Author Topic: Elo touchscreens - 15" $70+shipping - Would anyone be interested? (Read 23394 times)

padstack · « **on:** June 10, 2008, 04:36:39 pm »

If I had like 8 of these available, would there be enough takers on the board? I ask b/c I'm REAL close to pulling the trigger on the 10 for $650 (shipped) on e-bay. That would basically give me $5 each profit for my time (a whole 8% margin - and considering the money I've lost on undercalculating shipping over the years, I don't think I'm exactly gonna retire to Tahiti on it... Also, I'm losing 3% in paypal fees.). I would guarantee that I would not overcharge on shipping. Once it is all set and done, I would estimate that the whole cost for something like this would cost you under $80 for the whole thing (that's considering it should be sub-$10 to ship parcel post w/ insurance for $100). The guy on e-bay that's selling them cheap wants $80+$18 shipping. Keep in mind that is DOMESTIC.

I wouldn't do the buy until I had 8 units spoken for and money in the paypal account. I know it sounds shady, but you can check out my e-bay feedback. User name is padstack1.

Also, my paypal address is confirmed. I would be willing to provide any sort of info (short of putting myself @ risk w/ SSN, etc). I can give my cell #, address, etc.

Anyway, I just noticed a high demand for these here and considering that I need a couple myself, I figured maybe we could all win. Either way, just let me know if your interested.

**Edit** - Shiping would be more in the $13 range. Sorry for the misrepresentation.

I would be interested in one, but I would need to sell my arcadeVGA and Jpac to fund it. Anyone need those?

gonzo90017 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 10, 2008, 04:55:18 pm »

I would also be interested.

If you can give me an estimate of the shipping costs for Italy, I could be interested in a couple of them, as I said in the other topic.

I am interested. Do you have a link so we can check them out?

As much as I'd like to help, I would advise against it. The calculator that I get from fed ex is over $118!

USPS is cheaper @ ~$60... Wow...

Since I would have paid international shipping plus $85 for each monitor from the original vendor, if USPS is $60 for two monitors, that would mean 100 bucks each, which is almost as much as I would've paid if I lived in the USA and bought them directly. So it's still feasible...

Can you confirm me $60 for both?

myntik1 · « **Reply #13 on:** June 11, 2008, 01:04:23 pm »

If this is going to go down in the next few days let me know. If not I may have to pass.

Lilwolf · « **Reply #14 on:** June 11, 2008, 02:03:01 pm »

I may be interested in one. But I would have to be put in the '9 or 10'. IE, don't count on it. I would love it, but it would have to clean some stuff out or my wife would go ballistic.

I actually wanted to build a photo booth for my kids and this would be perfect...

nipsmg · « **Reply #15 on:** June 11, 2008, 02:28:08 pm »

yes, absolutely.

It's possible, but that would mean everyone in this thread buying 1 except myself and doctorwho buying 2. Not likely.

Sorry. That was for 1. two would be roughly $103.

padstack · « **Reply #18 on:** June 11, 2008, 04:35:09 pm »

It looks like there is definitely some interest here. If you are seriously interested (i.e. if I said go tomorrow, you would paypal me the cash), PM me with your zip code and qty.

I would like to try to do this quick (ask my wife, it's always that way - LOL!). Here's my personal contact info:

Tim Grindstaff
2620 E Ridgewood Dr
Seven Hills, OH 44131

(you can check this with Paypal to know it's a legit account and address)

ebay feedback is for user name padstack1

IF this pans out, I would have everyone paypal me their money and then once I placed the order, I would accept the money and place the order. That way, if someone backs out and we don't have the money, I don't have to send it back and you lose 3%.

DoctorWHO - we would need to work it out so that if it either went over you would send me the difference once you got your receipt, or you would send me a little more than the shipping quote and if it went over I would use that and send back the rest. I don't want to single you out, but if I miscalculate shipping to Oklahoma, I don't mind eating a buck or two. If I screw up shipping to Italy, I don't want to eat $20.

Lilwolf · « **Reply #19 on:** June 11, 2008, 08:09:20 pm »

Well, I'm out... wife wasn't interested... It would make a GREAT table top, or what I wanted to do was build a photo booth / computer area for the kids. I thought they would love it.... oh well...

mountain · « **Reply #20 on:** June 11, 2008, 09:51:52 pm »

Count me in for one

padstack · « **Reply #21 on:** June 11, 2008, 11:20:32 pm »

Ok, Here's what we have so far:

Jeepmonkey - 1
Me - 2
DoctorWHO - 2 (pending shipping $$)
Sharidan - 1 (pending sale of his stuff)
mountain - 1
nipsmg - 1
myntik - 1 (if it goes down quickly)
gonzo90017 -1
Malenko - 1

That is 11 right there! I think I can get the seller to sell 11 instead of 10 (put up a special auction or something, I'm sure).

Here's where the rubber meets the road...

I will be pm-ing everyone that is interested my cell phone and work e-mail and paypal address so they have info on me that should make them feel secure about the cash.

Also, I think these might JUST fit in a flat rate box so that should save us a couple bucks on shipping too.

