Champion Lighting - 10% Off Sale

rmougey · 05/22/2009, 09:50 PM

I received an e-mail from one of my favorite suppliers; they are offering 10% off this weekend on purchases of $100 or more.

While these sales aren't terribly unusual, I had to laugh when I looked at their closeout page. They are selling a 'Box O' Crap' for $19.99. Gotta love those guys. You can check it out here.

And, yes..... I just had to have one for my very own. You can never have enough crap in the fish room you know. We'll see what turns up.

I also got in on the Box-o-crap, for some silly reason I just couldnt pass it up. I ordered Friday, so it will probably ship Tuesday

Nice hall Rob! That seems like a pretty good Box-o-crap!

I wish my crap, wasn't such crap.....

Almost everything is used, and very used.

I don't think I will be using this.

Really???

And one of the wierdest things, 8, autographed stickers. I have no idea whos signed these, or why I have 8 of them. They are all the same.

3 containers of Chemipure, I think only 1 has a label on it.
1 very used squeege
1 pair of used tongs that don't work
1 stupid advertisement poster
1 very used sea squirt (if this cleans up, its definitely the best thing I got)
lots of very used and rusty plumbing
3 pieces of scrap acrylic???????
1 Kent platinum herbivore food
1 piece of locline
1 enductor(sp?)
1 250W mh super white
1/2 tube old dried up epoxy

rmougey · 05/30/2009, 11:37 AM

Oh.... crap indeed my friend.

I see that Chemipure and Kent food were popular choices for crap. Should that tell us something?

The SeaSwirl indeed is a nice piece, assuming that you can get it working, of which I have no doubt.

I'd lay odds that the stickers are meant to be placed in books, making them 'signed' by the author. Is that Delbeek's sig on top?

The other stuff..... we'll..... there's always Craigslist..... or the trash can. Maybe you can salvage a few parts. They might clean up nicely?

As for the poster, don't you think you should have it framed and placed in the fish room? No? Well me neither. I suspect that it will go the same place as my 'priceless' Miracle Mud DVD.
