machinemud · 02-23-2012, 06:35 PM

Is there somebody who is interesting of selling 10 or 12 inch columbia boxes ? I need an extra set for a big job that i'm doing and need to hire a 2mchndmud jr

and i will pur him in a scissor lift with the box .

Hmm....I have a spare set of Columbia boxes but im not sure if Im willing to part ways with them....
How long will you need them for Machinemud?

machinemud · 02-23-2012, 07:37 PM

A couple of weeks , maybe 2 but i see you coming and ill say "thanks but no thanks" i don't whant anything to happend to your boxes . Thats why i'm looking for another set to buy. If the futur 2mchmnd jr broke them , well at least it was mine that break . But i appreciate the gesture !

You sure man?...I dont mind you borrowing them for a bit.
I just changed the blades so they're in tip top shape. I really don't mind.

Thanks. I mean, he's not too far away from me...about 8.5hrs I guess.
I really wouldn't mind bro. You seem like a solid dude. As long as I get them back.

machinemud · 02-23-2012, 08:24 PM

Its really a nice gesture but the main reason for an other set is for the newbie . I would never let him use my columbia tools . So there is no way to let him use yours . If it was for me , i would take yours cuz i know how to use it well .

I am a distance from Montreal, but I saw some Columbia boxes in a local pawn shop recently that looked to be in good shape and I think they were asking $125 each. Just a thought!

I think just letting a newb trying to run boxes might be tricky as well.
Not so much because he might damage them but mostly because of what kind of job he'd do with little or no experience

Make sure to keep a close eye on him Frenchie

But I find boxes are pretty friggen durable and hard to break. I've dropped mine a few times and they're fine. But i'll keep an eye for a used set for you man.

Damn, too bad. Seems like a good price.

Pawn shop = tool stolen from jobsite

Awe...lol.
Thats not always true...
It could always be that the cracked out taper hocked them for drugs and beer money. So no need to feel guilty about buying someone else's stolen tools. Instead your most likely just supporting someone's terrible drug habbit!

No I do not agree with that statement.

Out here the shops are heavily regulated and all serial numbers are recorded. If serial numbers are removed the pawn shops wont touch them. It may be that some are hot, but lots of people getting out of the business and legitimally pawning their tools for fast cash as well.

machinemud · 02-23-2012, 09:00 PM

So i guess its not the same everywere , here the pawn shop or 90% stolen tools . So its a non- written rule to not buy from pawn shop here in montreal .

Hmm...Ya i've heard that about quebec too.
One of my employees is from Gatineau. He said the same thing.
Pawn shops are very bad down there.

Mudshark · 02-23-2012, 09:10 PM

Well if you want machinemud I can go back and see if they are still there. If they are I can take photos and send them to you and put you in contact with the shop for you to make your own arrangements and maybe they will freight them out to you. No idea what the freight would cost though.

machinemud · 02-23-2012, 09:13 PM

Mudshark it would be great ! But only if you have time , thanks !

I dont see shipping being that much...
They're not that heavy..20-30$ i'd think. At the most.

Here you go machinemud

A columbia 12 inch just $99.99 at a Nanaimo Pawn Shop. There was also a tapetech 8 inch for same price. I checked them out today again and although they were not cleaned up that well they seem to be in good shape.
