I have been wrongly accused of trying to rip someone off on the forsale section. I posted an Escort 8500 X50 Blue for $200. I had numerous inquiries but no one stepped up and sent the funds. So, to end the nonsense and show that I don't need the money I am offering it here for FREE including shipping to the first person, (other than those that have accused me of trying to rip them off), that posts "I'll take it". All I ask is that whoever gets this follows up and offers something of equal value to fellow corvette forum members. If you don't intend to continue the "pay it forward" please do not accept this.

Whoa, that's a very nice gesture.

Tell whoever accused you to take a hike.

Nice gesture Maui . . . great idea and philosophy.

Hope it works for you and others.

As a side note, I've purchased several things from forum members, always had a good experience - - and made a few friends along the way!

Incredible gesture Ken. You don't have to prove anything here. You are among friends. It is a shame just how poorly people can behave behind a keyboard.

Thanks guys. I have no hard feelings against anyone. I guess I'm just not used to selling stuff and I was not prepared for the number of replies I had in the sale section.

Keep the freebie's coming.

And I, in particular, remember Maui's giving away rotors right around Christmas time as he mentioned in his detector thread.

Folks, this IS A STAND UP member who needs no grief from anyone. He's been on C4 and now on C6 with a good reputation.

I don't know how or why the confusion on the for sale item, but I think this current action speaks for itself.

I applaud it, Maui .

I agree with the others, you appear to be a stand up type of guy. Very nice gesture.
