If I were to get my hands on it......I'd run the piss out of it.......and I think Paccity would like that.....just a saw, but Stumpy's a little more than just a saw.....whatever does the most for him- Happy Holidays - Sam

I would never exclude someone with 196 posts.

Iif someone reads here but doesn't post, then they're not a participant in the forum. I want to see this saw go to the person that appreciates it the most, not necessarily just someone that can't normally afford one. Too often, that which is free, is not appreciated. The last thing I want is for this to become contentious.

I simply want to see the most money raised for Stumpy, and the saw go to an active AS member that would most appreciate it. Is there a way to combine the two? That's what we're trying to figure out here.

If they were to win, then it would be only fitting that they would get to look at the saw, rather than own it. Fair is Fair. :)
 
Didnt mean to stir the pot too bad. I do apologize. There is also the RR/EC Dolmar, and the charity being held in the Help Stumpy thread. Plenty of ways to get in and help out.


And really dont care to own many more saws. But would be nice if somebody would win the charity whatever, so I can at least say I ran a 090G :p

Again, I'm not talking about excluding someone with 150-200 posts. In thinking more like 50. We are a community here. This entire contribution is about this community helping one of it's own. To say that you're not interested in contributing unless it's sold or given away in the manner you think it should be, well, that goes against the very spirit of this thing. I'm stating some opinions here, but I'll support whatever we decide. I would ask that all of you do the same.

As long as it is fair and achieves the stated objectives. :)
 
well not that i carry much weight around here, but my sole porpose was to donate what i thought was the most valuable hunk of metal i had for the cause, like i said when i first threw this up here i don't care if it get's 5 or 5000 buck's . i really thank every one that has put there time and part's to make this happen. i really don't want a big @@@@@ match over how. it sould be over why. so sorry for the rant but look at the big picture on what this was for to beginwith. thank's . fraser.
 
Im just thinking outside the box on this one, lol ...its kinda traditional an old school but used to work :smile2: step 1. Stihl 090G charity auction tickets $20ea (or more) open to all. > 2. Wait until a reasonable Price reserve is met in a certain time frame > 3. Money goes to Stumpy! :clap: Draw the charity > 4. Winning ticket gets the saw ! 5. :givebeer: we all be happy campers

Besides, it's not my decision how this saw should be sold or raffled. That should ultimately be Pacity's. I will defer to what he wishes. After all, it is his saw.

sorry i'm a slow typer , i don't want to upset anyone here on how it sould be done. i would like to stay neutral on it . but maybe have a poll on what the members here would want? afterall it is all about the members for the member. fraser.

How come no one has quoted the sawed off guy, as to what his opinion is?

After all, he has a dog in the hunt. :)

Here is a question to Paccity: Would you consider buying it back in an auction?

This should shed some new light on the situation. For those of you that are capable of seeing the light. :)
 
my guess would be since this is an as community pulling together to help a member everyone being included was the intent from the beginning. or is there a club i dont know about and including everyone is how you maximize the return.

All right,
Your doing the work!

But I have many friends here who visit daily, but don't post!
Just like at the bar, the OL'man in the corner is the guy I drink with!
Not the loud mouth know it all, that talks just to be heard!

How about a 6 month member requirement?
But I really feel it should be open to any one!!!!

We all know how CAD is!
One saw leads to 4 saws by months end!

I hope some one that couldn't normally afford such a saw wins it!!
(but I will have my fingers crossed as well! I would and do want it!!!!)

I remember I came here looking for Husky 141 info,
Now I am donating a Stihl 090G rim sprocket!

One of the best posts I've read on Arboristsite. Thanks Matt :rock:


Damn Brad, quit thinking out loud for Pete's sake!!!!!!

I understand what you are saying but this is just a dang chainsaw. I have a good friend that says "It is what it is"..... well it is ain't it?????????

:msp_biggrin:

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!
 
Pacity, I fully understand you choosing to remain neutral. However, I will not make this decision on my own. I will confer with a couple gentlemen that I trust, and what they say will go. I'll report back at a later date.

Didn't sound like a rant to me. The generosity you've displayed is charactaristic of the timber industry as I know it, and why I'm very proud to be a part of it. We help those in need of help. You've made one hell of a fine gesture and there is no need to apologize for your kind heartedness. Thanks for being a positive rep for what we do. This'll all get squared away and Stumpy'll be back to building his hot-rods. If there is a way to donate directly to Stumpy, I'd like to hear about it. Merry x-mas - Sam
 
Charity auction it im in. Auction it and I may wind up with a second mortgage. I would love to own/run this saw. Do I need it? Well not really. Do I want it? Very much so. Can I afford it? Who can? I am sure alot of others here are in the same boat. I would appreciate owning it and using it so you may as well just ship it here. Me and my wife would be glad to drive down to stumpys and help out. I am a piss poor carpenter but my wife can cook well and I do have alot of venison.:msp_thumbsup:
