    I am actually trying to keep these off of craigslist if I can. I am almost to the point of putting them up there though. I won't have anyone but known Polkies with a good rep in my house though, I can tell you that :) Meeting in a brightly lit parking lot is the only way to go!

    I understand you trying to keep the trolls and lowballers from CL out of your house. A few months back I had a guy go psyco on me at my house over a turntable I was selling. Ever since that day, I make sure my 9mm is very, very close by.

    I mean, you guys know what I have based on my signature, and inviting a complete stranger in my house for him to take inventory? No thanks! :) I have worked hard for my stuff, a buddy of mine was robbed selling his gear. No thanks!

    I know I am impatient in selling my stuff because I really want to upgrade, but I would kinda like to see it all stay "in the family" :)

    would another date work better for anybody? The only date off the table for me is the 15th as my wife will be graduating from Purdue.

    With the exception of the 1st (which the wife thought was Mothers day not the 8th) I should be fine. I will mention to the wife that the 8th is Mothers Day not the 1st and see what happens.....

    Beyond that just about any Sunday works I believe.

    Saturdays work for me, but not my wife, and I think John works Sat if I remember correctly.

    So the 8th isnt good for me for the Mothers Day issue lol...

    So I can do any Sunday besides that one. So options are:

    4/21 - no issues
    5/1 - no issues
    5/8 - Mothers Day (no go with Dan and Jeff)
    5/15 - no go with John
    5/22 - no issues

    Feel free to quote and edit this if you are wanting to come, but some dates dont work for you....

    Had something come up on the May 22... So we are all getting more limited :)

    4/21 - Is this date wrong? A Thursday? Works for Don?, John Doesnt work for Dan
    5/1 - Works for Dan, John Doesnt work for Don
    5/8 - Mothers Day (no go with Dan and Jeff)
    5/15 - no go with John so the rest of us dont matter
    5/22 - Works for John, Doesnt for Dan and Don


    So.. assuming the 21st is incorrect, looks like the 8th is the only day that works for me...
