Your Best Technic Bargains

[Jonfensu]

My last bargain was not "wow" but it's something: 

4 PF motors (M,L,XL, Servo) for 44USD free shipping

Where did you find such a bargain? 

Well amazingly, I got it bidding on Ebay! I've added a photo to my post too, just because it looks good...

That's a great deal, but were they new or used?

@mocbuild101 What do the USB and serial towers do?

[offroadcreations]

@TechnicRCRacer The USB tower plugs into the computer and sends the programming to the RCX brick, instead of plugging the RCX brick directly into the computer.

Seller stated as Used, but there is not any trace of play - No scratches, cables/connections in mint condition-, I mean, seems like they were for a display model (42030)

Just got my hands on the 42056 Porsche for 150 euro, box still sealed 

[degenerate]

I just picked up 42009 for 100 euro, no instruction included but they're available on the web, proper bargain

Cheapest on BrickLink is around 160 euro I think.

Years ago I bought a mint Axalara T9 at a garage sale for 11$. though technically a Bionical set, it's what got me started in Technic.

I got mine for $20, nice deal!

[Aventador2004]

I have a question, I got a 42066 for $125 yesterday, good deal or not?

[Jurss]

Default price in local shop EUR 93.99.

On bricklink also prices start at some 90 EUR, but i see, that in USA offers start from 150$, so, maybe, OK.

[Boulderer]

8110 Unimog for £60. Used and a little dusty but, otherwise in perfect condition.

[TheQuoteMan]

PowerPuller 100% complete with box, the VHS tape posted internationally for £90 all in last month.

@Boulderer I paid £120 for my Unimog :(

[ctx1769]

I got 42070 for £140 instead of £219 there was no way on earth I was paying that, I got the Porsche for £150 instead of £250 that was another I was not going to buy. I love bargains

I don't trust the European shippers as much now, I ordered 4 things in the last month's that were not shipped... 

[ctx1769]

@Aventador2004 that is really lousy to hear, you would think bricklinkers to be good sellers.

I have yet to experience a bad one.

Not all bricklink, but still. I also forgot to correctly order from lego, and had to intercept it before I never would have gotten it.

I have had only sone 6 orders, all sucsessfull

[Boulderer]

The worst I’ve had, with 100’s of orders, is a few missing pieces on a few orders. All have been resolved with impressive speed.
