Firing box / launch controller for sale

[HVD]

There is a very well constructed dual channel constant voltage firing box / launch controller that I constructed, which is now for sale on ebay. If any of you are interested then feel free to bid or make me an offer.

Depends.... Kinda. Is it a decent box? Do you plan to provide plans for the rest of the forum?

While I think maybe this would have been a better thread in the water cooler. Its not terrible. Beyond the fact that unless you used a fake name for E-bay I could now find out where you live. Anonymity or not?

But as has been said before: Let the M(g)ODS decide.

EDIT: It does look kinda cool though.

Wanted to say the same. He MAY have broken ... - if he sells it for a special price (no big profit) to forumites, it may be OK (guessed from NBK's comment on my question about selling the VoD- meter which is currently under development), but it would have been better to ask before!

BTW be careful HVD, you might get in trouble for helping someone commit a crime - that is why I left out a triggering relay on my device, even if it would have been easy to incorporate. I wanted it to be a *measuring instrument* - no way to abuse it for a terrorist :)

Well, I've marketed it pretty much as a rocket launcher which is exactly what it is ... i've seen estes beam controllers and working ww2 blasting units for sale before on ebay, so i figured there wouldn't be any problems.

Anonyminity ... well, I'll leave that up to you.

Forum rules being broken - it hadn't occured to me as this is in the T.T.P. forum and i thought a specialist piece of equipment, pre built, might be of value to someone here. I'll happily provide the plans, but the electronics are so simple the inherant "value" of the box comes from the very high quality construction. I posted the complete plans for my high voltage unit some time ago, along with a discussion of exactly how it worked. It should still be in the archives somewhere.

It's up to the mods, if you feel this is a bad post then of course you will remove it, but i thought it in the best interests of the forum to let people know about the item.

I have no idea what the box is "worth" ... there is no reserve price, so it'll go for whatever it goes for .

I think it's great. Anyone on here should be able to do this, if they are making it for a forum purpose and they are making it themselves.

Obviously, anyone selling information is going to get trouble, since we share that free.
Anyone reselling stuff is likely to get told off for trying to profit like that too, since they can sell to non-forum members at full price.
Selling something illegal would be very, very silly, and rightly get you banned. None of us wants a sting operation.

But this is none of the above. It is passed via a public place, in the form of ebay, so the buyer may know the sellers address, but the seller has no idea if the buyer is a forumite or one of the millions of ebayers out there, let alone which forumite.

And boy, doesn't it look cool!

Edit: I would have started a new account, though. Perhaps a little too much can be guessed from items traded recently, location info, email, paypal, etc.

I don't mind... it's for sale on ebay, not here, and it's not a commercial entity selling crap.

That seems like something that could be made cheaply and easily, but the price is pretty good (I assume AUD is about twice the price compared to UK?).

I'd buy it, but I live a walk-away from a well stocked electronics supplier (which I get a 15% discount from :) ), and I can't be bothered with paying mailing fees and all that.

None the less, it looks fairly cool. I was once a model rocket hobbyist myself, and I made one with one of thos missile-style flip cover switches (the switch was the most expensive component). :cool:

Hope you get a bid on it soon. ;)
