I mentioned in my Roboteq thread that I've got a couple of Magmotors for sale so I though I'd post a separate thread for them. For more in depth details of me and why I'm selling please check the Roboteq thread http://www.fightingrobots.co.uk/thre...new-newer-used

I've already gotten a few PMs and emails with low ball offers but they are generally a bit to low for me to accept straight away. Also, it's hard for me to keep track of the various negotiations but I thought I'd make a public post with my lowest acceptable prices:

1 Magmotor S28-400 £200 plus £35 shipping (total £235)
2 Magmotors S28-400 £390 plus £50 shipping (total £440)

1 roboteq: £ 150 plus £35 shipping (total £185)
2 roboteqs: £ 290 plus £50 shipping (total £340)

Any combination of Magmotors and Roboteqs I will end up with
1 Roboteq + 1 Mag = £150 + £200 + £50 shipping less £15 rebate (total £385)
1 Roboteq + 2 Mag = £150 + £400 + £60 shipping less £35 rebate (total £575)
2 Roboteq + 2 Mag = £300 + £400 + £60 shipping less £60 rebate (total £700)

OBS! I'm heading of to a Wedding later today so any communication will be maintained at Sunday afternoon or on monday.
I will track the incoming date of all messages though and the first one to commit will get the stuff.

OBS No.2 The magmotors are mint conditions and basically only tested except for one detail, the main shafts are cut to a length slightly shorter than the original specs. The original shafts are relatively long and I had to cut them by about 1 or 2 cm to make them fit my design. I will be able produce the exact measures after the wedding I mention above.

I'm aware the magmotors are as good as new but the price your asking comes very close to a brand new unused one without any of the benefits. 400usd (for a new one) equals 236pounds.

I often buy and sell secondhand materials and items and you'll be lucky to get 70% of the value of a new one.
Perhaps someone here is willing to pay close to your price but in my opinion your overcharging.

No offence but you should be realistic.

Wasn't going to raise this in public, but seeing as it's already out here now ..... funnily enough, that's basically that same conversation that I've had via email as I was asking what he would accept and it seemed steep.

For me to pick one up in the US (or for someone else, I've regularly picked items up for Roboteers from The Robot Marketplace)... the cost of them new from Robotmarketplace would be $798 for the motors, $28.06 delivery, so a total of $826 which works out at £495.

I'm sorry Marten, but as I said via PM, I'm not sure that I'd buy the previous generation (S28-400 vs the newer A28-400), which isn't anywhere near as ruggedised, and with a cut-down shaft for a saving of under £50 a motor.

Really don't think £390 is a fair ask, I'm still interested if you'd consider a lower price.
