If any one is interested in the Caithness Unity weight, contact me at daizamaker AT volcano DOT net

That link seems still only available if you log in to Facebook, which many don't. Forum preferences are that photos are added to the board otherwise over time they get deleted elsewhere and the thread is useless. Also should be one item per thread.

And sales must be in the market place section of the forum only.

Several items are OK for show and tell. It's IDs that need posting separately

I bought a collection of weights last week at an estate sale, 15 in total.
I will be posting good individual photos as soon as I have them to see what anyone can tell me about them.

That's how this thread started though

And we really would like to see the weights posted directly on the board - this means they are here permanently - as a record along with all the comments, for future reference.
pretty please?

I will be posting the photos here.
I have to resize all of them and it is a lot of work (for me at least).

[chopin-liszt]

Well, we prefer that folk don't post more than three items on any one day anyway. 
It clogs up the first page and makes other folks' posts disappear.

And each of your weights deserves a thread to itself.

Great!
This is proving to be too much!
After taking photos, loading them on to my computer and then taking each one at a time down to 500KB, I realize they have to be 125KB and now I will have to take photos all over again because they are all over 125KB at their smallest!

If you resize the high-res photos so that the longest dimension is 700 pixels you should be OK. If you retake them at lower res, all we'll see is big fuzzy blurs. There are plenty of free resizing programmes available, irfanview being one.
