Me too, but its harder to do. I have a 10 car garage full of "junk" that I think is "treasure". But it seems that my 'treasure" is always the next guys "junk". For instance, three antique fax machines from Western Union, the ones that transmit signatures using heat sensitive paper and an arc. I got them years ago to make a weather fax for my airplane hanger, but never did. The problem with money is that, as you say, disappears within weeks. Down a black hole called by various names such as dinner, wife's hair dresser, gasoline, etc. And another reason to hold "things" instead of dollars is that inflation makes dollars worth less with time and things worth more with time.

That's one (of many) of the great things about free trade and capitalism - if each party involved doesn't believe they are gaining, then no deal transpires. If each does, of course, it does. Nothing is forced. I've gotten a lot of hamfest fodder for free over the years, from various sources. I give some away (0% profit); sometimes I sell some of it for a small sum (which makes the % profit infinite!). In each case where I have charged the buyer was very happy with the outcome. 73, -Larry/NE1S __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.

When dealing with a small number of items, a high percentage profit is needed to make it worth the time. If they bought 10 and sold them for a $6 profit, thats only $60 for a lot of gathering and distributing. Now if we were talking 100 items and all could be sold in one afternoon at the Hamfest, that would be a different storymaybe But just 10 items which would probably take a couple of Hamfests to get rid of them all.

Yes Bernie I agree. And also true gifts that are unconditionally given to friends and strangers are those that need not be mentioned publicly, as if so, they are not gifts but hidden agendas by the giver. Yes, this is rather sad. But what goes around, comes around. I think though for some the old adage of "mine is bigger than yours" prevails as their primary life's mantra.

Re: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99
My favorite Fluke meter stays on my workbench for the boatanchor tasks but these bargain meters are fine for the garage/auto work, around the house, for emergencies where voltages over 300volts are rare. As said in other posts, there is a place in our tech environment for a $3 that we won't care if it gets knocked around or is not as precise as a $300 meter. But buy what you need - don't buy 10 or 20 of them just to save on the shipping. My junk box is full of excess goodies that I bought in bulk over the last 40 years to "save" money and never have and will probably never use.

Re: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99
For $3 it is a good move if you only need a basic meter. It is nice to have one in your car if you run into car problems. Your kids and grandkids can use them to check batteries for their gadgets. You are correct that you won't be doing an HV work in your boatanchors. The only downside that I see is the A23 battery will cost nearly what the meter cost when you have to replace it, but again this is a $3 meter and you can throw it away! Who cares if the leads are permanently attached, again $3 meter.

Re: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99
I was able to order 20 using that promo code. Often I find that promo codes are case specific although in this case it doesn't matter because I tried it both ways and it works. I like the idea of populating the house & cars with one as well as my kids needs. This will leave a few left for friends. Whenever someone gives me something it brightens my day. Once before I found unusual coffee mugs that had a cool logo that said Radio Coffee with a picture of a beaconing antenna tower. They were a hit and I was able to buy them at a couple of bucks each too. Thanks for the heads up on that meter.

Thanks for the tip, Steve. I just ordered 3 using the promo code - one for my emergency kit, one for the office, and one for the garage. Note that shipping is a little steep ($ 8.99) if you just order one.

I tried to go in and get some and could not get the discounted price I guess that they must have had a run on them from this group...I was going to buy a Dozen and sell them at a hamfetst for $6 ea...Still cheap...I did get in on the Heil AES deal for the Classic...Only thing is that was $100 ea...No dozen of those LOL Bob W1PE -Original Message- From: amradio-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:amradio-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Clarke, Tom AIR4.0P NATOPS Sent: Thursday, September 24, 2009 8:52 AM To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service Subject: Re: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99 I bought a handful of them and gave them to my kids for their toolkits.

Re: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99
I think you mean it as a resolution of .001 volts. Accuracy is indicated as ±(1.5% + 2digits), which is still pretty accurate. Although unlike larger DMM's I doubt it has internal adjustment to recalibrate, so stability of that accuracy is really undefined. For our ham work it's a good deal at the three dollar price though. 73 Don N9OO Pat Bunn wrote: > And since it's digital - its accurate to .001 volts. > > Probaly as good as my $350.00 Fluke > > > > - Original Message - > From: "ken" > To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" > > Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 4:47 PM > Subject: Re: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99 > > > >> did you mean $10.49 ? >> >> >> - Original Message ----- >> From: >> To: >> Cc: >> Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2009 4:32 PM >> Subject: [AMRadio] MCM Electronics digital multimeter for $2.99 >> >> >> >>> MCM Electronics has a cute digital multimeter for $2.99 >>> >>> http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/72-7940 >>> >>> >>> Steve WD8DAS >>> >>> sbjohns...@aol.com >>> http://www.wd8das.net/ >>> - >>> Radio is your best entertainment value. >>> - >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> __ >>> Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net >>> AMRadio mailing list >>> Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ >>> List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html >>> List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio >>> Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net >>> To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with >>> the word unsubscribe in the message body. >>> >>> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >>> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html >>> >> __ >> Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net >> AMRadio mailing list >> Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ >> List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html >> List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio >> Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net >> To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with >> the word unsubscribe in the message body. >> >> This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net >> Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html >> > > __ > Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net > AMRadio mailing list > Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ > List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html > List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio > Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net > To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with > the word unsubscribe in the message body. > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > > __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Post: AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to amradio-requ...@mailman.qth.net with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
