Self-made Competition Timer for sale

[Markus Pirzer]

With the help of the instructions on the website www.retrox.de I've made my own Competition Timer. Unfortunately I didn't have the equipment to make my own PCBs (printed circuit boards). To reduce the cost for it, I decided to make them smaller and I ordered 3 pieces. Therefore I have 2 complete Competition Timers left which I want to sell.

My timer has some more functions than the Stackmat Timer:
- Memory for 99 times
- 8 independent users selectable
- Average of all and average of the last 5 solves without best and worst
- Serial interface to transfer the times to a PC

More information you'll find on my website: www.rubiks-zauberwuerfel.de/english/competition_timer.html

Very neat... how long did it take you to put one of those together?

It took about two weeks to get all necessary components and then I needed a few hours to put the timers together (I made all 3 timers at once)

I'd like 1, but it depends on the price. I don't know how much to offer. :S

Make an offer. If no one will offer more in the next few weeks, I'll sell it to you to that price.

I thought about to sell it at ebay, but I don't want to sell it for 1 Euro and I don't know whats the right starting bit to have a realistic chance to sell it.
To get my prime costs, the price should be similar to that from the official Stackmat Timer, but if nobody will pay as much, I would also sell it to an lower price.
