This thread will hopefully be a semi-regular option for east side and west side members to exchange items.
My plan is meet at Preuss' in Lansing every few months.

Anyone that wants to send any items to the west side would be responsible for getting them to me in White Lake. Also, anyone interested in me picking up items to bring back to the east side would be responsible for getting  them from me in White Lake.
In return, everyone could chip in for gas. Limited to a max of 6-8 styros.

Obviously someone from the west side would have to be the "traveler" volunteer on that end.

For this first trip, I will be meeting Justin (GVsailor) on March 24th. Please see his thread if you are interested in anything.
Any west side members will have to contact Justin to make arrangements (if he is willing to do this) for sending items.

Additional info: Payments for items will be handled just like a group order. Items need to be prepaid to the seller, or the buyer needs to give me their cash before the trip. I cannot "front" anybody's purchases.
I'm sure the same applies for the west side's "traveler" (Justin in this instance).

I would be happy to pick up items from East siders, as well as deliver items for West Siders.  Just let me know.

LOL, sounds like a couple people need to set up the "Official North~South Trade Route".
Actually, I go up to Oscoda several times each year between end of April to October/November.
I am thinking about offering to bring items up and back if the need arises.

I assume you mean over to the west side? A friend of mine has a few different plecos he is thinking about getting rid of...I'll see if he's selling his L-191 and let you know.

Disregard this post Art, I just misinterpreted your post.  ::)

Tony, Art lives in G.R. and appears to be trying to get his L191 to the East Side.

I guess that makes better sense ;D thanks for clearing that up.

In that case Art, please make sure the person prepays you or meets up with me to bring the cash to you.
BTW jkeeler, I'm gonna send you a PM.... :-X

Is this your friendly way of volunteering to be that someone?  8)
Seriously though, this concept is pretty cool but where does it become prohibitive cost-wise due to gas prices?

based on need i usually would debate on going they tend to have more people that keep tropheus. i met a friend that would tell me all the time buy them all and then sell them to your members or for the auction. but you never know what people are looking at that particular auction.

Okay, so far I believe I am only picking up items. If I am forgetting someone that would like me to deliver to the west side, please contact me asap.

By the same token, I believe Justin (GVsailor) is only delivering items...nothing heading back with him?

I was hoping to see more posts of what folks had available  :'(

At least Oyers are coming this way for the GVAC auction on the 23rd and I was able to find a few goodies on their list.
