Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Nekton Gamma



Vance, if you can get 650 Euro ($838 US) for the model, maybe you should make a few of those while you're at it to fund the real Gamma.

Thijs,
Thank you. I think the 650 Euro price should be put into the real Gamma, just now, but I will save this and get back to you. Perhaps we can find another model when I have a little extra cash.

Hi Vance, 
 
Congratulations with your wonderfull sub. And i can imagine that you would like to have a model of it. There is one for sale here in Holland:

When you copy-past this into Google you will find the advertisement on a Dutch site called "Marktplaats". A kind of E-bay but there is no time limit. They are asking a minimum bit of 650 euro. When you go to "E-mail deze adverteerder" (on the top right) you can sent them an e-mail and see how hard this price is. If you need some help sending it to the US let me know, maybe a can pick it up and be of some assistment.
