Title: 4 Betson's-- 100$ shipped...any interest?
Post by: menace on November 04, 2007, 12:18:33 pm
I seem to have alot of trackballs so I thought I would try bulk deals.  So this is for north america only and works out to about 25$ per ball including shipping--any interest?

WhereTF are you getting these things ?

I know of two stable sources in our region (and still have lots left from my last buy) ... but I'm beginning to think that you have gained access to the rumoured "mythical trailer of old cabs and parts" that I have heard speak of (and you dismissed when we spoke a few auctions ago) ... are you and that brother of yours shutting the rest of us out ?  ???

Oh ... and bump for a great guy (depending on my investigations into the above  :P) and a great deal.

 ;)

BTW -- menace -- know anybody who can fix an MTC9000 ?  :P

Sorry, menace ...

I didn't expect to bring out the "I have lots of trackballs" guys into your B/S/T thread, but I can see how it happened (I was making light of the mythical trailer that I have heard about and, I believe, that you have seen). I'll have to buy you a coffee or meal at the next auction (as I understand it, the coffee shop across the street has been turned into a restaurant).

Mea culpa.

No Worries cheffo--I thank you for the kudos!  Lets just say my source is an ancient chinese secret --but since neither me or my source is in fact chinese that isn't entirely accurate  :laugh2:  I'm actually getting them from a number of places since any one source around here seems to be limited. 

As far as these other guys that "know a guy" thats all well and fine since we all "know a guy" but until they have been cleaned, refurbished and tested they are just vapourware... :cheers:

Have you talked to grau about your mtc9000?  His monitor-fu far exceeds my own  :notworthy:
