Title: Wat Tambor Obi TPM with CF for Auction 1st of 3 available.
Post by: Acerocket on March 13, 2012, 10:43:18 AM
Now that the 30 run sabers have been shipped and received, I can now release the last three sabers I was holding for replacement of any sabers lost or overly damaged during shipment.  These three sabers will be the last of the run and are fully installed just like all the run sabers.

The three auctions will run at the same time with ending times 24 hours apart. 

This thread is for Auction Saber One.

Please note.  The saber pictured above is form the original run sabers.  This particular saber being auctioned is currently at the installer being worked on and I expect delivery to me before the end of this month. 

This saber is #36 from the run.
This saber has lighted faux LED bezels and lighted purple hemi.
This saber will come with the black plastic case, extra pommel cap with sound holes, stand, and charger.
This saber will come with one completed blade (sorry, but I do not have the parts to make any extra blades).

This saber package will be identical to what every other customer received.

Bidding starts at $1500.00.
Auction will run until 8:00 PM MST Sunday March 18.
I will contact the winner and give shipping quotes and payment must be made in full within 72 hours of notification of final cost.
 
To place a bid, you just need to post a reply to this thread with your bid amount.  No behind the scenes dealing and no 'end it early' offers accepted.

Winner will be the last person to post before 8:00 PM MST on March 18.

Your saber will ship as soon as it returns to me from the installer.  If you do not pay within the 72 hours after end of auction, the saber will be re-listed and a new auction will be run.

The saber will come as described - I will not be making any arrangements to alter the options or change the saber in any way.

This is your next to the next to the last chance to get one of these sabers first hand.

Well, if you go back to the progress pic thread and count parts in the pictures, there are usually 38 of each part shown.  These include the Artist's Proof saber and 37 numbered sabers.  The 'prototype' parts were never shown because it was not a numbered saber and if something happened to a prototype part and it was no good at all, then the prototype saber would just go in the spare parts drawer.  As it was, the prototype saber had very few issuews so it is getting sold also.

The main reason for this, is that if a saber get's lost or heavily damaged during shippment, I can replace the customer's saber instead of issuing a refund.  I don't people to not get what they pay for so I alwasy make extra.  Look back at almost all my prior offerings - there are always extra put up for sale after all the sold parts/sabers have shipped and been received.
