This matchine has to be a humorous post.

Where's the pic?

Deal, I'll have to keep my eyes posted for one of these around my area, and order that book ASAP.

I would say that is why he said it must be a joke, there is NO INFO! Not a pic, not a model number, not a manufacturer name, NOTHING... and they want how much sight unseen?

Chuck, if you contacted the seller, there is a chance that they would mail it. They are probably worried about it being received damaged. If you addressed those concerns, and told them you would pay extra to have it packed box-within-a-box they may reconsider. Maybe not with this particular machine, but another that may come up in the future. I shopped for a machine for months, I got a good idea of how often what comes up, and what to look for in a seller. You should do the same if you are really set on trying DIY.

And note, even if the machine did arrive with something knocked out of whack, it could be easily fixable -still worth it.

Chuck,
Something sounds very fishy about that Ebay listing. I sent an email asking if the unit could be picked up by family members which happen to live in California, and the seller seems to have agreed. When I called the spa, I was given the number for the Manager but still have not heard any response. Something just does not sound right. Why someone refuses to ship is beyond me, when just taking it 0.6 miles to a UPS location, and they will double package it for shipment is beyond me.

Instantron SS-69 On bid. Four more days. It's a RF (thermolysis)only machine, but if it goes low, would be a good buy. The beginner will have a rough start, and possibly a rougher middle, but if they can get the process down of using a therm only machine , this could be a great deal.

Wow! This machine is cheap! Does it have the power level to get he job done? I'd imagine all electrolysis machines could be used to pump up the power level. I don't really know the specifics of why machines are better than each other? I'd really like to get one of those clareblend machines, those sound like they are really good. I have no idea how to make a great insertion yet, but I am definitely willing to read and learn how to do so. I just don't want to do damage or scar myself with going straight to thermolysis.

A Clareblend Ultrablend would be a better epilator for you IF YOU INSIST ON doing this yourself. It would be better because you can just start out doing straight, but slow, galvanic.This would give you are large window of time so you could watch your skin reaction at the surface and make adjustments if you see untoward side effects. Galvanic only is a good place to start for a newbie and the Clareblend is a very sturdy piece of equipment which can function as a galvanic only epilator. Later, you can up the speed because it is a blend epilator, and it can offer thermolysis only as well.

Good news, I guess it can be shipped now. It was relisted...

I think I'm going to try to buy it. $310 dollars, can't beat that. It doesn't look like it has a footpedal? I sent an email to the buyer to ask if it comes with one as I don't see it in the pictures. I looked on the clareblend website and it looks like they are $2500 for a new one..jeez. http://www.clareblend.com/new_page_1.htm

Is there anything different between these two products? They look exactly the same, I know obviously one is older, but from the pictures it doesn't look in bad condition. I figure if I can't figure it out I can always sell it back in EBAY to somebody. The only thing I'm weary of is there is no feedback for the seller.
