What's the most interesting karma you have won? Login/Join

Over the last 15 years, I have won a karma or two. All have been appreciated and used (none resold either). However, I think this is the most interesting one. It's an original Checkpoint Charlie patch circa the Cold War. Unfortunately, I can't remember who gave it to me but thanks once again for it (and the NOAA patch). I have it on a shelf in my office to this day.

I can think of a couple of useful things I've won, but you asked for interesting karmas, so that would be the NRA "History of Firearms" book. It was a rather large volume with real nice paper. I kept for over a year or more and re-karma'd it.

I can't remember who I won it from either.

Jim

I won a story from doc Steve which I read and deleted per his request. When I say story I mean personal experience.


I also won a jar of Mrs Thunderson's homemade Apple Butter from a Karma by Thunderson. Hands down the best I've ever had and I've been waiting ever since for him to offer up another one. (Shameless non-subtle hint)

I have won a few karmas, and I've been very grateful for every one of them. One was a brand new holster from Country Boy. What an EXCELLENT piece of leather workmanship!



I found what you said riveting.

I feel bad because I can't remember the member's name but I won (twice no less) the homemade smoked salmon from Alaska Karma. Amazing, unlike anything I've ever had.

I won a karma from a good member here who lives in Florida. It was a bunch of ball bearings. I was going to use them as projectiles for Mrs DFs sling. The interesting part is that the box arrived empty. There was a tear in the box which I assume is where the ball bearings escaped. What I thought was funny is that the delivery service actually delivered an empty box! hahaha!!! I didn't mention anything to the member because I didn't want him to feel any obligation to send more and incur extra expense. I do feel bad that he put something extra in there but I have no idea what it was. So there it is. Big Grin

So, you're saying Doc Steve took out UBL? Wink. This sounds like the most interesting karma ever considering Doc Steve's background.

Right after the election, I won a giant 3D printed Lego character of Donald Trump holding a MAGA sign. It's awesome.

I asked a question about work gloves here, a member sent me an awesome selection of several pair. One pair had "Dyneema" on written them. Those gloves are indestructible. I have worn them for every outdoor task and they have held up like nothing I have ever had. I wish I had written down the manufacturer and type, I would buy a couple pair of those.

The ones you linked to have a coating that mine do not have. They may be a viable option though. Thanks!

And sorry for the thread drift OP.

I have won many Karma's and received many great gifts, I thank every one that sent them very much.

The two that stand out to me, is one that I won from shifferbrains, a Sig P226 .22lr conversion kit for my W. German 226, and a beautiful Citizen wristwatch from Dave Truong, thanks again guys.

I have won a couple of Karmas, and they have all been very cool. I think the coolest one that I won was an American flag for flag day.

I advertised in the forum Classifieds that I wanted to buy some AR15 parts.

12131 responded that he had the parts and would send them to me for FREE!

I karma'ed a holster in recognition of his generosity.

Dammit Jim (Yes, I know that's not your name) you should have said something. I collect the ball bearings from bad wheel bearings at work. My only expense is shipping, which is nominal. FOr the life of me I can't remember what the Extra item was though.
