Well, James Garrett ended up not going to Lowes to get his stuff, so I returned it. Also my premium on my car insurance went down this year. So I'm passing both of these savings on to you guys!

First three people to post with their full name (what it says on your ID, you will need this to pick up the items) and your zip code (or city if you don't want to give out your zip) in this thread will get the following item:

http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&productId=12
44431&cId=

I'll give you instructions on how to get the item. First come first served. (That's the fairest way I can think to do this; I don't want people to have to give stories to prove they need it/deserve it and any attempt to randomize a la post ending in XX could be too easily manipulated on a slower board like this. I'm very sorry if you're one of the people that miss out.)

>>144609

All I need is your first and last name, and zip code or city. All I meant by "what it says on your ID" is that I need a name that will be verifiable by the people at lowes. If you give a fake name that's what will be on the order, and then they won't let you pick up the items.

#4 is to prevent people from posting other people's information, including emails. If it was intended to prevent people from posting their own info there wouldn't be an email field. Also I've done threads like this before, and I haven't gotten banned or warned for it yet, so I assume the mods don't have a problem with it.

True, but most people are very very leery of posting contact info and real names. Especially when you've seen what goes down on /b/ and why those rules are in place in the first place. Flies in the ointment ruin everything for the rest of us.

David, it looks like home depot has an issue with my card billing address not being in the same state as your in-store pickup. If you could give me an email to keep in contact with you with, I will go and buy a gift card later in the week and then use that to purchase your item for you. That would be the easiest way to get around this. I just called them and they won't accept anything less than me being there in person with my card (They won't accept me faxing my card/id to them) Gift cards would fix this.

Isn't it a sad world when we have to question the motives of someone doing something nice?

I moved in with my mother-in-law after brain surgery to provide care for her...everyone has asked me why. When I say, "Because it is the right thing to do" they look at me like I'm insane. Our society has become so self-serving that when someone steps out of that and does nice things for another person, people have to wonder if there is something wrong with them.
