Now that there seems to be a GS-1200 frenzy, I just put up one of mine on ebay -- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7539392978&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

It's got a 2-blade shutter which makes it quite desirable compared to some of the others up there.

Also - note the extras that you get with buy it now... For members of the forum -- I'll add the following additional items with "Buy it now" -- a reel of trailers, a 1600ft reel, and a bunch of 400ft reels and cans... Just mention that you saw this on the forum...

And if the winner lives anywhere near Boston and wants to come get them, I've got a couple of Neumade super 8 film racks in great shape (cost $500+ each when new) that you can have as well...

Steve, Its a version 1 machine. BTW the change from 3 to 2 balde only gives you a 30% increase in light not 50% as in your ad before some other smart alec emails you through ebay.

Hey, 30% is nothing to cough at. [Smile]

What's the deal with this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6423967586&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Is there something special about this machine?, or perhaps these are shill bidders (2 of the bidders just created their accounts this week)...

Steve,

I don't know why this particular GS is getting such a high price, but I do trust the seller, our very own Robert Aragon. I hope the winning bidder doesn't stiff Robert.

HI Doug,

It's pretty bizarre - but great for Robert... I've got mine up at $999 or $1199 Buy it now (with extras included in Buy it now) and it's a 2-blade machine... Seems like someone would have snapped it up at that price.... Go figure...

These projectors remind me of the current real estate market! [Smile]

Why's that Mike? Apart from Roberts, I think that prices have dropped rather than increased lately -- they used to sell regularly for $1500 ....

Posted by Steven Sigel (Member # 21) on August 24, 2005, 12:46 PM:

Anyone have any idea why people bid Robert's GS-1200 up to $1650, but no one bought mine at $999 -- just doesnt' make sense...

i was tempted to buy yours

Hey Robert -- When you have a minute email me at sts (at) sigel (dot) net.

Posted by Kevin Faulkner (Member # 6) on September 02, 2005, 08:02 AM:

Robert, just curious to know if the buyer of your machine with 0 feedback did follow throught?

Steve did you sus why Robert's sold and yours didnt get a look in. The whole thing looked a bit bizarre watching from the outside so to speak.

Kev.

Hi Kevin,

I have no idea what happened....

I'm going to relist mine on ebay soon.. I can't fathom why no one bought it at that price...
