Bumping this topic.
Looks like my flamethrower speculation wasn't on point. I'm looking to offload 1 of these now for a stablecoin. This is not about crypto speculation - so whatever deal is worked out I don't want exposure to crypto markets. I will not deal with anyone who doesn't either have a good reputation or isn't within driving distance.
I've done $10K+ deals and been around this forum (& others) for years. Description is accurate - price is about what they are going for on ebay when you filter out the scammers. (Mine is unfired / sealed in box - don't even know the Serial #)

Sorry for the bump, but I really wanted to share this tiny, yet super cool demo of this BEAST:

I sold my Eth for $2.50, Monero for $2, Litecoin for $3. I'm a respecter of not fucking up now. I'll hold on to em for a year & see if my patience pays off.
Didn't it feel really good at the time to make that profit though...
That was about my range - Selling 2k Eth (@100% profit) to pay for 1semester of college
We all have to learn the hard way in crypto

Thanks. In that case, they owe me a $30 refund.
Meh - I ordered 3 extra extinguishers to go with my flamethrowers. Should be able to break even or make a few bucks (I assume they will be shipping extra extinguishers if we paid for them).

Your call bud. $1,500 $1,250 is my max.
Na - I'll wait man.
Looks like a lot of these people bought to resell later so the market should be flooded here shortly - even more so than now (this is just the supply for the first 1K flamethrowers). You shouldn't have a problem picking one up in that range or less if you get one in the first few months.

Yes. Musk said each one came with it's own extinguisher which will be included in the price.
Where did he say that? This page says clearly "-Fire extinguisher sold separately (for exorbitant amounts of money)" which was about $30 at the time if I remember correctly.

Not as bad a deal as it originally appeared to me.
The one place you can find them cheaper (starting at $1,500 - I'm probably too honest) is on CL in Los Angelas since that's where the had the first pickup. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/search/sss?query=flamethrower&sort=rel
I just feel like they're going to be $3K+ very soon after release, I'm wanting to travel again soon, I take crypto & know messing with fiat in / out can be a mega pain in the ass & I'm fairly reputable (I've never scammed anyone here), & I can deliver to anywhere in the continental US (& possibly eastern Europe as that's where I'm going next).

I couldn't find the article, but I read somewhere that Tesla had ordered lots of parts they ended up not needing.
That's crazy - did not realize this.

Is someone on in the Collectables forum going to win a darwin award?
Who wants to lend me one? I'll cover shipping

For the attorneys on the forum could OP seller be held liable if buyer hurts himself, others or property damage?
I suppose so, however Elon musk made everyone sign rhyming terms and conditions. So I suppose a seller on here could do the same.
I will not use this in my house...
I will not use this on my spouse...

~img snip~ Ordered Jan 28th @ 11AM Central time - so it should be a low serial #.
Will be delivered in the next 1 - 2 weeks. You will be purchasing an unopened item.
I can take payment in Bitcoin, Monero, Eth or Litecoin. Will deliver anywhere in the continental U.S. or use OgNasty for Escrow.

I'll pay 700 for it seeing as you paid 500 for it
I'll offer $999 in BTC, as long as UK Customs will let this monstrosity into the country.
Personally, I'm just waiting to watch all the YouTube videos of people lighting their homes on fire accidentally.
LOL this.

Personally, I'm just waiting to watch all the YouTube videos of people lighting their homes on fire accidentally.
I am still amazed they went through with this product stunt. Don't get me wrong you couldn't pay enough money for the publicity it got them...
However... the legality of it scares me...
1) Giving the average people (Americans) a Flamethrower.
2) bypassing border/shipping restrictions with calling it Not a Flamethrower.
3) as Og mentions the possible legality that might come from these. Damages, Injuries or worse case deaths.
I would hate to be their in-house council...
Nonetheless... I would want one. Good luck whoever snatches this up! I want to play with one...
I couldn't find the article, but I read somewhere that Tesla had ordered lots of parts they ended up not needing. The flamethrower (my guess) was nothing more than them trying to make lemonade out of lemons and find a way to sell some of their unused parts to avoid losses. I think The Boring Company raised over 20 million dollars selling the flamethrowers already, which is better than Tesla paying to store or dispose of parts they didn't end up needing.
Here's an article showing that Tesla did indeed sell $400,000 worth of parts to The Boring Company in 2017 & so far in 2018: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-sale-parts-elon-musk-162059848.html

Not as bad a deal as it originally appeared to me. I couldn't find one cheaper online anywhere yet. For the guy that always needs to be an early adopter, this might be the best current option.

If it's not a low serial number do you offer some sort of guarantee that it will be, if not will a monetary fee be reimbursed in the purchasing crypto tied to the time of purchase in crypto?
June 12, 2018, 09:40:03 AM
Ordered Jan 28th @ 11AM Central time - so it should be a low serial #. Can provide email receipt.
Box never opened - so I don't know the serial #. I accept any stablecoin (with a reasonable history) - this sale is about a small bump in my finances without wanting to sell crypto. Buyer will need to be reputable. This is a great deal - if you don't use these they will go up in value (significantly). If you live in the mid / southwest I may be able to deliver in person.
