No worries about being greedy! I have plenty of rock to go around. Tomorrow I have more goodies to box up in flat rates and bring to the board! - I know right off the top of my head I should be able to fill two flat rates with Carnelian from Oregon - and unless I decide to keep it for myself... I have maybe a medium flatrate of India Black Skin. I have had one special request for a Jasper box - and who knows what else I'll box! Also as soon as I finish it up, I have a great 2 wheel 6" Lortone expando drum unit to sell with the "true" expando drums. I have rocks running out my ears and have no room for my Thundereggs!

Not 100% sure just yet. I'm going through the whole machine making sure it's good and sound unit. As said it has 2 of the true expando drums 6" x 2-1/2" sized wheels... a few belts for it etc... I'd say somewhere in the $225 range I'd be happy with. Once I'm done with it, it'll be a like-new machine! Fresh paint, nice and clean and new bearings if needed.
The only thing it's missing in a motor to make it go vroom vroom! lol

See I told ya I give a great deal with my sales. My keyword was "I'll pack as much as I can get in the box LOL" and I do by golly! - Great to hear everyone's packages have been arriving... So sorry about the box blowout though Amber! - I give my people at the local Post Office heck all the time about the way they treat my rocks. They love it when I mail stuff.... It's a challenge to see if I can beat my old record! A couple years ago I had about 10 tons of obsidian given to me. I did the same deal and sold the heck out of the rock. I did the same thing where it's cheap enough for people on the east coast can get a great box of rock for dirt cheap!
I'd show up at my local P.O. with commonly 30+ Flat Rate boxes in one day loaded in my truck... They finally made me go around back to the load dock and bring them in by flat bed carts LOL.
Guess it worked out good - They finally hired me from time to time part time at the Post Office helping out with oddball jobs. So I pay them shipping charges and they pay me back LOL.
Enjoy the Rock Every1
Jason

Great deal! - Happy sorting rock..... One of these days I'll get a free chance and take some photo's of my back yard for every1. I have a guy coming Sunday to look at rock and maybe do some horse trading... He has been importing agatized Bamboo - Very cool specimens!
Oh Also I got the Expando drum unit all cleaned up today and ready for paint in the morning. Once the paint dries I'll get it put back together and ready for ya. Will send pictures first though!

Not a problem! - Glad to offer something folks can enjoy and at a great price. I appreciate all who've taken a box or two off my hands. It lightens the load I have to store in my back yard LOL.

Just to let folks know - I still have a good amount of obsidian left to part with! - Also I have alot of chips and broken flakes - If anyone is interested in these for tumbling let me know I can pack a box if strictly pieces.

Recieved my box today and it was packed to the place that the mailman asked if I wanted him to put it someplace so that I wouldn't have to carry it. Beautiful!
