Unfortunately shipping IS a bitch no matter where it comes from.

Awesome price George. IMO, worth the shipping cost. Shouldn't be THAT bad considering.

Thanks for the offer George.
I'm looking into building a new Heavier pot. Will detail it some other time no doubt.

Here's what I was intending to use to build a new pot. 2.5" round 2.5" long Copper Rod. 50 bucks. <-- ebay link Swap my stack over, this would be a major improvement. I'd have to put up pictures and explain, perhaps another time. The current pot is an Aluminum base with a copper slug in the middle. A brass bushing around the copper slug for surface area. It's not heavy at all, but works rather well with Dry Ice. At least for what it is, I can at least dable in the cold.

Between the cost of materials to make and possible tooling cost(s) required, not to mention just labor involved on your part, this pot would be a steal of a deal for you. You'll never be able to make a pot that's equal to this as long as what you are making isn't all copper - And as you already know, I should know. I'm glad to have the two pots plus the ones I did make myself.

I'm glad to have the two pots plus the ones I did make myself. I have to talk the wife into using a grocery funds for a LN2 pot. That won't go over too easy. I used pocket change from a jar for the LN2. Could have a better system than a 2700X that was newer and faster. Could have M.2 drives, but still have sata ssd's. Could'a Would'a Should'a - Should be my new nick name.

I was simply suggesting to check it out when you are able, there is no rush to actually make a deal here that I know of. It's between you and George how it goes but from what I'm seeing it should be possible to slowly scratch and save for the pot, then get it.

I just have bigger fish to fry. Like coughing up 10 grand on a fence for our back yard of our beautiful new house. My poor dog needs the running room. A lead is not a good place for my fur baby. So we penny pinch and try to spend wisely. As wise as the Pot may be for benching, it's unwise to dip into savings for things I really need.

No charge. It is final.
Pm me your details and I will just check shipping costs.
BTW I have three dogs. The fence is 5 meters high.
Pot is yours Jon. End of this. Enjoy it.

What a great comp!!
Thanks to all whom participated.
Unfortunately, we did not meet the criteria for prises. I will consult with those who pitched in to donate how to split the pot.
Again, great comp! I learned lots and lots. Funkin A!
