The Mystery frame from Tunaball3

[kwood]

alright everyone

ME
1 gloss black

[Shirow]

I hemmed and hawwed but made it in..

Hopefully I will like it, never shot a vert frame before but I've been jonesing for a sleeper pneumag! Now Zap just needs to hurry up and ship the cheaters!

[p8ntbal4me]

i need a frame if any one wants to sell theirs

[Shirow]

I looked the thread over and didnt see a price anywhere.
Is that true, they were $239.00 just for a frame and trigger ?
If it is all I can say is W O W

If thats the pneu kit too thats not bad.
If its just the trigger and frame.......

Honestly, it is expensive, there's no denying that. If it was being sold by someone like Dye, I'd chalk it up to +20% for the label.

But... you have to think of it this way.

#1 It's been made with no preorders, someone put up all their own money for this.
#2 It's been made in very small quantities, so there wasn't a big discount on raw materials.
#3 A lot of the work was done by hand... I remember posts about them being hand polished, one by one. Efficient? No... but necessary in this case.
#4 In reference to point 1... I'm sure that person wants to make sure they make their money back plus some profit.

I mean, the thing is, they sold. Quickly. Market value :) I definitely was a little taken aback when I saw the price and almost didn't buy but then I thought.. if I get a Chimera, for example, and have it tapped for an LPR, get everything I need to mount pneu parts and everything else.. I'd probably push past $200. These have a custom trigger as well...

At the end of the day, it was just about worth it to me. I completely understand the price.

PROPER hardware for mounting the pneu kit, .......................... You would spend 50 bucks in time alone finding the right hardware.

Care to elaborate on what is considered proper hardware?

I'd like to see a picture of what you get for $239.00 .

Trust me, once mine arrives I will be taking copious pictures for everyone.

And then I will be taking pictures of my Intelliframe and really hoping it sells

I'll be using a Cheater in mine (once I get it..) so I don't think I even need whatever mounting hardware comes with it.. but I got it anyway, from a resale perspective.

So, where can I get some rubber grips that aren't made for IR3s? I don't want the LED window in the middle.

I know Luke has some convex aluminum ones and I've seen some flat aluminum ones on Chimeras, any other types?

set screws, tools, know how, instructions, ect,......

thats about $50 right there

if I get a Chimera, I'd probably push past $200.

I was billed $175 + shipping for my chimera,.. no trigger included

in that case I will pre-order 100 of them. You never know when you could use an extra hand.
