(as in XCUBE)
Is ANYONE reading my posts about new ebayer 'Alan' aka blab1391(at EEKBAY)
I can understand my first two wins.. myb but the time was up on the second item-I had to bid..
Not that many were interested to act quickly--OPtics are, after all, not items that every LPF members use, seek, whatever..
So I put links out there--no excuses for everybody ignoring me.N/P
I do not know what else I can do.. Alan is a delightful person.. polite- helpful and w/ pretty good English. All I can think is that fate brought us ALL together.. It seems like optics.. XCubes specifically.. where meant to be somehow something I wanted-needed AT. and was willing to put time into all this--
Started with thinking about dual 44s and read that the high powers of these blue diodes meant any optics involved HAD to be able to withstand that 'kind' of power.. I was then reminded that I had two such PBS cubes already in my possession even tho 5 years had passed and NOW these cubes from 5 years ago would be needed...
AFAIK-- we had no clue that 7W diodes would some day be a reality.. I/we were lucky as the seller from 5 years ago had some leftover from that GB..AND was willing to part w/ a few-and I knew others were working on Dual 44 projects. So a chance to help others and myself- (sold out btw)
They were already wanted so selling then was very easy.
I had cubes on the brain.. did lots of reading ( I am sooo behind on optics)
did a search w/ cheapest/lowest shipping and SHAZAM!! the top listing was an 18X 18x18 with open bid start of one cent(wow the guy is SO new lol)
RGB 'X-cube' with zero bids --auctions for these is extremely rare- most are BIN/ w/ or w/o make offer and few with free ship.. so naturally I went to see what else this new seller had FS..These cubes were ATM the only listings they had.. brand new sellers..
I won their second auction w/o ANY competitors.. thus-- ONE CENT THEN SIX--wow
I did not expect to actually get it... the first one....passed experience in such wins, for me, nearly always ended up with me getting a refund- or empty box OR 'out of stock' most ANYTHING except getting the item ..AND .. being partly an a55hole-- I responded somewhat rudely to the instant messg from Alan THANKING me.. I just had to ask Alan about this and short version--his father had told him to treat ALL regardless of any profit with respect..
wow== that is rare. MY defective cube (title had 'Very Slight') was on the way--TRACKING number sent same day as the 'win'-- rare also.
What?== my first feeling was that Alan, being new, meant very slight defects--which was wrong-- Alan lives in Henan near Beijing and is where a big majority of most optics are made... Alan 'I think all defective cubes on eekbay are from here. I can get many sizes and grades)--ahaaa.. Very slight(hence forth to be called/designated as V.S.) is a grade and no typo... duh! on me!
THe one cent cube arrived faster than any other buy from there EVER!
triple boxed... and to my great surprise ALAN SENT ME THE FINEST DEFECTIVE CUBE ..ever.
I would have called it 'near-perfect' .. I put something about this at LPF.. Alan had already listed cube #2.. PUT more info out.. I truly wanted one of my MANY friends to win- BUT also wanted to open for Alan--used ebay (not my beloved Auction Sniper) max bidding - IIRC 99 cents.. BUT once again nobody else must have wanted one.. endened with a high bid of six cents. That V.S. cube will be here in just afew more days-- I will then do some crude tests ... lots of pics.. and w/ two X-cubes from Alan and see if there is a big diff.. I have 5 or 6 other cubes to also test at the same time..
Alan asked ME 'what else can I list for you and LPF?? wow what a nice person Alan is..
I quickly replied YES YES!! more Xcubes in more sizes and grades of defect- 'lot' listing of 5 or 10 pcs as well as combos of 5 sizes/pieces AND listing of cubes less than V.S. --I mean so cheap-- we will use them as gifts for our buyers and friends ..and have great times w/ the better grades.. I mention that aside from CUBES other optics are in demand-I mentioned 'PRISM PAIRS' (?)
and a few others (keep in mind that I am pretty much in the dark when it comes to most optics) the very NEXT day --alan has gone to the optics store-- got some prisms and also listed them at auction--one cent to OPEN.. AND I put that out here TOO> about them ALAN'S lady and ebay partner list about 65 items NOT related at ALL>
so scroll past them
