Hardware & Reviews / HTC - Vive Before I try to flog it on Gumtree
« on: April 01, 2022, 10:46:55 AM »
Hi,
My wife bought me a HTC Vive about 5 years ago. I've used it for about 15 hrs all up since I got it. I thought I needed it for sim racing, but should have known better because I get car sick. The best use I've got out of it was just sitting in a car and looking around because it does look pretty cool with the lighting and stuff.
Anyway I've been meaning to sell it for years because I can't drive more than a couple of laps without getting nauseous, and even if I thought I was getting used to it, if the car suddenly stopped because I hit a wall or ditch I'd almost throw up instantly.
It'll be going on Gumtree for $450 on the 15th April. It's the full retail kit: Headset, 2X controllers, 2XBase Stations, 1X link box and all the cables , power , and chargers. Still has the spare face foam.
If anyone would like to purchase it please message me. $380. I'm in Ipswich near Brisbane.
If no-one here wants it that's cool, I just wanted to offer it here first.
Mods: If there's another area in the forums where this would be more appropriate please move it.

Cheers
Darren

Hi Wally,

I'm out of this season. I broke my wrist today, I broke it good so I wont be driving for a while.

regards
Darren

Hope it heals well,  May I ask how it happened ?

Funny story Phil - Greek tragedy perhaps. I replaced my old (15yr) CBR600F4i with a new CBR600rr and was lucky enough to be picking it up on my birthday Thursday. I wasn't used to the clutch, engine note etc and was paranoid about new tyre grip (because I've high-sided from a standing start before on new tyres), under revved it and stalled with a little lurch, lost my balance, and refused to drop the bike hard. I was still fighting gravity trying to drop it gently, and when my elbow hit the ground about 100 kgs went through my wrist and it snapped.  Best, and worst Birthday ever. So now I'm paying for 8 to 10 weeks of rego, and insurance on a new bike I can't ride. The Ambulance and hospital hospital staff were great, and Pro Honda Moorooka, bless their cotton socks, are replacing the piece of fairing I did still scratch for nothing, as a birthday present.

General Discussion / Anyone want a Saitek X45 Hotas?
« on: August 02, 2016, 09:39:53 PM »
I have one sitting on my floor that does nothing. The plastic is a bit sticky but it should still work.
I'll be throwing it out, but thought I'd ask in case someone could use it before I do.

Cheers

Hi all,

I've upgraded my vid card and going to put my previous two cards on Gumtree, but wanted to give a heads up to anyone here who might be interested.
I'll be asking for $240 $220 for them, and the adapter on GT, but if anyone here wants to buy them I'll sell for $220. $170. I have no idea what they're worth, but I was obviously asking too much. I don't really care if I sell them, but if anyone wants let me know.
I'm in Brisbane

If you want to know anything else PM me or respond in this thread.

Cheers

I have a couple of HD6590's and a mini dp to dvi that I'm going to put on gumbytree, but thought I'd see if anyone needs (wants to upgrade) first?
Cheers

netKar PRO / Hello again
« on: October 25, 2013, 05:47:58 PM »
Just thought I'd say hello.
Sorry I haven't been driving for a while. After I had to quit last year to concentrate on TAFE (waste of time) I just didn't feel like driving much.
I've done a bit of iracing, but not very much at all. Bathurst is quite good.

The site looks pretty schmick.

I hope you're all having fun, and I might see you on track soon......or I'll continue to be a slack prick.  :)

Darren
