//start rant//
Have about 8 letters out to sellers making inquiries about buying their friggen projectors and no one writes back. I asked one clueless Craigslist whack if his projector was still for sale. He writes back just "Yes it is." So just a half hour after he sends this I have to write him back to ask for a contact number and he hasn't responded in 36 hours. And then there's the two G70 sellers one of whose "auctions" are either almost up or cant sell their boxes at all who won't write me back. Its ridonculous.

// end rant//

Feels better. : )

Not everyone is as "versed" as some of us here when it comes to being connected to everything all the time!

...some are actually living at 1990s standards when it comes to technology!

Good luck on your purchases...

Then there's always that same guy on Videogon who wants $4,000 for a Dwin HD 700 just like mine but without the 75 ohm video mod and default non-color corrected lenses. Or that one dude who wanted $15,000 for the Runco equivalent of a Barco 1209/s! I don't know which one's funnier.

...this is the beauty of living in a capitalistic society.

you can ask ridiculous amounts for anything/something that is not worth anywhere near the sellers asking price!

It was probably a Runco 1100/1200

It was a Runco 1101, just like the one Steven Tyler used to own. Even if it actually was Tyler's, it'd still not be worth $15,000!

Haha. This is great! After two years of trying to sell his Dwin HD 700 for $4,000. He's finally come to a reasonable price for it, $3,700!

Let me see if I understand this one!


....Just because Steven Tyler put his "unnaturally" big lips on this PJ then the it worth 10Ks more that one that is in perfect shape and usually goes for no more than 5Ks in perfect shape with the orginal box and all?

What a great celebrity society we live in!!!

I didn't know that Mt Tyler knew how to use any tech. (...other than a microphone of course!!!! LOL:)

It was sold on Ebay a few years ago:

Then someone else tried selling a Runco 1101 for even more! I made a thread about it a few months ago and could only conclude the guy who bought it was no longer a fan, and tried to get back his investment.

yeah that kind of a non sense hysteria (...for lack of a better word!) is contagious.

...like a virus...but only "folks" with a "weak" brain, (that's "higher brain function deficiency") get it! ...and can only transmit it to someone with the same type of affliction!!! LOL
