Hey,
 I live in Rochester, New York. Got the week off. I'd
gladly hunt down this rogue tron. Damn, I thought
there were only a couple of these things around here;)

not signed)

Terry,
 
Try and contact the seller and ask to see the Tron. Fire off a couple of  
requests and then notify eBay that the seller will not respond.
 
By the way, I don't make this offer often, but I will sign your Tron.

Will you be signing it in the old 'Yes Logo' font or the new "9012something" font??

I'll take a Roger Dean one...

Happy New Year all...  It is a wonderful thing that we celebreate the fact that the Earth has made it around the Sun...  AGAIN!!  Whew!!

Enjoy the 2007 ride...

I've been practising Wake Rickman's autograph for just this sort of occasion. If you (or anyone) would like me to do one up -- and I promise I won't let anyone in on our little secret -- just give me enough notice so I have time to go out and get another can of butane for my blow torch.


Rick

Hi, I'd  like to sell it for $1,600.00 including shipping to buyer. Here are

This was the response I received from the seller, along with a  bunch of 
pics. The pics are the ones we've seen before, with the funky control  knobs, 
"Royal Chiropractic" in the now-covered background, and no pic of  the signed lid.
 
Terry, did you follow up in checking this unit out  personally?

/Hi,

I'd like to sell it for $1,750.00 including shipping to buyer. Here are 
some pics. If you're still interested and you agree to my price than we 
may have a deal before the auction ends. I look forward to hearing from you.

This is the response I got a couple of hours ago from "jason" (including 
the pictures, of course).  I had asked about the serial number of the 
machine, and as I expected, there's no response to that.  I'm also a bit 
bemused that Frank gets it for $150 less than I do - must be his 
author's discount.

Well the bid's at $1600 now, so he's guaranteed that amount. Isn't 
this the same Tron that in the very beginning had a Buy It Now price 
of $10,000? Frank, do you have the original listing?

P.S. My New Years wish is that everyone on this list who doesn't yet 
own their own Tron, will, and at a fair price!

Happy New Year!!

Bernie

Yeah, and I'm Jon Wakeman...

Aren't you? I'm crushed.

Is it common to get snow in Scottsdale?  I thought someone had 
previously run this picture down to Michigan or Wisconsin.

I do, and it was.
 
I think it is important that everyone on this list contact ebay and try to  
stop this sale. Frank, I think you and John, especially, should do so. I know  
Bernie has contacted them, and I have, twice. I wrote the seller and demanded 
to  see a photo of him holding the lid. No response.
 
Let's stop  him.

You are correct, sir. This was not taken in Scottsdale. I was taken in  
Michigan.

Where was you taken to, Frank?



It was a weird night. Sometimes it's hard to even think about it. But now  
that I've let it slip, as much as it hurts to recall, I guess I must  explain.
 
It happened when I went to visit a friend in Detroit. We had been out to  
dinner and both of us had had far too much to drink. That's when I decided to  
call a syntaxi. But it was my error, you see. We had been to a couple of strip  
joints and so we needed a proper ride. 
 
As we headed out of town, I noticed a bright light in the sky. We jumped  out 
just in time to be caught up in some kind of beam (probably operated by  
Jim). The next thing I knew. I was standing just inside what appeared to be an  
overwhelming place. I was inside the ebay. I knew right there I was in for some  
real punishment.

They got me the same way.  I was driving along in my Buick.  They 
beamed me up and then they ate my car.
