Open requests on ARF currently for Sams folders, yet when you offer an original folder for postage only - you get the "nah, I'll pass." I still dunno what folks were expecting.

Same with sets - I gave away 5 sets, two consoles, an electrostatic set, and two portables to one guy - the only one that was willing to cross town and pick them up - every other collector wanted me to deliver a free console. Um, not happening. So sad that when I come across NOS parts I no longer need I no longer think "someone might want that" - I just toss them.

I'm completely willing to pay postage (and have in the past). I'm missing about a bankers box worth of sets between 600 and 1900 (what happens when one gets their collection from a parts distributor...some sets had 4 copies some had 0, and everything in-between). If you want I can send you the list.