All I ask is that you reply with your address so I can make sure the shipping will be in the range I mentioned above. I will also need the money paypal'd before the end of the week if possible as well. I will not claim it until we have our 10 spoken for (ounting my 2), and each of you should have (by now) received personal info on me to make my life slightly more difficult if I tried to take the cash and dash.

If anyone is out, I will need to know. I will NOT accept paypal payments until I have enough people agreeing to run with this.

PMs on their way!

kayoteq · « **Reply #22 on:** June 12, 2008, 10:32:28 pm »

Don't need one of these right now, but I work on these things installing cash register bits
and thought I'd share this:

Here's one of those elo touchscreens in action during a major refurb I toured around doing last summer:

I forgot I had a futurama stored on my flash drive, was re-imaging the drive, so it wa safe. Maybe.

I'm always hoping for that 'dispose or recycle' touchscreen upgrade assignment.. I'd save a lot on shipping.

Sorry for the OT chatter. Back to your usual business.

padstack · « **Reply #23 on:** June 13, 2008, 02:50:15 pm »

Ok, as it stands I have PM's with addresses from 5 people. With one of them potentially wanting two screens and myself wanting 2, that gives us 8 serious buys. Not trying to be too harsh here, but if you're in, we need to know!

Thanks!

no sweat on the e-mail, man. It's not like I don't get 10 tons of spam as is! LOL!

padstack · « **Reply #27 on:** June 13, 2008, 10:19:12 pm »

Well, if DoctorWHO still wants two (hefty price tag there for shipping!), then we're to 8.

The seller currently doesn't have a 10pc lot listed right now anyway, but I know he has the qty (he listed a lot of 100 not that long ago).

Malenko - not sure what's up, but for some reason your money was automatically accepted. Is that because we're both verified on paypal?

If it falls through, I'll make up the difference.

nipsmg sent money, but it's still considered unclaimed. anyone know what would cause that?

BTW, here are the list of people who have joined (at least sent their zip for shipping quote):

malenko (paid)
nipsmg (paid)
DoctorWHO (might have to back out due to shipping costs)
JeepMonkey
Sharidan
padstack (x2)

So no pressure to anyone, but this is looking to be 7 or 8 at this time.

Mountain, gonzo90017, & myntik - you guys still in? You three would most likely put us to the mark. If we can get close I can probably find a creative way to get rid of the last one. We need at least 9 confirmed though (counting my two).

moloch · « **Reply #28 on:** June 14, 2008, 12:46:12 am »

Just saw this. I am in for one.

Franco B · « **Reply #29 on:** June 14, 2008, 05:31:02 am »

I could be interested in one. Could you find out how much shipping would be to the UK please?

Could you also find out how much shipping would be for two, I'll try to find someone who wants one and share the shipping costs if its worth it.

Thank you

padstack · « **Reply #30 on:** June 14, 2008, 01:09:48 pm »

OK. Now ad Moloch and Mountain to the mix (mountain maybe two)

Here's how it shakes out:

malenko (paid)
nipsmg (paid)
DoctorWHO (might have to back out due to shipping costs)
JeepMonkey
Sharidan
padstack (x2)
Moloch
Mountain (x2 MAYBE)
Franco B (pending his acceptance of a shipping bill like the Doctor's.

Franco - the shipping would be roughly $65 for one and $105 for two. None of that counts duties or anything like that. I have no clue how to figure it out.

Ok, not trying to force anyone out b/c I don't see why we can't help as many people as possible, but if I take two and Mountain takes 2, we would need either one more from the international folks or need to move one more domestically.

We're REAL close! One more and then it's time to collect the money (with the exception of the two that are already paid up). Who's in?

DoctorWHO · « **Reply #31 on:** June 14, 2008, 01:36:09 pm »

Padstack: I'm in at least for one, but since my wife forgot to recharge my rechargeable credit card, I'll have to wait til monday morning to paypal $$ to you. I'll let you know if I take the second one too... (hope never dies)

padstack · « **Reply #32 on:** June 14, 2008, 03:23:26 pm »

Alright! With the doctor's confirmation of 1, we should be in (If, in fact Mountain you really want 2).

Otherwise, we need 1 more. Once I get a confirmation on 10, I'll post again asking everyone to paypal in. Hopefully we can get this rolling on Monday.

I'm stoked!

Alright! Mountain could only take one, so this would be 10!

PM is on the way. Monday evening this should go down (I've got some crazy work stuff during the day, but I should be home around 5 or so to do the deed). I'll post on here w/ the info!

squirrellydw · « **Reply #36 on:** June 15, 2008, 11:58:48 am »

Can you get 1 more?

frytex · « **Reply #37 on:** June 15, 2008, 08:18:37 pm »

I was wondering if you ever bought these monitors and if so do you have any more I am very interested in one let me know at frytex@msn.com

padstack · « **Reply #38 on:** June 15, 2008, 09:12:02 pm »

OK. Everyone should have gotten their PM's with shipping except the last two (frytex & squirrelydw). It's time to start paypal'ing the cash. WHen everyone's money is in, I'll make the purchase. (I believe I already have money from 3).

Let's see who's really serious!
