The story: I saw these boards on eBay once, and also on Craigslist for the first time several months ago. The seller had them priced at $400, which was far too rich, and then there was the issue of shipping. I found them again when the price had dropped to $200, and at first dismissed them. I thought it wiser to focus on filling the set of boards that I already have. But, I kept returning to the classified ad, and decided to contact the seller on January 17. We exchanged a few e-mails, and I then waited for some pics, as the ones in the ad were terrible. A couple weeks went by, and I contacted her again. She had forgotten, but got me pics soon after. I decided I wanted the boards.
I posted two or three threads on here, over a span of two or more weeks, looking for a person in the area to help me pick them up and deal with the shipping. I finally found someone: UncleJoe.
I had booked a hotel room and was planning to make the drive, about 27 hours both ways, to get the boards myself. This would have cost me a lot of money in gas, lodging, and food, not to mention fatigue since I would have to do it in one weekend and be back to work on Monday. Joe saved my **** from all of this by assuring me he would take care of getting the boards for me.
Joe turned out to be a hero among men for me. Not only did he pick the boards up for me, he did so before I had even paid him, which was great since the deal was somewhat time sensitive (the seller wanted them gone but was holding them for me.)
Joe discovered that the clips holding on the hundreds and hundreds of pegs (might be a thousand total, I don't know) were essentially impossible to remove easily. He had to cut each clip away without damaging the board. He then carefully bagged and labeled all the pegs, one bag per board. He sent me a PM telling me the boards had been packaged by the local UPS store and were on their way, which was unexpected because I hadn't paid for shipping yet. I asked what the total was, and two days layer he got back to me to say it was his treat, for my work as a mod here. This about knocked me out of my chair. No one I tell this story to can believe that a stranger was that kind of generous to me. I am sure that the shipping and packing fee was pretty substantial. It's pretty amazing.
There are more details to the story, but the above are the most important. Sorry it's so long.

Amen Uncle joe. Your right Bull does alot for us here I'm glad he got some more boards.
I found a pic on the net I wanted to use with Daffy Duck saying "and you sir, can go **** yourself! but I figured there might be issues with using that one.
