HOW the HELL did that happen? Doesn't he sell them with a buyout?

Sheeshus.

I thought 100$ for my spinner was high (or 80 or what not...)

I couldn't believe it went that high... He didn't have a buy now option on it...guess because he said he only found a couple that he didn't know he had.

JODY · « **Reply #6 on:** February 11, 2006, 07:46:01 pm »

With that kind of price plus what a Star Wars yoke goes for and new SNK rotaries, etc. maybe I should sell my collection and retire...

Its obvious he is not going to put a buy it now option on the push pull spinners. He only has a few left so he knows they will go for alot of benjamins. BUT, yes I am thinking of myself here, it does not allow other people to purchase them. 400 for a spinner is nuts. My wife would divorce me. Figures discs of tron was one of my favorite games and now I will never be able to play it like in the arcade. Oscar if you are reading please sell me one for what you were selling them for

PLEASE. pm me.

He only has one more. My guess is that there will never be any more. I bought one in B/S/T for $135 last year including the mousehack and knob. That is looking like a really good deal now.

I was the $333 bidder... no joke. My tax return was going to that one! Heh... guess I need to figure out how to make my own now.

My wife said that I need to start making spinners

Just don't do it planning to sell them for $300+ because if they did that for long every Tom & Joe including myself would be making them...

You're welcome

. Didn't that seem like a lot of money at the time? I paid $135 (including shipping) for it all when I got it from Oscar (Kelsey) and it seemed like a lot of money. Then I didn't get it in a cabinet and it seemed like everyone wanted one, so I sold it for what I paid. When I sold it, $135 (plus shipping) still seemed like a lot of money.

Here's the problem, that market is very small. Sure, there will be a few people that buy them, but then Oscar is stuck with the remaining inventory for a long time.

How did your cabinet with the translucent leafs come out? I have wondered several times.

Zakk · « **Reply #16 on:** February 12, 2006, 01:40:57 pm »

What kills me is that when we were selling them, the push/pull sales were so weak it was almost a no brainer when he decised to pull the plug on them. I think I only sold 2 or 3 in Canada. Now the vortex V2...that looked like it was going to be a big hit.

I just used my last vortex on the cocktail I just built. I hate to think that I'll be building future cabinets with slickstick stuff. :sigh: Ah well, whatcha gonna do?

Another major "gizmo" maker will probably be releasing a spinner sooner than later.

It's a mini cab and it's going to be very cool. I should put it in the project announcements so I can more suggestions for the sides. The size and complexity of my ideas don't correspond to my available free time.

There's always the Cyclone, which is what I think I'll be using for my next spinner project.

Cheers.
