Topic: 24v speed controller: ebay

[minidaz]

Is this what your running Marty, and are they fairly straight forward to fit ?

Anyone here having a sneaky bid ?

[radiomarty]

Yes bud - that's the kit on Goldfinger - easy enough to fit - good luck with the bidding..

[minidaz]

I'll have to keep an eye on it and see how high it goes ... what would you say is a sensible price ?

[radiomarty]

I think new for the controller and twist grip only is around £120

[marra]

I was just going in with what r,marty has said. for 120 you also get the heat sink base as I cannot see one on the ebay, also with  new you do get a good customer service with the torrens at 4qd. Not saying anything wrong with buying used controllers, but at close to £70 now with postage ( and could go up more ) I know where I would be buying.

I think i would be going for a new one at that price, they are only down the road in Cambridge and have excellent customer service should you have any problems or need advice.

Having said that someone will end up paying more for this used one than a new one ..........

I recently sold an item ( hardly used but still 2nd hand ) on ebay for £1 more than you could buy it brand new .... and i'd even mentioned the place you could buy it brand new in my auction ad 

I can see this auction, still with 5 days to go, getting close to, or even in to, 3 figures.

Might have to look in to getting a new unit instead 

[marra]

A sensible way, I rather buy a new unit also. I have had a few from 4QD and all been perfect and in good time and for reasonable money.

I am using the uni8 (new - £130 inc delivery) for my 24v conversion.

 THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN - Its gone down .

Bids are being withdrawn       (Been reading the forum    )
 
Still might be a bargain for someone after all 

[minidaz]

Well i was thinking of having a bid on these as the price didn't seem too bad .... and then i forgot about the auction ending 
Oh well, time to go for the saving up, buy new option instead

  There was no heatsink base on it, would have been difficult to mount and for heat dissipation . you bets buying new for under 120 for the full kit delivered.
