BPL special–The last ever Stix are available

Some of you may know that the multiple-use Stix I have sold in the past are no longer available. I've tried to find a metal worker that could do the unique S-shaped heads, but it seems that everyone is afraid of titanium. So I am out of the Stix business now. When the past batches were made, I kept some for myself as a personal stash. Recently, I realized that I set aside more than I will ever need. I would like to cull the herd, and make the extras available to BPL people. I have up to six sets of 6 I can let go. For personal reasons, I am limiting this offer to BPL's M and MLife members only. While I certainly have appreciated the contributions of the F members, I want to reward those that have chosen to support Ryan Jordan and BPL in a more substantial way. For those of you that aren't familiar with the Stix, they were originally designed to support one of my Zia grills when no rocks were available. They are multi-use, in that they work well as tent stakes, for hanging a candle on the wall of an igloo or quinzee, and anything else you might think of. They are rather unique. Here's a photo of what I am offering. There will be four 10" Stix (as measured from the bottom of the "S"), and two that are a smidge over 12" (the Stix are made from .012" 6/4 titanium). The past batches were 8.5" and 9" to 9.5" long. I kept those that happened to be longer, as they work better to support a grill in softer soil where I have to place them deeper. In addition, I had my guy make some of the 12" guys with the leftover rod so I could play around with them. I figured I could always cut them down. My go-to set of 6 includes what you see in the photo–4 shorter ones, and 2 longs. The extra length of the longer ones comes in handy for raising my gravity filter cord to an out-of-reach branch.
The price, which includes shipping, is a bit high at $40 for a set of 6 Stix. The reasons it's a little more than what I had charged previously is because: 1) They are slightly longer than the others 2) They are the "picks of the litter", the most primo Stix (for my private collection, remember?) 3) They are the last remaining Stix. I won't be making any more, ever. So here's what you do, if you want a set: First post in this thread so that I can see the M or MLife next to your name, then either send me a PM, or more preferably, send me an e-mail to drzooz (at) aol (dot) com If anyone has questions, you may either post them in this (watched) thread, or pop me an e-mail at the above address. Edit-By the way, in the photo the 2 longer ones look curved. They aren't, it's just a cheap camera with a sort of fish-eye attitude.
