I see over at RCG that one of the T9 supplied Taranis has been delivered to a UK buyer, so Rob standby and bolt down the server for in the immortal words of 617 squadron's motto...

Looks like we are due for a deluge of Taranis transmitters for sale on Ebay. Here is one with a couple of X8R receivers for sale ---> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-New-Frs ... 4ac6f56a9e

Re: Scramble Scramble - here they come!
You win the unofficial prize flaps30 for finding the first eBay add. I posted a week or two ago where I wondered how long it would take. I was hoping I was kidding at the time.
Re: Scramble Scramble - here they come!
Well, I don't expect a "deluge" of eBay Taranis offerings because there are so few that have actually been delivered. There are always the odd few trying to turn a buck/quid and if they find a buyer then there are two happy folk.

Re: Scramble Scramble - here they come!
I make the current eBay bid price at $275 USD. I've think I've got that in my Taranis with tax and shipping and a spare x8r rec myself. To make any real profit it'll have to go for much more. I wish him luck being I'm not sure it has a warranty without a centerfield sellers receipt? Only 3 selling it so far.

Cheers Showmaster.
When I grow up I would like to be a headline writer for some local rag.. So it's perfectly fine to hype things up a bit or create a feeding frenzy. Deluge stays in.G550Ted wrote:Well, I don't expect a "deluge" of eBay Taranis offerings because there are so few that have actually been delivered.

Flaps,
To help you in your future career as a tabloid author I suggest you don't restrain your prose. Flush out your offerings with redundant superlatives such as "inundate", "overwhelm", "total domination", "completely destroy", and so forth. Suggested new eBay advert descriptor would then start to read something like:
Highly anticipated and open sourced developed system destined to overwhelm all other manufactures and totally dominate the future of RC. Act now before the anticipated crushing demand for this paradigm shifting, legacy manufacturer destroying radio escalates prices to astronomical levels. With technology that is the best on the planet... blah, blah
Just tryin' to help.

Wow, after reading that I have the urge to get on another pre buy list. Powerful writing.
