its really a decent tripod. I had my D70 mounted on it with a 28-200 Tamron tank :lol

Its the PERFECT tripod for carrying around with you and such. not bad to carry at all. I'll take $40, sure. I just need it gone.

Sorry J, I was going to set this up for today until I spent all morning dealing with my fvcking car after it left me on the freeway on ramp this morning coming home from work. Now I need to put in another $150 alternator :fire

Honestly I'm not sure if I can afford it at all now. I'll let you know as soon as I can figure my $$$ situation :(

sorry, can't budge on the whacking price. You just can't find a better deal that this! Where else can you pay $5 and hit a guy with a tripod? For $8 I will let you bring your own item to whack with!

For $4.50 we'll let you stand right next to John..... :chair:

I would agree to that Keith. I have a sand wedge also that might be kinda fun to hit people with. $7.50 on the sand wedge to whack somebody? $7.50......

This is the funniest thing I've ever read on this board. Good thing I wasn't drinking anything at the time or it would've ended up all over my monitor, via my nostrils.

It should be known that John is my friend. Would I push him down the stairs given the opportunity?

YOUR DAM RIGHT I WOULD!

I can't lie. If I could sell John on Ebay for $20 I would.
JohnnyT
10-21-2005, 01:42 PM
I wouldn't fetch $20 on eBay and you know it!

Oh and as far as the throwing down the stairs thing, it goes both ways!
