Is this the same one from 2006?
Why are you having so much trouble getting rid of it?

Also why does it cost $8000 new?

Yeah it's the same one from '06', I'm not really having trouble selling it cause I only ever advertised it on here, and I was offered $400 for it then. After advertising it last year it has just been sitting in the shed, so I thought I would get rid of it.

As for the $8000, the rrp is $7999 because it is a scientific incubator and has to be extremly acurate, I know this is slight over-kill for brewing beer but then again I'm only asking $400 for it.

I've been thinking about doing the same with some of the incubators we have at work... they are accurate to 0.1 of a degree.. The thing is, they are soo expensive, so people will notice if they go missing... Whoever gets this will be set...

Excellent question. If I were in Melbourne I would be in on the bidding. Though really you could probably get a second hand fridge of that size for $150 or so and a fridgemate at $50 and be accurate enough for brewing. Just wouldn't be as much fun... or as good of a story to tell ;)

I'd buy it in a second if I had a shed. :cry:
