No More Free Catalog

Post by Deleted User 287 »

I've been going through boxes and throwing stuff out.

I came across a 516 page Hein Gericke catalog from 1985/86 that needs to find a new home.
It is yours for the cost of postage. USA/Media Rate would be cheapest.

The text is in German. This thing weighs a lot. Even at media rates it will not be cheap (less than $10 I am sure).
Please be advised that I have someone coming over tomorrow to pickup a box+ of MOA magazines. As a local, he will have first refusal, unless I hear from someone in the next 12 hours.


He took it. He didn't know he took it. I just stuck it in with the 5 boxes of MOA magazines.
I'M FEELING FREE!!!

In the same box I found this neat dealer flyer (that I am keeping). Click to see larger or full size image:

I like how the text says:

"It stands only 36.6 inches high.
And weighs a scant 165lbs.
With a full tank of gas."

And in the specs it lists the dry weight at 165 lbs.
Is it because they create the text as separate sentences that the third has nothing to do with the second?
Clever marketers, eh?

You shouldn't breathe in helium when you type. Make you type like a chipmunk.
