Alex & Galen & JP's
Ring Game Garage Sale

Alex Brick & Galen Stieltra & JP Krause have requested my (Jack's) help in selling some surplus weapons and armour to anyone in the Ring Game community who might be interested. Having seen the items myself, I can say without fear of contradiction that every item here would get "real" weapon/armour points. Here's the story from Alex:

The story goes that several years ago, a friend of JP and Alex's martial arts instructor passed away, leaving his substantial collection of ren-faire/cos-play weapons and armor to his brother. Recently, his brother passed away, leaving this entire collection to his family, who then sold it to our instructor for a very small sum of money. The gist of this is that their instructor does not want any of these things. He was only interested in several authentic Japanese swords that the family had inherited, but they insisted that he take all of the other stuff as well. So, to him, all of this stuff is useless crap clogging up his garage. He has given JP, Alex & Galen permission to sell what they can at the upcoming Ring Game on his behalf. This is all really good stuff. There are swords, axes, and even highly coveted helmets!

They aren't in this to profit, scam people, or sell junky stuff. They just stumbled upon a treasure trove, and want to share it with the Ring Game community (also, their instructor wants his garage back...). So, here's the deal: photos of all thirty-two items are shown below, along with the asking price. If you are interested in any of these items, please e-mail Alex to discuss. The current plan is to park a van with the items in it somewhere near the Humanities building on April 20th before picks, so if people want to see and hold them before buying, they can do so. All items will be sold on a first-come first-served basis, so if you see something you really want, e-mail Alex to say so. Be sure to reference the item number and description so there's no confusion about which item is being discussed.

NOTE from Jack: The Governor Dodge Park Rangers frown on things like selling weapons in the park, so make sure that you complete your transaction with Alex & Co. before the game.
