What do you think?
Hi everyone,
I was playing around on ebay searching for tech stuff and searched in "color scrollers." Well I found this and was considering bidding, because obviously that low of a price for so many would be pretty incredible. But I was thinking, is a used color scroller going to be safe and for that matter even going to work. I know that you guys, obvioulsy, can't tell me any definite answers, but was wondering if any of you guys that are pretty experienced working with this kind of equipment can look at the pictures and see if it at least looks like it will work/be safe. Thanks in advance (and if nobody can figure it out, sorry and thanks for trying)

Re: What do you think?
yeah it would be safe, who knows if it will work though, the listing says "as is" so you may get only one or two that work. Also the listen says that no cables are included so you will need to purchase that as well.

My instinct is to say no...it came from a k-12 school...and that's really 50/50 on whether or not it was taken care of.

Re: What do you think?
No cables is a big negative, your going to be dropping a pretty good amount on that. It's hard to totally destroy a forrunner, but I have seen them in very bad shape. These could use a very good cleaning, but if you can pick it up for cheap, you might be able to get half of them working.

Re: What do you think?
Then again, my guess is that the sellers have no idea what these things are or what they are really worth...
For a hundred bucks, it's a steal... Even if you just get the power supply and 1 of them working....

Re: What do you think?
My guess is you'll have to replace all the gel strings as well. I think those go for about $50 each, new.

You could always make your own...I've never had the patience for it though
