Well, I decided since I already had one pistol finished I would go ahead and post it on ebay and post the second one once it's done.

So here is the auction:

BUY ME!

Included in this auction is:
1 x pistol
1 x owners manual
1 x tactical light

This is serial number 102

Disclaimer:
By bidding on this auction you are agreeing that this is a homemade PVC Nerf pistol. And with that agreement the knowledge that it may not exhibit the reliability of a production NERF brand blaster. By placing a bid you are agreeing to NOT blame me if the pistl breaks at any point during usage under your possession. Basically, use at your own risk.

I hope the above statement doesn`t scare anyone away, but I feel that if I didn`t make that statement then some buyer would break their gun and come whining to me about getting another or moeny back or whatnot. I`m not saying that it will break. In fact I have beat the shit out of the prototype and it has yet to break or fail to function. I`ve dropped it a few times on hard floors.

The pistol is painted satin tan with krylon fusion and can be repainted as wanted by the buyer. I just laid a primer coat.

Here are the same photos that are in the auction:




















I will ship internationally for you guys in Canada and Australia.

I started the auction at 8pm Sunday to try and accomadate as many people as possible for the end of the auction.

If you have any questions ask away I`ll edit the auction as necessary to answer any questions presented.

Very nice, how did you brand the numbers and letters on the gun?

[taita cakes]

*BAM*
My bid is down, and I suspect with 6 days and 23 hours to go, bolt here is going to make a lot of money. What is the international shipping rate, just for knowings sake?

[boltsniper]

What is the international shipping rate, just for knowings sake?

I haven`t the slightest idea. Shipping weight should be slightly over 1 pound and I`ll be using USPS if you want to figure it.

[baghead]

I know It will go 4 alot more than I've got on it right now, but i'll try...

[Ronster]

Alomost 50 bucks already?
There is still 6 days left!!!
Man, Bolt, I think you might just make a profit!

Hey Bolt, the way you made the lower part of the pistol looks like the handle is part of the lower piece, not a seprate piece... How did you do that???

In America we call that 'skill.'

[boltsniper]

Careful shaping then spackling then sanding then painting then sanding then

Even when I was only slightly outbid it was nearing $50 Australian. I can't bare the thought of the current price and it's rate of conversion. Ouch. Good luck bolt, can't wait to see how much it finally goes for!

[boltsniper]

I can`t believe it topped $50 in under 1 day...

[baghead]

I can...But then I Kinda did help it along a little bit...(Laughs Maniacally)

This is one of the most evil schemes ever invented by a god-like man...

eh?

[murakumo32]

Your plan to sell homemades on ebay, you know that the prices will soar and you will get a huge sum of money from it. It's evil. And you boltsniper, you are a god-like man.

I feel the same way.

[Osiris]

WOAH! Some people are bidding $51 for this homemade. Damn some people are crazy. Its a really awesome gun but paying $51 is just retarded. Its better to buy a kit or actually attempt to build this awesome pistol. im not filthy rich like that so I guess I maybe I will buy a kit or attempt to build it.

I just Figured I'd give it a shot on bidding, But I fully Expected to get outbid...I'm all for the idea of kits Bolt. I can't wait.

-Bags

[boltsniper]

Kits will probably still happen. Gotta stock up on supplies first so I can put a few kits together at once.

Looks like 'tis-nic' might have it at $52. Still 3 days left though. Anyone planning on losing? Like you would say if you were.

The second one is getting close to being done. I took a break from it and brainstormed a new homemade that's gonna kick ass.

[WratH]

ANOTHER ONE?!?!? SWEET! Is this one gonna be something semi-easy to build?

[SG Pilot]

Bolt, your gonna be rich

The gun approches 90 feet in range! That's rediculous for a pistol and must explain why so many people want the thing. It's also got a cool pistol design as well.

WratH, I believe bolt said that it is a pretty easy gun to build which is why he made this one and will sell another one or two. He didn't sell any FARs because they are harder to make.

Darn...my GNS will be obsolete before I even get the rest of the parts to build it.

Not only does the GNS look awesome, the ranges are great, with an edge over Nerf's current-generation pistols.

Can't wait to see schmatics for the GNS parts as well as pics of the new gun. I can tell you that in my community alone, there are plenty of people hanging on every word you post, Boltsniper.

[WratH]

SG Pilot: He said he was brainstorming a new home made. That what was I was asking about. Not the GNS.

[mongor64]

just wondering if any of you bid and thought you had a chance to win when the auction had well over 48hrs to go? i mean it doesn't make any sense to bid so early unless you like over paying for an item, cause all it does is drive up the price. this may sound insulting to alot of you but think of it as constructive criticism for future biding.

and for you bolt, VERY nice and i hope it hits well over $75 or even $100!

A revolver would be awesome. You could use a Maverick turret (or something else). I wouldn't know what would propel the dart or how you would turn the turret automaticly after each shot. But you are a genious, so you can figure it out.

[boltsniper]

What I have planned for BS-7 is a compressed air powered rifle fed by a 4 round turret located in the stock. A bullpup revolver rifle. It will either be pump action or semi. I`m gonna try for semiauto first and if it just won`t work I`ll just make it pump action. I plan on making a few of the small intricate parts, like valve bodies, with the rapid prototyper.


This will probably be a long duration project. Might be done by Christmas.



That's another topic all together so let's not derail this thread.
