Next Sunday we're going to start a new showcase feature called "Buys Of The Week" Here's how it will work:
Next Sunday (evening?) Doc will post the BOTW topic. It will read something like "Buys Of The Week of June 28-July 4, 2002".
You can then post (or email your pics to Doc to post for you) the items you've added to your petro collection during the period specified in the title. Items can be posted anytime right up until he starts the new topic the following week. I might lock the old topic at that time.
Here's the beauty of BOTW. You can post ANY petro item. Cans, signs, pumps, globes, etc. Everyone on this site should be able to participate since ALL petro collectibles will be welcome. In other words there's no excuse not to participate!
As with all of our showcase features there are a few ground rules. The most important being that you cannot advertise items that are for sale. We have a "For Sale or Trade" forum for that. I realize that some items that are posted might actually be for sale, but you can't say so. I will edit or delete any post that I feel crosses the line so don't abuse this (or any other) feature.
Like all the other showcase features, replies will be welcome.....positive comments that is, atta boys, etc.
A great big thanks to Jim Potts for giving the thumbs up to this new feature.
I also want to thank Doc for accepting the job of hosting BOTW. Doc will be pulling double duty because he's going to be overseeing COTM starting July 1.
Lets have some fun! Bob

I think this is a great idea. Doc or I can help post your images. We all enjoy hearing about fellow enthusiasts adding things they like to their collection. Sure, this has already been going on from time to time, but now there is a committment to do it in a regular, organized way. Let's all support this!

Sounds like a neat feature!! I know Doc will do a great job with this!
REMEMBER, ALL OF US OLDGASSERS NEED TO PARTICIPATE. EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY ITEM/ITEMS TO POST YOU CAN GET INTO THE COMMENT MODE.
Great idea guys! Thanks!
