OK, that's damn funny, Pete! Hey, buddy - wanna sweet deal on a videophile projector... It's only 225 pounds... There's an image.
Curt, that's at least 75 pounds shy of what it should be, yes? Maybe the dock just didn't want to bother with the palette scale and guessed?!?!?
I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Turns out that is the weight that he wrote down on the skid paperwork, not what Roadway weighed it at. Crossing my fingers...

Cool. When is the truck's ETA, Curt? This is almost as exciting to watch as if I was involved myself.

It left on Friday, but the guy is sending to my Canadian address, so I am dealing with the customs paperwork at this point. AS I said, it's a big clusterf*ck right now, but we'll post the whole story once I get the set. Here's teh pix he sent from his Iphone, so I am assuming it's legit, it's two of 12 pix he sent. Supposedly the 'bulbs' were replaced 50 hours ago, but who knows...

Is it best to plant those neck down or up? Do they bloom in all three colors?

jkruger i think it best to only plant the green bulb being environmentally minded myself, also the green is the one with text burn  ....
Hi Ron!, not sure what with the use of the word bulb here but thats what my seller pretty much stated to me as well, so i asked him for the other set if possible, just saying Curt may want to do the same you never know what you may get, you know these big obsolete pieces of scrap that are our pjs worthless to anyone else, i was thinking of setting up a charity to save a few here in the UK....... save the planet let me dispose of your old technology and may I recommend a pj with a real bulb, remember to replace every 1000 hours as these LCDs are real bright and burn up fast, whats that you say sir this old piece has been going for 8 years no problems, no no its your imagination what you really want is a small pj with one bulb imagine the savings......yes I know they have got better, just imagine if they invested into crts, hmm I am listening to mad world from Donnie Darko how appropriate.

The seller is a third party on this set apparently. The story I got is that some 'friend' has a house sold from under him, foreclosure, divorce, etc who knows, so the old 'bulbs' are long gone.
All I know is I have some pic, a tracking number, and I'm happy. So far.

'friend' has a house sold from under him, foreclosure, divorce, Accidently fell on a knife three times.
This projector has sooooo many stories attached to it, it boggles the mind.

Combine the newly-developed stutter with 'Winterpeg' (which I suspect he DID mean to do) and Curt made a funny!
