That's just it..........I will never have one now because he is only gunna sell them on Ebay where they will go for way too much money. i mean its great for Oscar but sux for the little guy.

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.
-
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.
-
.....makes the baby jesus cry...
-
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 :)
-
$338!!!! WOW!!!

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.

You're welcome ;).
How did your cabinet with the translucent leafs come out? I have wondered several times.
-
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.

And now for my next product... The Translucent Push/Pull Spinner! (just kidding...)

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.

Please post it, I'd love to see it.

There may be better options in the near future... ;)
