Auction #15 (from SawMaster) Ended

Hi, if you are wondering what this is about please see this thread

This is the bidding thread for -

One Legendary BLF Integrated Sphere made by Joshk. This item has been generously offered by SawMaster. You might note he was the luck-duck who bought 2 of these from Joshk so I don’t think he will miss this one :wink:

SawMaster was aware that some overseas members were interested in these but didn’t get a chance……HERE’S YOU CHANCE! So given the size of this thing there is a condition on shipping, I hope I make this clear enough for all. The shipping will be split 50/50 up to a limit of $80 (total) , anything over and above $80 will be paid for by the buyer. Payment may be made within 10 days of end of auction. Item shall be sent within a few days of payment and the buyers share of shipping can be paid upon receipt of the item.

If you are at all a stickler for accurate numbers then this thing is for you.

I will not set a minimum price so the first bidder may start as low as they like. I would like to think bidders are offering money to help our friend Old-Lumens, and receiving lights as a reward for their generosity.

End time for this auction shall be 12th August 23:59 UTC. Any bids posted after that time will not count. Any edited posts will not count. I will contact the winner via pm as soon as I can. Shipping as noted above.

If you have questions about these specific lights you can post here but if you have general questions please post in the other thread.

I’m in for $30.00.

To the winner:

If you’ve kept up with the Sphere thread you’re aware that one of my two boxes was somewhat crumpled in shipment while the other was ok. You’re getting the good box which I will put into another box in hopes that you get it uncrumpled. Bid often and bid high!

$40!

My wife is not going to be happy with an integrated sphere I just know that. Me on the other hand… :wink:

Bump.

A quick explanation on the shipping cost-share arrangement:

I will initially pay up to $80US to send it. Upon you receiving it, you pay me half the actual shipping costs with my share of the cost to not exceed $40US. If the initial cost exceeds $80US we will work something out. You will not have to remit the total sum at close of the auction; only the bid price, which should make it easier for those with tight budgets.

With only about a dozen of these existing at this point, none are outside of N. America :wink: And even if more batches are made, your shipping costs will never be this low again :smiley:

Phil

comment redacted. Obviously for international members. My bad…

SawMaster can clarify but i’m pretty sure it’s open to anyone. He just felt overseas members might jump on this.

Yes, open to anyone on Earth. Any others will have to pick it up here in person :smiley:

Phil

Fair enough. Comment reinstated. $45.

Im kinda interested in this item. By my own rules ‘anyone can bid’ so if everyone is ok with it I’d like to place a bid.

$60

Haha, I suspect Turningbluechips might not be ok with you bidding :stuck_out_tongue: I don’t think anyone will have a problem, after all this is about helping out O-L.

I’m surprised this doesn’t have more bids, not only do we get to help O-L but this is a great chance for those outside the US to get their hands on a LBLFIS with reasonable shipping costs. If I wasn’t dealing with medical stuff I would be all over this auction.

Sorry to hear of your own medical issues. Just the word, medical, brings headaches. I Hope for the best outcome for you.

No problem at all sir. The whole point of bidding is to be outbid by someone else. If I actually knew what my builds put out I’d have much more potential to be disappointed. As it stands I can go down to a local bar and every Cletus in the place says that’s the brightest light I’ve ever seen. Good enough for me. Hope whomever gets it enjoys it.

Thanks bluechip. That puts me as the winning bidder at the moment. Still time for others to jump in though.

Thanks O-L.

Less than 10hrs to go! This is a great kit people, all the hard work is done. Just follow the instructions to test all your lights. Easy peasy.

ENDED

Congratulations to me :partying_face:

Congratulations PP! When you recieve it I'll drop by to test some of my lights :P

For those unfamiliar with Aus, Melbourne would be close to 2000 miles from Perth!
