Eco-Challenge sælger ud.

Clas / 18.02.2004

Der er stadig intet nyt vedrørende fremtiden for Eco-Challenge. Løbet blev ikke afholdt i 2003, og der var ingen offentliggjort dato for i år. Så udsigterne for alle-tiders mest kendte løb så ikke gode ud. Og nu ser fremtiden måske endnu mere sort ud. Bagmændene bag løbet sælger alt deres udstyr som de har samlet gennem årene. Ikke færre end 16.000 enkelt emner er til salg, og listen indeholder ting som bl.a. knæklys, reb, telt osv.

Står du og skal afholde et adventureløb, og mangler en masse udstyr, lyder dette tilbud måske spændende. Men for mange adventurerace fans varsler det dårligt nyt. Kommer der flere Eco-Challenge løb i fremtiden?

Attention Race Directors or aspiring Race Directors:

Eco-Challenge is liquidating their event production inventory. Everything must go. There are about 16,000 items, ranging from rescue beacons to zip ties - everything that was owned by the event and shipped overseas to produce the event. Items range in from brand new to 8 years old.

Examples are:

EPIRB Rescue Beacons
Weatherhaven Tent
200m spools of 11mm climbing rope new and used
Generators
GPS\'s
Rubbermaid Action Packer boxes
Hammocks
Rigging bolts
Heli Nets
Bungee Cords
Cooksets

Glow Sticks
Power Strips

You get the idea ... lots of stuff small and large, in various conditions.

These items will not be sold individually. The entire inventory will be sold to a person or company who agrees to take all items, in their present condition. Everything is located in Santa Monica, CA in a storage room.

The bid must include emptying out the room. The space is desperately needed as soon as possible. All bids are welcome.

If you are interested in receiving the entire inventory list to place a bid, please contact me at triciamiddleton@earthlink.net and I will be happy to send it to you. If you would like to submit a bid, you may see the entire inventory by appointment.
