kindness raised my spirits a good deal and I figured what the Heck, why not try to do something kind for someone else as well. Then I thought, why not do it here? Right on ModRetro where it started.
Any of you that have seen the movie Pay it Forward will get the idea right away. Someone does something nice for someone else and asks for nothing in return EXCEPT that sometime in the future, you also in turn do something nice for someone else without asking for anything in return. I.E.: Paying it forward.
Now just so some things are clear. The size/cost of your good dead/what you have to offer does not have to be as grand as what Marshall did. Not everyone has a $200 super cool thingamajig to give away. You can offer up whatever you want, big or small. The point is, doing something you didn't HAVE to do to help someone else for no other reason than you wanted to do it. That being said, don't offer up garbage or crap that no one will want. Second thing is that IMO shipping charges should be paid by whoever wants your crap. This is the only exception to the rule and only if its a reasonable shipping cost for whats being offered (shipping out a NES to someone with a $100 shipping charge is obviously out). Also, you don't have to pay it forward straight away. This is not to say that you should wait 5 years to do it either, the effort should be made to do it within a reasonable time frame. But its fine to wait a bit until you have something that you think is worth offering up. Lastly, things being "payed forward" in this thread are first come, first served. Meaning whoever expresses interest first gets dibs on whatever is being offered.
So you ask how am I going to start this off? What do I have to offer? Well today I did some vacuum forming (which is when I had the idea) and I figured I'd offer up a preformed (unfinished) Fusion rev. 2 or 3 case to the first person to post here expressing interest in one.
So yea, fellow ModRetroites lets start the cycle and see how long we can keep it going!
P.S. If you break the cycle you will be cursed 1000 times for 1000 years by 1000 demons that will eat your children.
