When and if I sell it in one lump,
I will pay the shipping.
That could be a heavy cost. I recently sent my rack and rope to a friend in Jersey; total shipping and insurance cost was around $300. I used USPS 3 day.

Those bills are fake money. Nobody is out of pocket. The medical corps rack up ridiculous bills knowing full well that they will not get paid, then offset them against profits, it is a tax dodge. What sucks is that insurname companies get the services provided at a grealty reduced price, less than what you get billed. Kinda of like getting underwear on sale at walmart, wearing them till they are loaded up with skid marks and then donating them to Goodwill for a write-off at full retail.

We all have our ups and downs in life Cosmic, why don't you man up, and let some of the more fortunate people who have experienced same sh#t as you, give you a hand? Its just like top roping on a hard climb and falling, that's what the rope is for.
I like your TR's and your bromance with what was her name, and all the other funny posts you do. Im sure Im not alone in this. Time to grab the hand that is offered when you've been knocked down.

^^ Yup, go with Studlys advice ^^ You don't have a $3500 rack my friend. You have a need for $3500 but your rack looks to be worth substantially less than that. Best to you on the health issues, GOFUNDME is a solution to that.
You had back surgery and it screwed you up? That just occurred to my long time climbing partner. He said he expected to be walking within 2 days of the surgery. I called last week and 2 weeks after he's in near unbearable pain. Sucks. Backs just suck.
They suck worse than Locker from all I've heard. :-)
(sorry locker, couldn't resist) GOFUNDME Cosmik, and wish you luck on the back.

Hey man - I too have gone through back surgery and understand the pain and frustration.
That said, let me tell you this. I don't want to buy your rack. I already have one. Besides, you're going to need that stuff again some day.
I do, however, want to make a donation towards your medical expenses.
This isn't charity. This is a brother wanting to help another brother. I'm not rich, but I learned how to share a long time ago.
PM me or call me. I know you have the number.

Cosmic-
We have had a number of fundraisers for people that have needed help. I don't consider less of them because they reached out for help. We are a family here; we may disagree on occasion, but in the end we support each other.
