I'm dizzy... Now that's a lot of LED machines... probably the most I've ever seen in one place.
Bravo!

That's just a wee bit out of my budget I'm afraid.

I salute the seller and am impressed by the dedication involved in amassing those beauties.
My wife would either divorce or institutionalize me (or perhaps both).

My wife’s reaction was: “Why is he selling it?”

The price is more than good. Unfortuantelly there is no list of the goods: redDots, HP-01, Protos, ....
If I had the time to resell the stuff individually I would buy it now.

I'm hoping the shipping price is a mistake.
$ 20,500.00 for shipping seems a little high to me, LOL.

No mistake: whole collection valued @ $40,800.
Quote:Although not my intent, if someone did want to buy my entire collection at the price of $40,800, they would be required to pick it up at my house. The large shipping price shown was required because of the limit eBay set on how much I can list for sale at one time.

Wow, is right! Interesting that he's in Arkansas and a Purdue grad (diploma on wall). We should know who the repair person is, that has such an extensive collection. Clearly he's been collecting, repairing and reselling for some time.

I saw that listing looking at finding a 38C and/or a 38E. And was amazed at the history
and patience presented there. And to other part of this thread: My wife would not be
asking why it was being sold, she'd be wanting me to either 1. make space for her next
passion or 2. get it moved before she has to sell for what she thinks its worth.

Just for the two beautiful HP-01, the seller suggests a price of $5000-6000.
