$16.00 Champion Orc???

Where is this coming from?

one of the guys I play with told me that he paid 16 for an orc... Brian is his name..  a transplant to the Kenosha area from Cystal lake.  Your right I never played any of your events, but will next year.  If I'm wrong about what he told me..oh well.. there is a first for everything.

[mirth]

True, Diron. I was at Universal Studios in CA once when I was a kid & got to sit in Kitt and talk to it. Aww yea

Too bad you couldn't take him for a spiiiiin. What did he tell you Mirth?  

What about Kross, or Karr? His evil brother or something..?

Ahaha good stuff

Innova's current suggested retail price for Champion plastic is $15.99, according to Amanda at Innova East.  She says they did two price changes in 2004 and could not say when it was changed to 15.99 off the top of her head.  So it may be that a later order or Orcs was priced at 16 on the sticker.  If it was an earlier order, it was mismarked, because earlier the SRP was 14.99.  I try to keep my sticker prices set right at SRP on the Innova for reasons I won't go in to.

What a disc is worth is really a hard thing to say.  Last winter Luna, a vendor himself, was trading me random new Champion plastic straight up for Stratuses from a particular run and color that I happened to have, and I really don't want to say what I paid for those Stratuses, except that they were similar to free.  But this is what they were worth to Luna and he thought he was getting the better end of the bargain.  Maybe he had a hot market for them and was going to get 2 Champ discs each for them.  He is deep into the local disc arbitrage markets!

Once you get out of communist China, to borrow an expression from somewhere else, it's willing buyer - willing seller.  Anyone who reads this board knows I'm always willing to deal for cash.  You like my shoes?  How much you like my shoes?

All of which has so much to do with whether Jon will succeed in doing the two things required of a state coordinator, or whether this is just another small stepping stone in the Brakel Brother's Conspiracy to take over PDGA disc golf and run it into the ground by mandating whacky concept tournaments for the National Tour:

"The Discraft Random 3-Player Team Mulligan Handicapped Ratings Based Great Lakes Open!"

bruce - I believe Brian = Brian on page 2 of this thread.

[mirth]

Guys, enough already.

edit content:
99% of all the SHIT you have been throwing back and forth at each other the last few days have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the IL Coordinator election.

from this point on, I want this thread to remain on topic. Any off topic posts will be removed.

[Dan Michler]

I agree, which is why I have abstained from posting recently.  

[Dan Michler]

Jon, I have some bad news buddy.  I can't vote for you because I can't get a ballot.  They sent it to my old address and they won't send me another ballot for obvious reasons.  If anyone plans on not voting then send me your ballot and I'll vote for you     I hope you don't lose by 1    This ticks me off cuz I do think that this is going to be close.

I noticed that there was a Brian on here, and I hope he votes, but we had several Brians play different legs, and I hope they all vote, but I was not sure which one it was, so i thought maybe a $4 off coupon would buy all their votes!!!

Shawn is talking about me, thank you for the $4 off.

Well you can vote for Terry Miller, but I think he is running unopposed, if that is not too far off topice.  Remember, anyone who wants to vote but wants to spend that $Membership $Renewal $Fee on Christmas gifts, you can vote now and renew later.

Illinois is not the only state that has players that are concerned with appointing a player to the USDGC.

I saw that.  I went and posted on their club message board, responding to his statement that if the downstaters really want to go to USDGC then they can shut their yaps and drive to Rochester and Buffalo and beat the best players in the state for it.  It reminded me of Flip City-gate last summer when those nattering nabobs of ninnyhood from Ann Arbor went so far as to complain to Harold Duvall and he told me, "Whatever you're doing, if it is anything like what they are complaining about, I'm behind you 100%.  If they have to crawl on their bellies through broken glass, eat live bugs and kill rattlesnakes with their bare hands to get in to USDGC, those are the kinds of guys we want playing this tournament."

Or words to that effect.  Harold is colorful.  I don't remember axactly how he put it or if it was e-mail or when I was calling in to order discs.  Harold's point was that he thinks just qualifying for the tournament ought to be an accomplishment of some kind, but he likes to let the SCs use their creativity in deciding how and he finds the controversy to be quite entertaining.
