BTW, existotem and techood are the same company. I just found that out when I opened a dispute on existotem and Robinson from techood answered me. I couldn't tell you why they have different prices, but they are the same company.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit. Sometimes you need a play book just to keep track of all the players.

I know we can get them under $20 if we do a GB and I would be good for at least (5) myself. How much under $20 who knows? The cheapest I have purchased the sleds were at $16. I have offered techhood $23 for a single sled and the offer was accepted so I'm guessing that's close to bottom dollar for singles.

Hi,
They will down more with multiple units purchased on some items . iv'e done it and some great buys to there not to bad with some stuff. I purchased quite a few sleds and diodes from them. You might have to wait a bit ,but you save a lot of cash in the long run.

Hi RB,
Thank you, Tearing down these sleds are great i did about 5 so far plus this one and have 2 sleds . It seems working for it gives some self satisfaction and achievement . iIhave a lot of hosts so it's going to be tuff to decide. It will be raining here a lot today so i'll have time to set the driver and build one. I'll be using a X Boost for the build, i have some nano drivers but have to see how to set the ranges on them never used them before . Maybe a Sinner full CU Magic Pen i have a few of those and they look great when i throw them on the polishing wheel with some rouge and buff them.
