BloodShedDragon,

I wasn’t looking to add to my hardware, so I may be well below other bidders. That said, I’ll get the “auction” started by offering about half the current price on the things that are of interest to me:
Tank tread kit: List $30 Offering $15
Chain & Sprocket kit: List $30 Offering $15
Advanced gear kit: List $20 Offering $10
Starter gear kit (276-2169? Please confirm part number.): List $13 Offering $7

Those prices are based on the parts being in the contiguous United States and you being willing to ship via UPS and to add the actual UPS charges to the parts total. (That is, I’m expecting to have to pay for domestic shipping, but not a “handling” charge.)

I’m *not *interested in the control and programming components.

OTOH, I am interested in mechanical parts, motors, and servos. I’ll check back on Monday to see what you’ve posted.

I suggest that, when you get the rest of your items posted, you set a deadline for offers.

Thanks for offering these items to us,
Eric

I updated my original post with everything I have to offer.

I’d like to buy the motor package and the omni wheels. Say, $10 for the omni’s and $30 for the motors? Shipping won’t cost much, I live very close to you (but I won’t say it publicly. I’m paranoid.)

BloodShedDragon,
My offers above:[INDENT]Tank tread kit: $15
Chain & Sprocket kit: $15
Advanced gear kit: $10
[/INDENT]stand.

As you’ve bundled the axles with the starter gear kit, I’ll change my bid to:[INDENT]Starter gear set + Axles: Offering $10
[/INDENT]Based on what you’ve added, I’m also offering:[INDENT]Fasteners (keps nuts, washers, collars): $10
Regular metal: $20
Advanced metal: $20
Wheel kit: $15
[/INDENT]If, perchance, you find someone interested in the line trackers, but not the limit switches and bumper switch, I’ll offer $10 for the two limit switches and one bumper switch. I do not foresee a use for the line trackers, so you’ll probably be better off if you find someone who wants your whole “sensors” package.

As you now seem to have offers on most of what you’ve listed, can you give us some idea of when you’re likely to choose the “lucky winners”?

Folks,
I understand that there’s some reluctance to bid against other Forum members, but if you’d care to offer BloodShedDragon more than I have for any of these items, please do so. What I’ve offered is based on what I think buying these items now is worth to me. That’s not a reflection of their value to you.

Well, right now I’m getting general interest and pricing from around the forums. I’ve had a few PM bids. I’ll hopefully decide who wins what by the end of this week however; maybe earlier depending on if someone makes a really decent offer :slight_smile:

Most of the items have sold. I do have the Chain and Sprocket kit left along with the sensors.

I am willing to sell the sensors individually.

Sorry to all of the bidders who didn’t win; someone offered me a really nice amount for most of the items.

Bloodsheddragon,

Just in case it wasn’t obvious, I meant my offers to be severable. In other words, I’m still offering:

$15 for the chain & sprocket kit and
$10 for the two limit switches and one bumper switch.

As I’ve received an offer to split your original sensor package, I’m also offering $25 for the 3 line trackers, two limit switches and one bumper.

Eric

wait, so are you saying $25 for all the sensors and $10 for the chain and sprocket kit?
If you’d like, I’ll send an invoice to you ASAP; if you pay before I leave to send the other buyers package I can ship your order to you today.

Bloodsheddragon,
Close, I was offering $15 for the chain & sprocket kit and $25 for the sensors (3 line trackers + 2 limit switches + 1 bumper). If you want to sell me the chain and sprocket kit for $5 less, who am I to complain?:wink: That said, my $15 offer is still on the table.

How were you figuring on my paying you?

Also, were you expecting to pay for shipping or to charge me for it later? If you can give me your zip code, I can figure out what UPS will charge.

TIA,
Eric

Line followers? Do you still have them for sale?

Technic-R-C

Yes, although I’ve been offered $15 for them.

My zip is 06480. Seeing as your in San Francisco, I chose a random zip code and shipping seems to be roughly $10.

I was hoping to make the transaction through paypal. I’m fairly certain that you don’t need a paypal account to pay for it, however.

What’s your email address (so that you can send me your exact address + allow me to send you the invoice)? Mines [email protected].
