Anybody want Brand New Cybikos? First batch all gone

[TheAncientOne]

A local wholesaler is clearing a job lot of brand new Cybikos.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybiko

I have to buy them by the box, so if anyone is interested, say as a wireless synth controller, then they will be about 10 Euro a pair,  18 Euro for 4, carriage at cost.

I have only a short time to get them, so if anyone is interested, let me know ASAP. I'm getting one batch tomorrow, and will get some more if people on the group want them.

First Batch all gone

If anyone is still interested, the supplier has a few more left

18 Euro?  I'll take four...  (I almost hate to ask how much shipping will be though...)

EDIT: P.S.  Which version are they?  (Classic? Xtreme?)

Good point - I think they are classics

I'll know later today

[/tilted/]

I'm in for 2.

Of course, I have no idea what this thing is, but I want one if they're 18 euros!!

... if I didn't get it wrong, for €18 you'll get 4. For your two you'll pay €10 together.

Correct!

See? I don't even read this stuff any more! I just say "yes"!

(I think I have a problem)

[TheAncientOne]

I knew I shouldn't have handled those chips from Wilda without gloves. I've got bulk buyer syndrome!

Now the proud, (temporary, I hope), owner of a pile of Cybikos.

They are Cybiko Classic, mk 2, (they use the <ESC> key for on/off).

They are not that light; I can post 2 in 1 bubble envelope. That keeps the cost within the Royal Mail maximum size, and keeps us out of the clutches of Parcelforce or Fedex.

Looks like packing & carriage to europe, airmail, will be about 11.50 Euro/pair. Thinking on the bright side, even with the PayPal percentage, they will run to less than 12 Euro each, delivered. Surface mail makes about one euro difference, (cheaper).

He did have some Xtreme models, but he wanted 4 times the price for them  :(

Plese memo me your PayPal details, and delivery addresses. If you are a non-european destination, I can post them first, then Paypal you. For Doug, or anyone else in the 'states, on a batch of four, it might be worth unpacking them and sending them without the main box etc, I'll weigh the one I'm testing and get back on that.

Found a resource with some hardware hacks and remote control ideas - which is partly what I wanted mine for anyway, (wireless domestic remote control unit). This guy is good, and has quite a few resources, including the SDK

Hi TheProf - I'll take 4 please.

Thanks,

James

[ilmenator]

They arrived in Norway yesterday - thanks a lot!

After an extended Pinball session, one of them gave up already - after the reset, I got a message that the Flash was going to be restored, but now it just hangs after the OS version screen. I guess I'll have to look at those Wiki pages  ;D.

Best regards, ilmenator

If it proves impervious to restarts, send it back and I'll send over one of the spares I've kept, (just the unit).

By the way, if anyone else is interested, I have 7 left.

[DrBunsen]

LOL @ stryd

Just breathe, brother.  I feel your pain  ;D

<Angelic Prof whispers in Stryd's ear> "packing & carriage to Australia about Au$34"

<Advocatus Diaboli Prof replies>"Will probably operate this Velleman Relay card

Hi Prof,

I did the complete UK classic factory reset, see here. Now it's working again!

I noticed that I can't use the power supplies because the wall plug part cannot really be modified, and of course they are the UK model. If you kept them, the rest is a little over 215g I think (Cybiko and serial cable). If that reduced shipping costs, I'd take another pair. Oh, and are there other colors than neon yellow in your collection?  :)

Thanks a lot, ilmenator

[TheAncientOne]

I think I have Purple and Clear left, I only had a few blue. Sorry I didn't realise I sent two the same colour.

Shall I cut the leads off the power units, so that you have the plug part, or can you just buy a suitable one locally?

Let me know and I'll post them off.

[Doug Wellington]

Ah, I should have asked what colors you had...  What colors did you package up for me?

[TheAncientOne]

I think I sent 1 yellow, 1 clear, and 2 purple. Though the last 2 could be the other way around.

Thought it might be easier to tell them apart.

Only had 4 blue to start with.

The guy might have a few more. He had some a few Cybiko Xtremes too, but at 4 times the price.

[Doug Wellington]

That'll work...  Thanks...
