Some of you might be interested in some of the things I listed on ebay in the past day days, and in the coming days I am going to add some more stuff.

Alot of this are things I purchased for various projects, that I just never had a chance to start. But there is going to be some great deals.

Right now are a couple pairs of wheel/motor/bracket assemblies. 1 pair includes encoders, 1 pair doesn't.

Some misc SMD resistor reels. some big Caps, a sonar distance sensor. etc.

Coming up soon are a OLED screen, GPS module, Accelerometer, a couple of ColorPal sensors, and a few other surprises. All will have a starting bid of less than half of what they cost new.

I just took a new position at work that is keeping me quite busy, and I just don't have the time to pursue this hobby anymore, and need some cash to catch up on some bills. My loss will be your gain.

    Just listed my SMD Rework station and another ColorPal

    One pair of the Motors/Wheels/Brackets for a robot is ending in a couple hours, They are a steal at the opening bid, I paid more than twice that for them.

    As some of you have guessed and asked by email, I'm giving up uController.com, and selling off alot of the parts I had from unstarted / unfinished projects. I just got a new position at work that is coonsuming all of my time, and my children get all the time I have left over. I haven't been able to come up with any new designs lately, and I've been unable to devote as much time to uController.com as I had be able to in years past. It's been alot of fun! but unfortunately, my Family and my employer need my attention.

    It is difficult to give up on a dream (idea), and then to sell your stuff at a loss. but is it really a loss?
    I'm sure you learned a lot, had fun, made some discoveries.
    Do what you have to do, them come back to it when you got time.
