I SOLD a, 3-4 year old, high-quality Thumler's Tumbler Industrial Grade Model B (stock #140) Rotary Tumblers, in excellent condition, with lots of extras. They have been used just by me, an experienced adult rockhound. This Mod B rotary tumbler has a large capacity, holding up to 10-15 lbs of rock. The largest size rock that one should tumble in this tumbler is about 3.5 inches. It is a heavy-duty industrial grade rock tumbler for some serious rock tumbling. It has a 1550 rpm thermally protected motor, a metal base, a metal barrel with a 1/4" thick rubber barrel liner for quiet operation, a metal barrel sealing lid held in place by six wingnuts and washers, and a heavy-duty rubber gasket for a seal between the metal barrel and the metal lid to prevent any leaking, an easy opening metal lid, a long-life red powder coat paint job, and should last for many years. Starting tumbling at Step 1 using course grit, you will get a nice rounded shape to your rocks before you begin the polishing stages. In addition to the tumbler, I'll also send along a separate USPS Large Priority Box filled with about 30-40 lbs of rough tumbling rock of various kinds, different size grit, different types of polish, small and large size ceramic media, and several extra motor belts. Price per tumbler is $OLD plus shipping cost (which depends on where you live). If you have any questions or want to see any more pictures please contact me.          |

I don't need (or have space for) two Model B's, but I'll take one.

gatorflash1 Please mark this as sold when the transactions complete. Congrats on the sales- I knew they wouldn't last long! Will do boss! What I'm doingf is wrapping everything up and taking the box to the post office to see what the shipping cost is. Once I have that I'll send the prospective buyer an invoice. This is not a quick process as you know. All the best! |

Buyer Beware I have never said one derogatory thing about or to anyone on this forum But this smells like BullSheet to me!!!! I sent a PM right in line after gemfreak95 he inquired about the rotory, I was asking about the vibe, where the vibe was being shipped from so I would have a idea of the shipping price which I did lookup and got a rough idea. Tommy could probably look and tell you if I am telling the truth about whether I sent a PM. I hate lyres and don’t believe in those who do a lyre and thief go hand and hand. Apparently you can’t copy and paste a PM however I did give him my email asking how do I pay? PayPal? That was in the morning of the 5th Then tonight I got an email this is it Cheers from the UV-18 guy Its me. I've been busy selling my house so didn't get back to you as soon as I should have. Please accept my apologies. Doug Then I sent this Not a problem I was beginning to wonder if you were playing with fireworks and they didn’t go off as intended So have got a deal? Sent from my iPhone On Jul 6, 2021, at 8:54 PM, Douglas Gordon If you don’t want to sell them say so don’t jerk us around by popping in and out for a day or two with nothing to say. Like sold Not sold Change in plans not selling now I am too dam old for childish sissy little kids games I wouldn’t take the thing if you gave it to me I would be to worried you stole it. This is not the way to conduct business I want the rest you that are interested in this equipment to know how this business deal has gone so far for me. Yes I am a little pissed after returning my email asking do we have a deal. No Response it’s now 11:32pm Really you couldn’t take 2 minutes to respond just left me hanging. I would think twice before sending this person any money So Doug I am done with your games just go sell your house if you even own one!!! I'm sorry you are disappointed by my responses. This is not a business for me and I'll send the info about the total cost as soon as possible. I'm busy during the day with the family move priorities and not on the computer watching for messages. I apologize for any confusion I have called and will contact you with the details as soon as possible which should be within the next couple of days. |

Tommy could probably look and tell you if I am telling the truth about whether I sent a PM. The answer is a flat no, period. On the Proboards forum platform administrators have zero access to member private messages unless they are included in the conversation and this is the way it should be. I used to run a phpBB forum back in the day and such privacy measures did not exist and it was a constant source of suspicion and turmoil. This is also an example of why the selling guidelines state: "All transactions are strictly between the buyer and seller and the forum is not responsible for the outcome of any transaction conducted publicly or privately, nor can the forum staff intervene if a transaction goes bad.It's super unfortunate that communication broke down like this and folks are feeling wronged and offended, but in my opinion it's bad etiquette to air private messages in public without mutual consent. There is nothing any of us can say or do to rectify the situation for either one of you and all this does is stir the pot. |

I've sent out some invoices for the Vib and one of the Mod B's. If these sales go through as planned I'll have one model B left and will contact potential buyers. Thanks to all for their patience. It appears our house has been sold. The closing date looms!
I still have ONE THUMLER'S TUMBLER MODEL B left. I'll also send a free box of rocks, etc. with buyer only paying shipping.

Thanks for posting that picture. It is sad that folks would get so upset about a rock tumbler. Oh well. I have one model B left to sell and if anyone wants a $50 dollar box of rocks and grit and media (which includes the Large Box Priority shipping) to use when they tumble I have several of the boxes, the USPS Large Priority Box,. If they don't sell I don't know what I'll do with them. The rapids of the White Clay Creek State Park, Delaware, may be the lucky receipients of them. A rock hound looking at rocks in the rapids will get very confused by all the jasper, agate, tigers eye, etc. along with some partially tumbled rocks he finds.

I purchased the Ultra Vibe 18 from [mention]gatorflash1 [/mention] and I’m a happy camper. I had to leave town right after it arrived to it’s new home, but I unboxed it yesterday and found it to be in excellent condition, just as advertised. It was well packed for the shipment across the country. It’s already in action in my garage.
Added to the shipment was an interesting mix of rocks to feed this new tumbler. There is some interesting material in there that I’ve barely had time to look at.
