I've got ten Sceptre Gerry cans for sale, all are used but still hold fuel as designed. The color is tan, some have painted on numbers, most have the straps still on them and the screw on lids are good. I haven't gotten the gaskets to convert for regular gas use, those and the replacement straps are on EBay for a decent price.
Let me know if you want pics and I'll send some out.
I'll use the USPS calculator to get a shipping quote based on how many of these you want.

Biggie, looks like shipping is going to be $35 for 4 to you. I'll try to get them out on Monday, maybe Tuesday. Pay pal is twinmill28@rocketmail.com

I started hoarding as soon as we moved back here 3 years ago thinking this was our "forever" home. Turns out forever has an expiration date of about, mmm, 3 years. I've been applying for jobs and the reality is we're probably going to have to move. One of my job interviews Monday is for El Centro, California. Yeah, I might as well sell this stuff while I can because if I move there it'll get stolen anyway!
Another interview (second round) Monday afternoon is for Richland, Washington (state).
I've got a list of stuff I need to get out of the garage and need to get to selling, I sure as hell don't want to pay to have this crap packed and shipped somewhere else. I have fifteen of these jerry cans, can't see the need for more than 5--and I think I'm holding these just cause you all say they're cool

These are getting harder to find these days as they don't make them anymore because of CARB.

Good luck with the interviews. I hope you get the El Centro gig. That's not such a bad place. National City is the place you want to avoid. I have family there - 2 of whom are CALTRAN structural engineers that I could put you in touch with. There are some nice neighborhoods there.

What else you liquidating? I still have a couple of things that I've been holding for you.

I'll take two of the least roughest. Ship them with Luis' we'll figure it out after.

El Centro? You might stand a chance of wheeling with us or we can cruise the mall at least. Be nice to actually meet you

Hey Biggie, you know I'll take care of you on the condition of what I send.

Nope, not selling the HUMMER sign (either one), but not looking forward to getting them off the wall either. Now that I've built the mounting brackets and have an idea what it takes to get them put up it'll be somewhat easier in a new location.

You bet.

Twin, you can ship all 6 to me. I'll cover the shipping charges for all 6.

Zack, we will work out how/when to get your 2 to you.

Ultimately, I'd like to pick them up in Az on a run. Have to get the truck water worthy first. Know how it is there.

It doesn't look like I can ship all six together for a decent price. The quote jumped from $35 for 4 to $96 for 6!
With that said, it's no problem to box up the other two and send them on to Cali if you want, Zach. Just let me know what you want and I'll get them sent out.

I need your mailing address and a phone number Biggie--I really need to talk about the El Centro thing. I spent time on the internet looking at the area and housing and just got a bad feeling that I'd be moving my family to a really bad area. According to the stats I read half the town is unemployed, almost all the houses I looked at for sale were foreclosures, and the town looks like it's right in the middle of sprawling farmland--not really good views. Plus being a border town crime is going to be higher.
Not to be negative Nancy, on the plus side, San Diego is only 1-1/2 hrs away so we wouldn't lose the beach scene. Phoenix is about 3-1/2 hours away so we can be close to family, but not so close they're always on top of us. And Anza Borrego would be right out the back door! Plus there's dunes just down the road so I can get another dirtbike or sand rail.
I'm just not so confident in the location. Even though I grew up in Phoenix and it was always a good idea, I never learned Spanish, so this old dog would need to learn that new trick.

Twin, just sent you the $ via Paypal. I also included my shipping address and my cell phone # in the Paypal payment confirmation. Call me anytime to talk about El Centro.

BTW, I paid the $35 for shipping the 4 cans. That way Zack can get his shipped directly to Cali when he pays you for his 2. Shipping can't be that bad for 2.
