31 March: Price reduced to $95 - Thanks for the feedback; hopefully I am in the ballpark now. --- 29 March: Price reduced to $130 --- The rail and bag are brand new and in perfect condition. They were removed from their shipping box for the first time to take the photos. Price is $130 + shipping. I am located near Stamford, CT and would be willing to meet locally to avoid shipping. While I don't have any feedback on this site you can check my feedback on ebay (same user name ![]() ). www.ebay.com/usr/aterren

I'll a bit surprised this hasn't generated any interest. Is there something that is causing concern? These rials are completely compatible with Mafell rails (same profile) and brand new. The price is ~60% of the Mafell price which seems reasonable.
Am I missing something?

Looks like your selling the kit without the second rail and connector .

Well, that is a Bosch set so it would have had to have been imported from Europe. It just may have not been bought as that good of a deal, even though that ad is the competition in this situation.

Thanks for the candid feedback without being obnoxious. I like that about this board. I wasn't as good a shopper as some of you as Clearly I bought these from Europe but they were 116GBP + 40 GBP shipping or $340 USD for two sets.
In any case, these are surplus to my needs so I've reduced the price again but at less than $100 I should probably just keep it for a spare.

I'd guesstimate shipping to my neck of the woods from Stamford to be about $17.
If you are agreeable to slice the rail into two 800mm I'd offer 30 for one 800mm plus the shipping. Someone else can have the pretty end with the hanger hole & Bosch ink along with the two end caps. The carry bag remains with you to sell as well, an easy sell @$35.
My thinking is that everyone already has 1600's making 800's more desirable.
Selling one 800mm (no end caps) = $30 Selling one 800mm (with branding & end caps) = $45 Selling one carry case = $35
Total = $110.00

Ordering the endcaps from Europe isn't too hard either, Amazon UK and Germany have them and the shipping is very reasonable... You're looking at a few dollars over 10 USD for a set?
Also I have the holey versions of the 1600s so I'm also set too...

You can get the end caps from Timberwolf. As long as the Mafell are interchangeable.

Well, I'd say cheeky.  Personally I'd just keep it. Wait until you drop one, then you can swap it with the extra one and sell the bent one to kraftt, lol.

As long as we are being cheeky...how about $35 for a 500mm? That would be an off cut from cutting one down to fit my Festool MFT.

This is probably the best course of action...well, except dropping a rail. Since my years at a desk are making sheet goods more cumbersome, I'll probably just store a couple of rails at the shop and use it to breakdown large sheet goods before hitting the sliding table saw.
