Huge Ackman Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 I gave away all of my VIP stuff for free (except shipping costs and the shirt which I kept) to various members of the forum.Me too, I love Rush but for whatever reason I just dont collect stuff...so except for keeping one tour book I've given away all our VIP swag from each leg of the tour to forum members. At the Hamilton show as we were leaving saw one really young kid just beaming having experienced Rush (probably for the first time)...so I gave my VIP laminates to his dad for his son. Kid was so happy it just made an awesome show even better for us. Just mailed off my last coin & CA guitar picks today...paying it forward. Cheers! You are good and caring human beings and I am a greedy pig. The world is a better place because of people like you and worse for the likes of my ilk. You probably sleep better at night than I do because you are so virtuous... http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%20Hamilton%20ONT%20%206%20July%202013/IMG_3819_zpsbe32d54b.jpg No need to appear dickish. Neither of those fine two members was trying to besmirch you, IMO. You're right.... just got up on the wrong side of the bed this a.m. Dickish comment retracted... Rock on!

HalfwayToGone Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hey, and don't get the idea that I think you're gouging anyone. A few bucks more than the average going rate is still within reason. The people asking $150 for just the coin? Now that's gouging. If no one on the forum makes an offer, and you list your stuff on eBay with only a buy it now option, you'll probably get what you're asking for from someone who doesn't feel like getting in a bidding contest.

LedRush Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 So, I'll assume my offer was rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge Ackman Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 So, I'll assume my offer was rejected. What offer was that? I don't recall any PMs from you LedRush. If you sent something, I didn't get it.... please send again. I notice that my item photos have disappeared. If anybody needs to see them, I'll post again. Otherwise, shots from the Grand Rapids, Milwaukee, Hamilton trifecta will have to do... Rock on! http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%202013%20Milwaukee%204%20July/IMG_3760_zps04b09d3b.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Ackman Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Big stage.... BIG show!http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%202013%20Hamilton%20ONT%20%206%20July/IMG_3890_zpsc723ee85.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Did you shoot these photos, HA? If so, you done good! I've been posting mine, but didn't really get anything of any actual quality until the last show I attended in Hershey, where I brought a camera instead of just using my iPhone. As usual I posted way too many mediocre photos, but I think I got a couple of gems in there. My favorite will be posted below in the spirit of your posts here. Another off topic comment in case I didn't make it before. Great screen name! I've been saying "huge ackman" for a few years now anytime I mention the actor in conversation.

Another off topic comment in case I didn't make it before. Great screen name! I've been saying "huge ackman" for a few years now anytime I mention the actor in conversation. Indeed, these are all photos that I took. I borrowed a camera from a friend for the 2007 show at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA, and got some amazing shots. I set the thing of full-auto and set the frame. Otherwise, it is all the camera's doing. I often get credit but can really take none as I'm truly just pointing and shooting most of the time. A few favorites from the past:http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%2007%20Shoreline/Rush07Shoreline003.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%202010%20Red%20Rocks%208-18/RushatRedRocks2010483.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%2007%20Marysville/Rush07Marysville050.jpg http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%202010%20Red%20Rocks%208-18/RushatRedRocks2010420.jpg The screen name is fitting for me. I'm a male, former football player (interior line) so somewhat "huge" in stature and my given last name includes "Ack"... Huge... Ack...man..... Get it? Rock on!http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%202013%20Milwaukee%204%20July/IMG_3765_zps781859ea.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerxster Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 You continuous salesman bumping of this thread gives it an odor of despiration, for which to me as a consumer I find unappealing. You're going to have to put it on discount now, if you hope to ever sell. They're practically damaged goods at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to have to put it on discount now, if you hope to ever sell. They're practically damaged goods at this point. The VIP merch has sort of taken back seat and I've just been posting photos of the recent shows I attended. No attempt to bump the sales thread intended. Rock on! http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z33/bfwgjma/Rush%202013%20Hamilton%20ONT%20%206%20July/IMG_3815_zps3c493d86.jpg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The duplicate posted ones are enjoyable to look at twice, but your wonderful photos deserve a much better thread this one. You can't airwick out the salesman desperation with lovely photos.
