If you need a projector for tomorrow, you could use mine. Supply your own video cable. If interested, send me a PM and someone in the Jackson area could meet up with me in the morning. I will be wanting it back, though--I enjoy my home theater.

Ok, midnight now. Have a good time tomorrow guys and gals.

My dad does ebay stuff, and gets these things CONSTANTLY from college campuses and sells them for ten times the amount online. I run across them all the time. I use them for movies, and help him sell them occasionally. Instead of wasting $500, I'll get a hold of a good quality working one, and trade it for a MOC membership. Fair enough? Save your funds for something else.


Yes, I'm serious too.

We might be interested in this. Make up a proposal listing what have with pictures and so forth and I will present it to the board. We can always use another projector.

har har, i edited my post.

Let me call him this weekend and see what he's got. If you're at the Warren picnic today, I'll talk to you more about it.

Seriously though, these are good projectors, I've watched movies on them, played video games on them, etc. I don't have one in my possession right now (sold it for gun money LOL) but I know he just got a TON of them.

Sounds good. I've been wanting to get a membership, but don't have any extra money since I'm getting married in 23 days, and am supposed to close on my first house in about 10. A projector is something I could definitely get my hands on though. I'll have an answer for you guys by the end of the weekend to whether or not I can get my hands on one.

I have a portable screen that is self-contained in an aluminum case that I can sell if you guys still need one. It looks exactly like the one pictured in this ebay auction. One thing to note is that it is a full-screen rather than a widescreen. Mine is in exceptional shape, nothing wrong with the screen whatsoever. If you're interested just let me know and we can figure out a price.
