TASC alert

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tasc-R30-v2-5 ... 8471523%26

First one I've seen on ebay for some time. Ships only to Europe at this
time. By the time I get an answer it will be gone for sure...
that's life regards,
Larry

Missing the box for the R30 Unit and one grey velvet pouch
Seems like a slightly high "Buy Now" price but not nearly as outlandish and the EAG's are selling for these days

$2000 is pretty much the price of the Tasc when first released for sale..while the EAG's are raking in 3x-4x multiples of their original selling price regardless if they are even working
not to mention the Wooden Novags ..which it seems cant be given away


High End Of Reasonable Regards

Plus $250 shipping to Australia....ouch!...this does include insurance.
My reservations about these things is their age and the likelyhood
of a breakdown. With piece recognition it only takes a problem with
any one of the 32 pieces and the machine is unplayable. If the price
is right I will go ahead with it, but as you say, this one is not a bargain
price. I,m guessing it will be gone tomorrow anyway.
Flipping a coin regards...
