    Check the buyers forum. I'm pretty sure there are a few guys who buy them and you can check their prices to get an idea.

    Click on the main SMF link top of the page, it'll take you to the main page. Near the top is a "buyers and sellers" category, click on that, and you're there

    Well, I do remember reading a few threads on the subject and I thought I saw one or two of the buyers on this forum state they buy them. I could be wrong. I definitely remember a thread about shipping them, though. But just about every buyer says at the end of their price list to ask if you have anything not on their list.

    Maybe that's what it was. I did get a kick out of someone asking something along the lines of if they would stick to the side of the delivery truck. Got a good laugh out of that one.

    I doubt they buy small amounts, but maybe someone can work something out with them and buy from us, stockpile, then ship. its like 20 miles from my house, but i can't afford to stockpile lol

    Or if you can't sell them, just nail them up to your work bench. They make great tool holders!

    Hell yes, and that's with them firmly attached to the table. I would imagine a loose one would really be a battle >.<

    Unless I'm seeing this wrong, it looks like the tips of the screwdrivers and needle nose's would scrape the heck out of your arms if you use that keyboard. Awesome idea, though! I might have to do that on my bench!

    Actually, the table itself is below the tools. That is just a sort of hood above the work area. So, say you're disassembling a laptop and need a screwdriver, you just reach right up in front of you, and presto, there it is!

    The keyboard really shouldn't be there, but my techs wanted to set up a PC to listen to music on... I figure a little Zeplin can only increase productivity, eh?
