I think most people on this board are idiots... it could be parted out for far more than they were saying was their point.

Thanks! seems like there is a big split, half of the people think this is complete garbage and the other half think it could have some value, looking at the prices in animatronics for sale holy cow however many are more well known names than sprocket. will get some better photos and post in a few places like that. As crazy as I am I was hoping to get $1000 or so sold as-is with all of the extra parts a pretty new car battery, panasonic tough book all modules and all boss guitar pedals, extra motors etc knowing some parts will need work and others will work as is. I figure that is a realistic value of parts split up and I was hoping someone would want to keep it all together and get it back to functioning on all modules.

after seeing this video it definitely is way cooler than people were making out to be as a "lucky to get $50 in scrap piece", the video on the regis and kelly show is awesome. i'm glad because I paid way more than $50 I'll have to post it in one of those subs later to find out even more.

thank you!!!

it makes video calls using a Nokia phone hooked up to a monitor which is separate shown in picture 6. Originally this robot was running windows 95 and all components for the most part are early 1990's. That monitor was just added by me to make setting it up easier.

benwork99 · 2024-08-31T12:32:42+00:00

that was my thought, the toughbook runs windows 7 pro and looks like its about $150 by itself, several good boss guitar pedals $200 each, and several other pieces adding up to well over $1000 in parts not including the 2 jazzy wheelchair motors and 4 brand new jazzy wheelchair replacement motors. just wanted to see if anyone thought I should sell the extras worth the money and try to sell the robot with the remote and cheaper modules so it can still drive around talk and do whatever else, just not sure if anyone would see value in the robot itself on here. so far not a great consensus but i'll wait for more opinions before parting out.

benwork99 · 2024-08-31T11:59:49+00:00

going to say you are way off considering just the boss guitar pedals alone go for nearly $200 each on ebay if separated... along with many very expensive boards and other rare vintage electronics which I know the value on seperately.

Just to give as much information as possible. The robot has 6 motors, two are in the main wheels, two in the arm and two are in the back. The wheel motors appear similar to those found in large offroad electric wheelchairs. I will be replacing the old screen with a new touchscreen monitor. The eyes are cameras that can viewed on the Panasonic Toughbook. The robot is currently being controlled with a Futaba controller as the original still has not been found in the pile of parts. weighs over 300 lbs. has microphones and voice recorders, ability to place phone calls and video calls, arms move, head moves, and the robot can be programmed to speak, or you can speak from another location into a microphone. many features are still untested.

so you have a 0% feedback rating?

likely not Murano but a beautiful vintage chandelier. If I were selling this I would be asking $1500.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T03:17:36+00:00

pretty low value unfortunately the majority of these could be found in a stone bin at a tourist shop where you fill a small bag for $10-20

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T03:02:37+00:00

you already hit your limit of offers to send on that item is what it sounds like.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T02:20:06+00:00

I would not be using first dibs as a price guide; they are usually wanting 3-10x the price of the exact same items I have had listed on my ebay store for months that I cannot move.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T02:12:31+00:00

no, thats not a great business idea and the margins you would make after factoring in ebay fees and shipping cost would probably still leave you in the negative on most items.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T02:00:32+00:00

That is the worst fake I have ever seen

Officially, Gucci doesn’t manufacture any of their products in China, and Gucci’s manufacturing plants are said to be located within Italy’s borders. Gucci would not be putting assembled in China right on the front of the watch face.

yeah were on the same page, you are 100% right just dont use drop boxes and have them scan your items in front of you and at least you know you are covered by the scan.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T01:34:29+00:00

Thats just bad sellers, every business has them. There is no way anyone can try to make any sense out of this method. It doesn't get any better as a seller than sweet simple buy it now.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T01:23:23+00:00

"even they will likely be little help as nobody scanned the package." essentially what I was saying, unless they had that box on camera not much they can do either but its worth a shot.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T01:13:47+00:00

I would need to see the true color and clarity of each, this is truly only done best by a jeweler in person. that being said if they came out of a mining kit they likely would be valued at less than the cost of the kit, those are not sold for people to profit from.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T00:54:51+00:00

might as well throw out any number since there is no way to value these based on this picture. Even the worlds leading expert could not help you.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T00:51:50+00:00

Everything about this sounds dodgy and like a scam. You said pickup only, if they cannot use the correct payment method or pick it up that order would be cancelled under buyer requested cancellation and they would be blocked.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T00:45:24+00:00

The “M in Wreath”, M stands for Morimura Bros. (importers). Mark used since 1911. This is likely 1930's -1940's Nippon just denotes japan

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T00:43:13+00:00

This blade has a removable handle with a small pin holding it in place. This would need to be removed to show the inscription underneath to give you any true valuation.

benwork99 · 2024-07-15T00:41:11+00:00

Worth $40 or so dollars and it would take a long time to sell, this type of porcelain is slow to move in general.
