I received the second and last lot of tops in consignment from Salvador. Notice that the tops remaining from the first lot are also for sale (see below.)
JumbosI received 40 Jumbos with custom tips by Salvador. These large tops have not been available for at least 10 or 15 years. But their interest is not as collectibles but as players. Each one has a tip custom made for Salvador. However, the tips vary in size: the neck can be as small as 2.6mm or as big as 4.6mm, most being in the 3.2 to 3.7 mm range (if ordering more than one I'll try to include different examples.) These are the same tops he used in inventing all those regenerations and the ones he uses on the videos and on his street performances. He swears by them. I am keeping 6 of the 40 and the rest are for sale at $15 each. They don't come with string but many have button and ring.
Turbo bearing, Topdog styleThis was the first generation of Mexican bearing tops. Transluscent green, transluscent orange, clear and solid black. I have plenty of these. They come with string, button, ring and replacement tip shell. The price is $15 each.
Turbo second generationThe second generation of bearing tops, have also been discontinued for several years. They are beautiful and according to Salvador the colored ones are almost impossible to find.
The cost of these is $20 each each (no string or button). However, because I have very few of the colored ones (Azteca, Ultra and Zoo), there will be a limit of 1 per person on those (but I am keeping a few more for trades . . .) Of the solid black Turbo Profesional I have plenty (26) so there is no limit. So, for example, you can order a Turbo Azteca and a Turbo Profesional, or a Turbo Ultra and 2 Turbo Profesionals, but not a Turbo Ultra and a Turbo Zoo.
The deal for the "regular" tops hasn't changed (except for shipping costs): $6 in single quantities and decreasing prices in quantity up to "wholesale" price of $4.50 each. By the way, Salvador did send me 10 more of the beautiful Cobras and a couple of Aliens. Also on this group are the newly available Spider,
Atomic and Estelaris (I already got a request for the Atomic and for one of the two Aliens). I recommend looking at my
virtual museum as I have updated most (but not all) of the pictures.
US Priority mail shipping costs are $5 for up to 6 tops, $7 for up to 12 tops, $9 for up to 18 tops, $11 for more.
I accept any legal method of payment except US bonds
If you pay with Paypal (top*at*ta0.com) I recommend you select "personal payment" (no goods or services) and you may save me the Paypal fee (but also send mi your address as Paypal won't give it in that case). You can also pay with personal checks, etc, etc.
My wife is going on vacation March 1st and leaving me alone with the kids for two weeks (I owe her for the Eurotop tour), and then we are leaving to join her in Uruguay for the next two weeks. Fulfilling the orders takes a long time, so I will only do one batch shipment before leaving. My idea is to do it the first week of March. Those who do not order by then will have to wait until April.
Thanks!
