Hit eBay and Found This!

Oh wow thats a great price Knight. Did that organisation get back to you at all by the way?

Looks like I'm not going to get it. I keep getting outbid. I'll look for a different one that has a "Buy It Now" option.

Hey guys... So, after looking around for a wheelchair that fulfills all my needs and stays lightweight and looks pretty... other than the TiLite TRA, which has a Base Price of $3,195... I found this: www.colourswheelchair.com/products/prod_razorblade.htm It is made of aluminum, but I went and looked up a study done with titanium vs aluminum wheelchairs, and there was really no difference during daily activities... and aluminum is lighter. Also, with a base price of $2,400, I'm much more likely to get funding for it. Also, it doesn't cost extra money to get it in a color. Thoughts? Advice? Anyone have thoughts on aluminum chairs?

Just had a look at the colours website and the razor blade is a very cool looking wheelchair. But I'm not convinced about the quality.....

Yes that's true Knight, but I don't wipe all else out, I also have a invacare wheelchair. It's just that I'm not sure of the quality and build, in a great believer in you get what you pat for, that's all.

The fantasy is still there for me, to come in to a lot of money and buy chairs for people. They'd all be Tilite titanium of course ;-)

eBay can be great for chairs. I spent more than a year checking every single day to find a chair with my measurements. I won the auction with less than 30 seconds to go. My advice on bidding and winning is to do the hard thing - figure out the absolute maximum you can pay to the penny and make it your highest bid. Hopefully the sale price is much lower but if you really want the chair and the computers at eBay grab your next bid before the other guy at the last second, you're in. That's how I got my Tilite. Paid a ton for it but more worth it than just about anything I've bought. Actually putting it as the top necessity, it is the best thing I've bought. Outside the food/shelter/wheelchair thing, the engagement ring I bought was the best thing I ever paid for. That was priceless. Wheelchairs unfortunately are not and back in the real world I am planning on getting a Tilite TR3 when I can get the money. Currently I have no idea when that can be. Good thing I have a Tilite and it should last me until I can get a new one. I want the new frame angles on the TR3 but also I have some measurements I need to change. Otherwise, my Tilite TR2 is bulletproof. I'll never plan to buy anything other than Tilite (in titanium).
