Anyone have a dead AF ultralight lame?

[Mac A. Bee]

Didn't you get an email from Gary saying he's pretty sure he has a dead lame if you need one?

Same here. No reply.

Judge me by my size, do you???

I am the obvious stating, judging not, am I.

[Joe biebel]

I would not part with my mostly dead AF ultralight lame. It looks fine, dut does not register hits worth a darn. We rarely test lames here.

Full of BS you are....look in mirror, I suggest!

Rep us you should...

[Alex_Paul]

Just let me fence with it for a couple weeks. Guaranteed dead; I sweat acid apparently.

Infact, it took me less than a year of regular fencing and treating it very gently, always on a hanger, etc, to kill one of LPs supposedly indestructible ultra light lames...

Noew that I would like to see...

I have recieved a photo so think I am all set for an AF.

I was wondering wether the issue was testing at nac's rather than functionality for practice so this answers part of my question.

Shameless rep beggar, you are.

This whole thing reminds me of a favorite lapel button...

More entertaining than some threads, this drift is...

Alex happy not, probably is. Rather talk about lame` problem, probably would. The force is strong in this one. Drifting further to the dark side, we are.......

You guys all need refresher courses in Galactic Basic syntax!

[monitorlizerd]

AF lame, I have, in good shape. Willing to ruin it, I am not.
Disturbances in The Force, I feel. Criticizing our grammar, he is.

It's not wise to upset a Wookie. They like to pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose...

[telkanuru]

Wowzers.

But... will the discounted lame include international transaction fees?

[Alex_Paul]

But... will the discounted lame include international transaction fees?

It depends on how shockingly your bank was miss managing your money last year and therefore how desperate it is to rip you off now to recoup its losses.



Seriously though we are looking into this to see if anything can be done but I am not holding out much hope I am afraid. We take the transaction in USD but it is paid back to a USD account held in the UK. I have no idea why some banks have started to do this. Well in fact I do and it is the reason above!

I would complain to your bank and if enough people complain they will have to stop making this ridiculous charge.

[oso97]

Well, Alex, just as a point to realize - you do understand that the customer's have little standing or even ability to make this complaint. For example, when one complains to the bank, they're going to come back and say that we have no proof that the merchants (yours) bank account is in USD. To them, its an account in a foriegn country, so its an international transaction. And so then we're stuck.

In point of fact though, I'd fully expect this charge, even from an account in the USA to an account in [Britain, Australia, China, France, etc] that was in "USD" becuase it is an "international transaction."

But, here's a hypothetical: What if you were to open an account at a US bank for the purposes of doing business in the USA? I'd be curious to see if you could find one who wouldn't charge you an international transaction fee when transferring the money to your regular bank across the pond in Britain. But then, its entirely possible that you might, given that you're doing a certain volume of buisiness.

Bummed that I missed a window for this, I have an AF ultralight that's got little holes all over the front of it (it still passes conductivity, or did).

[ladyofshalott99]

...Wouldn't this just prompt someone to buy an AF UL on clearance, beat the hell out of it, and send it to you to get the discount? That would be my first thought, anyway....
