Hogosha Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 As long as there was minimal risk of leakage, I think that would be a fine, and useful trade item. --Marky Quote Link to comment
explorerboy Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I wouldn't take it, but whatever. Quote Link to comment
+Davispak Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment
+BigHank Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment

+Kacky Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) 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. 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! Edited July 6, 2006 by Kacky Quote Link to comment
+Henki Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I think it would be a pretty cool trade item! Quote Link to comment
CacheNCarryMA Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Sometimes I use small cans of WD-40 as trade items. Quote Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Sounds like a cool and useful item. I'd probably trade for it if I had something comparable on me. Quote Link to comment
+RockyRaab Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Small, cool, useful - and legal. Sounds perfect to me. Oh, and I'd scarf it up if I found it! Quote Link to comment
+Yamahammer Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 At $75 a barrel, that's a pretty expensive trade item!!! Quote Link to comment
+ZSandmann Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I can get ya some of that. How many barrels can I put you down for? Quote Link to comment
wheetree Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Do a test on the baggie first to make sure the oil doesn't dissolve it. Could get messy otherwise. Quote Link to comment
+New England n00b Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 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 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Would it be Quaker State? Nothing else is worth a hike, even a two block hike. Quote Link to comment
+Lighteye Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I would love to trade for that in a cache! Quote Link to comment
+BomberJjr Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I think that would be a good idea for cache along bike paths. Quote Link to comment
Hogosha Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment
+Look4Orion Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I am fortunate to have a few thousand mini ziplocs Can I can get a dime bag of that stuf? Quote Link to comment
+Woodbutcher68 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'd rather look for a couple of gallons of gasoline or maybe a gas debit card. Those are worth something! Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I wouldn't take it, but whatever. OK...but what does "but whatever" mean? I'm looking for constructive input. 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. Quote Link to comment
57chevy Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I would definitely snag it if I'd find it. Very good Idea. Quote Link to comment
+Team JSAM Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Sounds like a great trade item, I would just make sure that there is no way of it leaking. -TJ Quote Link to comment
rocketmann Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I could use some sport's lube for my bike. I think it would be fine as long as it is sealed. Quote Link to comment
RaisedByWolves Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment
