Too funny. And a very good example of unintended results.

Bear tooth highway. Number 1
Last time I drove the Beartooth (it was mid-summer), I watched a snow storm scud its way across the mountain next to the highway. An amazing road.

On a recent trip to the high plains we were able to stop in at the Burlington Colorado fair grounds to visit the restored carousel on the grounds. Beautiful restoration of hand carved animals and fully functional Wurlitzer organ. Well worth the visit.
Great documentation!
Montana shooters: I have a favor to ask. If anyone is near Butte, Mt., I understand that another carousel is being restored. I"d really like to see some good shots of the work being done. I don't know who you'd contact for that, though.

Now, you've gone and made me homesick... used to hike the Pintler (it used to be called the Pintlar) Wilderness with my dad and brothers when I was a kid.
Do you have a shot of Lost Creek falls? I'm wondering if it has changed much.

Looks a little like those windows in the house are eyes, watching for its owners' return. A bit haunting.

Absolutely beautiful.... Crater Lake in winter. You don't see that too often.

Excellent comment, I wonder what happens to all that Nikon rejected glass. HUMMMMMMMMMMMMM, Tamron, Sigma, HUMMMMMMMMMM.
If I recall correctly, Minolta just tossed the rejected bits and ejecta back into the 'pot.' That was when the old company made their own lenses from scratch. I wonder if Nikon's factory is a place of many pots... glass elements usually have specific 'ingredients' to achieve exacting optical quality.
I am sure that Tamron/Sigma/Tokina don't buy loser lens elements. Humorous, yes!

It seems as though you really want the support that a tripod gives (for bigger prints, maybe?), but you're seeing a near-universal 'don't do it!' from others here. They do make sense.
If you still feel that itch for some kind of support, perhaps you should look into a good monopod that's also designed to be a walking stick. If you do a lot of walking, the thing could be a good addition to your gear. It might also improve the final output of your photos. You can google it and find many choices.
Just a thought.

Craiglist 'can' be a good place, if you set up a safe meeting place to do the deal. Many police stations welcome providing a safe spot to make the sale. Check with your local law enforcement agency to see if they do this. Can't get much safer than that.
I've used craiglist and eBay (I admit, mostly to buy, but I have sold a few items) and encountered no issues. As others have said, you need to factor the eBay fees into the price you set.
