Re: FS: Collection HUGE PRICE DROPS
Sorry for the delay ~
I asked the lady at the post office to have it insured for $200 and I was told that was fine. If it's not covering the full value I'll take it out of pocket if it doesn't arrive/arrives busted :/
"The more you know" I guess...
I appreciate the reply and thanks for the kind gesture :gj:
I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that though, it would be such a shame to lose a laser like this, especially one as well travelled as this particular Rigel. I won't start worrying proper until the end of next week and if it gets towards a month with no sign we'll have to start thinking the worst. Long way off yet...
I do have a question though, more a curiosity if anything else-
you mentioned in your
review thread for the Rigel that you bought it off "eytyxhs" 2 months prior.
Sure enough, I found his FS
thread here, although it's a fair bit more than 2 months prior to your review thread.
During the thread it appears he had a lot of PMs regarding the Rigel (I'm unsurprised, these things seem to disappear very quickly) and all in all the sale was done in a very hush hush manner. The thing that makes me curious is this- you did not make an appearance in the thread but it would appear a member "tonyt" was making all kinds of posts towards the end of the thread that indicates he bought both lasers? Now, I know he was a shady character and ended up banned - but I'm curious as to what went on there? Did tonyt indeed acquire both lasers and sell one back to you, or was he talking out of his hat? :thinking:
It's a mystery for sure - one I am interested to solve as it will probably help me complete the "history" of this laser, which I have as follows:-
-Sent from CNI to LaserGlow and rebranded as a Rigel-5
-Purchased by eytyxhs in 2011
-sent to Lazeerer to be polished
-Sold in 2013 possibly to yourself (or someone else, then onto you)
-Sent to Lazeerer to be polished
-Sold to me February 2014
That's one well travelled laser
and it'd be good to clarify that last little part of its history.
