OldGuy Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 It's not so much the price as their availibity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bseedot Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 OldGuy is right. If York still sells them you can get them from them. I have four but I'm keeping those. When I had 50s to sell I was getting rid of them for $0.70/lb. Blob Syndicate is always on the lookout though... BC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odin Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Shipping is what kills you. I wonder if someone has tried putting a layer of books surrounded by a bunch of newspaper with the Blob in the middle, and tried shipping it as "book rate", which I've heard is a lot cheaper. Well, it would just be my luck that I'd get arrested for some type of felony mail fraud if I tried that. I have 2 uncut 100 pound old Yorks, and may sell one of them when I get to the point where I have them hacksawed and am making some attempts to lift the Blob. Right now the 47.5 is barely getting off the ground about 1 out of every 10 attempts, so it may be a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herc Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersqueeze Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 According to the York distributor here in southern CA York no longer makes the solid DBs. Gorilla Hands and I were going to split a 100 and had it ordered. The order went unfulfilled for 2 months before we were told it was a discontinued item. So what I am saying is that the price just went WAY UP!!!! PDA sells the blobette which is a hollow, loadable blob ($100, I think). Mike M.
