If this was in Melbourne I would grab it! But the suburbs of Brisbane are a little too far for me!

Thanks for the offer guys it is much appreciated, I was only interested because I already have  a Phoenix and have another backglass in the States that I will get over one day, so I thought if in Melb ok but by the time you ship it down etc and other problems it's not worth it unfortunately.

But thanks again!

I emailed the owner of the Phoenix which is listed on ebay WITHOUT the original backglass. (and u cant buy backglass's ofcourse)

He will not take less than $800 for the machine !

I reckon without the backglass, and in the condition it is in, its worth $300 to $400 absolute tops, but he wants the full $800 and says he is in no hurry to sell it. Perhaps someone will pay silly money for it, or it will sit there forever, it is hard to say, time will tell !

He will be best pals with his $800 hybrid for some time to come.
Machine is worth $250 - $300. I certainly wouldnt pay more to have the thing sitting around for a couple of years before you source a glass for it

I can't believe it, but it eventually sold for $911!
