Title: Ching Mini Skill Shots
Post by: Bruce Brakel on December 17, 2004, 08:53:30 AM
Innova is doing a Christmas special on Mini Skill Shots.  These were retailing for $50 at Worlds and they sold out at that price.  Not sure how many baskets they had, but they did have something like a gajillion players there.  Anyway, I have not checked on shipping costs but I think I could do a club special at $25 each.  I ws thinking about buying some for IOS 2005 and then they'll be something like $35.  These are mini baskets for throwing minis into and they are cloth folding "umbrellas" like a Skill Shot but mini sized.

If there is any interest let me know.

I have six requests so I'll get in an order as soon as they open Monday [they are closed right now; I checked] and have six of them shipped to Jon.  

Once you have one you're going to wish you had two because then your wife/kid/roommate/friend can be at one and you can be at the other and you can throw back and forth during the bowl games!  None of that annoying walking!

I won one of these in a raffle at the first Discontinuum Ice Bowl a couple of years ago. They're a lot of fun and well worth $25.

I'm having six of them sent to Brett and I'm authorizing him to sell them for $25 cash.  That's o.k. with you, Brett, isn't it?  This is pretty much a zero-profit deal once you add in shipping.  I'll have some for prizes for the IOSeries but they will be something like 40 or 45 Funny by then.  

I'm also getting a couple of the Innova Traveler targets.  These are those new, weird, four-legged, ultra-light targets with six chains and netting.  They set up like a cloth and fiberglass camp chair.  No assembly.  Just pop it up.  I'm thinking that these will slowly replace the Skill Shots we use for our temporary course, but if anyone wants one, they are about the same price as a Skill Shot.  When I get one I'll post a review.

I ordered 15.  They called today to tell me that they took more orders than they had stock.  I'm getting two sent to Brett and that is probably it.  The first two people who responded on the thread [myndcraft and airspuds] get priority.   I'd say if you pay Brett cash next time you see him, you are locked in.  If he gets the baskets and you aren't there at league, I'll let him decide whether to try to hunt you down or whether #3 or #4 gets the basket because you were not there.  

Maybe they'll give me a rain check.  I have to talk to Amanda.  In Michigan they would have to but Amanda is in South Carolina.
