Old Convocation Floor

Posted: 4/30/2013 5:35:53 PM

I have a friend that bought part of the old floor he is trying to sell it to a fellow Bobcat. Private message me on here to get connected to him if you are interested. The floor is in Indianapolis and would need to be picked up there.

I bought a large piece including some of the center jump circle. It was unsold and still in the Convo storage room. I wrote the check as a nice donation to the OBC and the section of floor disappeared sometime over the following 30 days or so until I went over with my van to pick it up. If he has that piece I'd be interested in buying it a second time.

Bobcat 695 What is your cell # and name so I can have him give you a call. I think he has another piece if you are interested. You can private message this info to me.

WOuld look good in anyhouse or biz that has room. It is breathtakingly spectacular in the right setting.

I'm finally unwrapping my piece of the Convo floor and building my basement bar this year. I have a rather nondescript 4x6 (I think) two color piece, in play and out of bounds area.

Im sorry to hear someone has to give up a piece of the original floor. But...If anyone has additional pieces up for grabs I'd be interested.

I have probably 100+ sq ft at least of old convo floor that I bought years back. In varying shapes/conditions/sizes. And you might be surprised of the shape some of that floor was in(not the best)... Some smaller, but some might be 3ftx6ft or so. I bought a bunch, and made a nice bar out of it. The rest I'd love for good Bobcat fans to make use of. Ryan C has first dibs & the Love wants a small piece, but if anyone else is interested, let me know. Some is painted green, some has out of bound lines, some is water damaged (from under the seat areas?). To those that have some, they know this stuff is big/bulky, because it's still got the subfloor nailed to it to keep it together. And it will take a bit of TLC (wax/sanding, urethane, etc) to get it back to form.

And on a sidenote, if any O Zoners needs some bar type posters for their rooms, I have basically downsized my home, and would love for these to get use somewhere.

Needless to say for Bobcat fans the price is right, if you were willing to pay me, give that amount to the Bobcat Club, and you'd have to arrange to pick it up from Columbus. And if you build a bar, invite me over for a couple.. I'll post a couple pics to see if anyone might be interested.

If you can ship a piece of the floor and the posters, i'd buy them from you. can make it to columbus though.

I'm definitely interested in a piece of the floor. I'm in Pittsburgh now, but I'm taking a weekend trip to Columbus June 8-9, so I could pick one up then. I'll send you a PM.

Not sure how cheap that would be, but I'd be willing if you are interested in paying shipping. The wood is pretty heavy. I would have to split you off some.. Cost for the stuff is zero.

when you say cost is zero....is that if you come to Cbus and pick it up? I'd be interested if you're just trying to get rid of some and it's in decent shape/size?

bump.. Just wanted to bring this up again. I had a lot of takers this Summer, and got rid of the majority of old Convo floor. I'm down to 5 bigger pieces now, and it's a tad picked over. Couple of them look pretty good, and a couple need some TLC(sanding/urethane/etc).

I have 2 pieces that are 71in x 48in
1 - 26x42
1 - 31x48
1 - 39x48

First come, first served, and you'll have to pick up from Columbus (43204). It's free to a good Bobcat home.

And if you are possibly interested, you can PM me your email address and I can forward photos of them to you.

Go Ohio.

Two pieces left. One with the part of the arc is the biggest and in the best shape of the two, and the other piece is a little rougher & smaller. This should be my last bump on this subject. First come, first served.
