Nothing ventured..........

[J-sews]

Hmmmm, tempting offer. How little are you prepared to pay for one?

[DaveK]

Oh, I could go pretty low if needed. I'm not messing about 

[DaveK]

Nobody got a Genus they want rid of then?

Cash or trade considered!

[MultiMat]

I currently have 2 Genus's .......










I am giving my old man one for his birthday next week 
I nabbed one for $56us I was pretty happy with that for a new one in its clam shell 
It is the only MT that my dad has shone any interest in 

If you hang in there Dave You should be able to get one for around $50  not sure if that is low enough     though  

[DaveK]

There's no way I'm going to get one at that price without help. Hence the thread

[J-sews]

Shall I nab one off eBay for you Dave? I could send it along with the (soon to be) upcoming pink micra...?

[MultiMat]

I am happy to be the 'middle Mat' in project Genus for you mate  .

I thought you had worked out a way of getting US based MT's too you  , is that non Ebay MT sellers you use Dave 

[DaveK]

That would be great Bob - I'll PM you with my available funds

@Mat - you are dead right, I can acquire BIN items from US ebay, but it's an expensive option. The sort of thing I'd consider for a rarity, but it would probably cost me something similar to UK RRP to get a commonly available tool like the Genus here to me as it involves paying a handling fee for the purchase and payment, plus courier delivery to the UK (DHL).

So, on a single easy to find item it doesn't really make sense. If a Camo Juice or something popped up though, that might be viable

[MultiMat]

Dave if I spot a similar deal that I got my ones for I will zap it over too Bob 

They are QUALITY KIT aren't they .

WTF 

Hell Dave this is a unacceptable situation that needs righting  , it is one of Bob's favorite LM's  too  .
They are very very cool , a bit big for my hands but they OOZE quality. Very nice MT 
FFFing expensive in Oz, would you believe 

[DaveK]

They ain't cheap over here either - that's why I haven't got one!

That German Amazon offer looks too good to be true 

Ich muss von einem von unserem auf Deutschland basierte Freunde helfen!!

If the translation is crap - don't blame me, blame www.freetranslation.com

[cerbera147]

"I must of one of our friends been based on Germany help!!"   

I think Woz is in Austria, might be beneficial 

[J-sews]

Hey hey hey, maybe this terrible wrong will be righted rather quickly eh? If the German deal doesn't work out Dave, just say the word and Mat and I will hook you up. (might be a good idea to recruit Dennis into the effort as well, as his Magic Bidding Powers oftentimes result in Ebay deals of epic proportions!)



Hmmm, on a side note, I'm thinking this situation calls for a group effort Limerick. I'll go first:

"There once was a Dave with no Genus...."



 

[DaveK]

... who always wanted to go to Venus .......

[DaveK]

There once was a Dave with no Genus,
Who always wanted to go to Venus,
But it ended in harmony,
When he found one in Germany,
How's that for a bit of Brit genius?



Can a mod put "found" in the thread title or something - ta

[cerbera147]

Congrats, and nice work on the limerick too I tried a few more lines the other day, but couldn't get anything to work out, so I gave up without posting. (I'm not a poet and I know it)

[DaveK]

It was hard to do actually Bob, without making reference to my huge........  Genus. Yes, that's it
