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

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

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 ..........  :o

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  :o

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  :)

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.

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  ;D
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.
