Sold Free: Very Used Mantis Launch Pad - Seattle Area

[DirkTheDaring]

I have a rather beaten up Mantis launchpad. Some of the plastic clips are broken off and it's seen better days. But I have all the parts, including the legs (even though not shown in the picture). Might be best for spare parts, but with some MacGyver-ing it could be fully functional. Free for the taking, I'm in Lake Forest Park. Or could ship if you're willing to pay postage. I don't need it and it's just taking up space.

For any of you thinking of buying one of these - don't. I guess this is just my opinion, but I think they're way overpriced and not very solidly built. They look great in pictures, but the reality is plastic including thin tabs that break easily.

Hey, still have it?

Hey, still have it?

Yes. You coming to 60 acres on the fourth?

I’m not able to. I’m a full time caretaker for my disabled wife. I wish I could get down there then. I visit her brother in Kirkland a couple times during the year in the past, but now with her needing full time care, it’s hard to get away. I’m trying to get down to Kirkland this month, but I don’t know when. Could you hold on to it for a bit? Next time I’m down there, I could stop by and pick it up. What would the shipping be if you sent it?

I'm happy to hold on to it. I doubt it's worth the cost of shipping, but I can weigh it and make an estimate. Please understand that various bits are broken, but it can be made to work.

If and when you get to Kirkland, let me know and I can meet you there, just give me enough of a heads up so that I make sure to leave that time free. Or, I go through Kirkland all the time, I could drop it at your brother-in-law's home if it's ok with you and them. I'm happy to see it put to good use.

I’ll find out if it’s cool with them.

I’ll hold it for you in any case

 

[dakota196]

Who do I say is coming to drop it off?

 

[dakota196]

I’ll hold it for you in any case

Looks like I’ll be heading down that way next week.

When is a good day and time to come down?

Hi, sorry, I have not been on the forum recently. It’ll be easier if we switch to email. You can reach me at [email protected]. If you’re able to swing by my house then I can leave it for you by our door anytime. Shoot me an email and we can take it from there.
