I'm going to have to sell the authentic BB I picked up just a few weeks ago.

It's a long story that isn't worth going into , but essentially I need the money back more than I need the mod. I'm half scared to take it out of the house anyway so the SXK BB has been getting more use.

I haven't sold anything over here before, does anyone feel like holding my hand and walking me through it? Am I likely to have a hard time selling such an expensive item when I don't have a record over here of completed trades/sales?

You can use my format I have in the classifieds for the BB spares.

Be honest, clear pictures...provide rrp if and any discount to facilitate the sale.

Thing that is tough with authentic especially sold on forums like this...is all the testing we've done in comparison to the clones, you will basically be targeting someone who wants an authentic.

Wish you luck!

Thanks! Yeah I am keeping the SXK and selling the authentic, which seems counterintuitive and is mostly a financial decision. I will probably tackle making the ad tomorrow if someone doesn't snipe it elsewhere before then.

Thank you for the lookout, I'm so happy with the MF bridge, I haven't looked at anything else. On top of that, we're at DEFCON 5, MIL immediate arrival.
Apologies to @Arthur-VU, I haven't forgotten but literally too busy to die.

I might be interested in one. Do you know anything about them? I can't find much info on them. Oh and the most important question: how much?

Just Mother In Law, you say? My wife has been on a tear for a month! That would've been fine if I didn't get dragged into it too. Well, the lady is here now, I hope I'll get my wife to relax a bit. Her mom is just fine but my wife freaks out, wants to get everything just perfect and ends up digging herself into a hole, starts too many things at once and when realizes she can't finish, she panics.....about that time I walk in and end up helping with her stuff. That too would be fine if I didn't have my own stuff to do, stuff she tries to help me with but trips me up, I get mad.......you get the idea. So, yeah, I've been busier than a one legged man in a arse kicking contest.

I just read earlier today that they had a new version that isn't quite as prone to leaking. Good luck!

Yeah they said it was an issue regarding an o-ring, related to a small number of the initial run. Not had any leaking with mine though.

I soaked them in isopropyl before sending them and then quick dried them with my data vac...they still smell like vanilla bourbon?

I didn't soak the boros though, didn't want the seals to warp to being overly dried by alcohol

You can let them soak for however long you want... I normally doused them with a splash then data vac dry them.

Others let them soak for a while...

Me it was always damp in the same places; face and around the center...if after dousing them and dried it still was a tad dark, I'd hit them again.

More than likely a bit of juice on the "510" pin in the box? The coils are SS so they will dance around a bit, they're pretty steady in TC on the SXKUSBBB.
