Bots on Ebay

[Resetti's Replicas]

This seems like a good thread to have, give each other a heads up when we find robots or related stuff for sale on Ebay.  Here's a current one.

Seems legit.

that was actually up on ebay a while back being sold by the original owner, it seems someone (very illiterate) bought it and is trying to resell it for more money. It's a middleweight and did not actually compete in Battlebots.

Oh, and an early RW competitor named "Badger" was sold on ebay a few years ago.

Atomic Wedgie was notorious for this, although it didn't sell.

And you all know the story of Slap 'Em Silly.

I have the skit they did on vhs.

Honestly I always thought they where putting Atomic Wedgie up for sale as a publicity stunt.


and what was the story behind Slap 'Em Silly? I know it was bought on ebay, but was it another robot before that?

[Badnik96]

Yes, it was the original Patriot, then it was put on EBay and bought by Team Fatcats, who rebuilt it from mostly the ground up. Some other parts from Patriot were used in the Slap Em Silly multibot Slap Em Sillier.

Reminds me of Rameses the Second from Series 2, actually

The bottom of it reminds me of indefatigable.

I assume they acted out some sort of tense bidding war in a live auction, with a gavel and everything.

It was more like one of those cheesy 50's movies, the ones that show what the future will look like.

Please not this is very rare item. When it was build it was used in a battlebot competition. This robot contains the frame and all the motors. This is the real thing it weights more than 100 pounds. Don't let this opportunity to get a great product at a very very low price. This machine was not made in china is a America machine . This machine is make like a tank very strong and does kick ass. It robot has all the mechanical parts to complete a combat robot .The setup in this auction provide a great start to build your own robot. This one is the best value for your money. The original designer invested more thean $2000 on the creation of this mechanical parts for his battlebot. If you have any questions, please contact us by email . Notice the low starting price. Good Luck!!!!

I lol'd.

What is also funny is the fact that someone posted the auction when the original owner sold it and I distinctly remember all of the pictures in the current auction being used in it. Laziness prevails.

and the guy only wanted around 150 for it right? sucks that some - would go and buy it, and then try to sell it off for more, not to mention sell it with misinformation. if i was the builder i would be -

oh, and i got a picture of the bot that was on ebay a while back, credit to the guy who uploaded all the old rw vids on YouTube (Jason Ribiero.)

always figured that it was part of the inspiration for ginsu since it fought la machine in 97...

True I guess, but it aggrivates me that somebody who would do that would be the one who buys it. I reaaallly wanted to as well, but I couldn't get the money to do so and I hoped somebody who would actually use it would get it. A combat robot just isn't the kind of thing you go and flip.

Try negotiating, I assume you have some money to offer.  He doesn't seem very bright in the head, you could probably convince him to sell it at a loss.
