Oil As A Trade Item?

[Hogosha]

I have a bunch of "Xtream Sports Lube" sample bottles, which are 2/3 oz. (20 ml) each. They are great for bikes, skates, skateboards, pretty much anything. I guess use it on anything you would use a WD_40 type product on.

 

If I sealed them in mini-ziplocs, so they would did not leak in any way, do you think this would be a good trade item? Let me know what you think.

[+Marky]

As long as there was minimal risk of leakage, I think that would be a fine, and useful trade item.

I wouldn't take it, but whatever.

[+Davispak]

people put batteries in them(caches) unprotected and those corrode and ruin everything in a cache. If its in a sealed container and then you put it in a good ziploc bag I think you would be ok.

[+BigHank]

I don't see any problem with it....although when I read the title of the topic, I was hoping you were going to put a case of 10w-30 in the cache...I'd definitely hunt for that one.

OK...but what does "but whatever" mean? I'm looking for constructive input.

hmmm, good idea. Does each finder get one or is the case a FTF prize? That would be a mean trick if it was a long hike out!

I think it would be a pretty cool trade item!

[CacheNCarryMA]

Sometimes I use small cans of WD-40 as trade items.

[CoyoteRed]

Sounds like a cool and useful item. I'd probably trade for it if I had something comparable on me.

[+RockyRaab]

Small, cool, useful - and legal. Sounds perfect to me. Oh, and I'd scarf it up if I found it!

[+Yamahammer]

At $75 a barrel, that's a pretty expensive trade item!!!

[+ZSandmann]

I can get ya some of that. How many barrels can I put you down for?

[wheetree]

Do a test on the baggie first to make sure the oil doesn't dissolve it. Could get messy otherwise.

[+New England n00b]

Is this in one of those completely sealed squeeze tubes that you need scissors to open, or in a more typical plastic cap-foil underseal tube?

 

If the former, I think it is great! If the latter, less so, but if teh foil seal is intact, but be OK.

 

Neat idea, though I haven't a need for one. It is a unique trade item, and that is good!

[+Team Cotati]

Would it be Quaker State? Nothing else is worth a hike, even a two block hike.

[+Lighteye]

I would love to trade for that in a cache!

[+BomberJjr]

I think that would be a good idea for cache along bike paths.

[Hogosha]

Well I said "Oil" because I did not want to say "Personal Lubricant" . The small bottles have screw caps, but no foil seal underneath, I am fortunate to have a few thousand mini ziplocs ( I usually ziploc everything going into a cache) and I also have a heat sealer. I'm going to do a test this weekend, with one leaking on purpose, but double bagged.

Can I can get a dime bag of that stuf?

[+Woodbutcher68]

I'd rather look for a couple of gallons of gasoline or maybe a gas debit card. Those are worth something!

I think it means he's indifferent over your suggestion.

 

As long as it doesn't leak or attract critters I think it's a good idea.

[+57chevy]

I would definitely snag it if I'd find it. Very good Idea.

[+Team JSAM]

Sounds like a great trade item, I would just make sure that there is no way of it leaking.

I could use some sport's lube for my bike. I think it would be fine as long as it is sealed.

[RaisedByWolves]

Superb idea, especially along bike paths or fishing holes. During hunting season if I happened to cache on my way through to game lands and found that I'd most likely call it a successful day and go home (at least I got *something*)

 

Wow, nice run-on sentence.....I'll edit later and see if I can make it longer
