SELLING A PLEO RB ON EBAY. ONLY TURNED ON 3 TIMES. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PLEO. BRIGHT GREEN WITH BLUE EYES. http://cgi.ebay.ca/PLEO-RB-RE-BORN-ROBOTIC-DINOSAUR-/290526844991?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item43a4bfd83f#ht_1052wt_1141

Hi, just wondering why are you selling him? I did see the add on Ebay before you annouonced it here, Is it by any chance because of the blue eyes, and you are waiting for the Next batch to arrive in April or so? Just curious? Thanks and good luck. RedwoodsMama
-
I just checked out your ebay add, you might want to consider changing it as it says in your add that pleo rb can be reset to go back to the beginning of Hatching stage. There is no way to reset a pleo rb back to the beginning of hatching. Once a pleo rb has been used you can't start again.
I also wonder why you are selling your rb? Wasn't this one a replacement for your 2009 pleo that was broken? Did you manage to sell your 2009 pleo with the clicking foot? Just curious.
-
Thanks, I updated the ad to reflect that it can't be re-set. I did manage to sell my old Pleo. I did get this one from Innvo, without even knowing it was coming. There is nothing wrong with the Pleo RB, I just don't turn it on enough. I am not interested enough in it to play with it all the time; it won't get used here at my house so it may as well go somewhere where it will be played with.
-
FWIW: there is a way of resetting a PleoRB back to a pre-newborn state. It requires an SD card and a little work.
It is a little more complicated than the old Pleos. The PleoRB has some built in "DNA" settings (including gender, courage and intelligence) that you don't want to be wiped out.
But overall you aren't missing much IMHO. The hatchling phases are far too long already.
(Geek note: also there appears to be a special RFID 'Cheat Card' handled in the software - if you wave this in front of Pleo's nose it will revert it back to newborn -- probably not something Innvo will be selling)
-
BACK to NEWBORN!! :o :o :o :o :o
Probably not something I'd be buying, either!! ;) :D
-
PRICE REDUCED
-
I'm kinda tempted to bid for this Pleo. That's great that the price got reduced.
-
I was wavering as well! ;) Go on - you know you want to!! ;) ;D
-
I hope you found a new place for that handsome Pleo! I would've loved to have had it. I've seen pictures of it. That'd be a loveable Pleo to have. I like its yellow body. But I got a better price offer. I took that guy's Pleo.

-
Wow, that's a big price reduction.
-
Yes, it is a good price reduction, but with the problems a lot of the first batch of Pleo Rb have been having with skin, etc, I don't think I want to risk going through the same thing I have gone through with Baby. I am sure someone will jump at the chance to own or buy this Pleo Rb, esp since there are no others right now at PleoWorld, I do want a Pleo Rb without the typical blue eyes that the older Ugobe ones have though, even it this Pleo Rb was buy it now for $200.00, I would have to pass because of the possible skin or other problems and I want a Pleo Rb with different eyes, For someone who doesnt have as many Pleos as I have, the eye color won't matter.
I bet your Pleo for sale goes fast now and it is the only Pleo Rb listed on ebay . I have been watching for several weeks and this is the only one. Good luck.

Geez, if I had the money, I'd snap up any Pleo Reborn at $200! @_@ I'd borrow money, to be able to do so! I like the brighter, colorful eyes too. Like the rare white-eyed and pink-eyed Pleos.
-
I've been watching it too, but I think the shipping is putting off buyers outside the US as she's offering surface mail (6-8 weeks) only. CanadaPost seems really complicated! ???
-
Yeah it can't even figure out shipping for me so I sent a message.. but now with the pre-orders opened I wonder what will happen. I have no clue what kind of price it would be to send to me in NY from Canada or if there is some sort of fee or waiting period like some countries seem to have. Must be those blonde highlights I have.. %) %) :D

-
$42 for shipping to you Sarah.
-
I will calculate shipping for anyone if they message me. Also, if you want air mail or expedited I can give you a quote for that too, but I am offering surface because for a box that size it is the cheapest. Remember I am including a brand new unopened set of training leafs and clothing with this pleo (that is still in the hatching stage and only turned on about 4 times).
-
Bah! I know I asked but.. you had to tell me.. now I have to decide whether or not I want my bf to kill me... Thanks very much for the info :)

-
Silly Latrine. Think about it Latrine. lol I messaged you on Ebay Ashaw! I'm curious about the shipping cost in my area. Even with pre-orders now, her Pleo's cheaper.
-
I'm tempted too, but shipping to the UK will probably be huuuuuge. I can't cope with waiting for surface mail, either! :D
-
Wow, $50 shipping to me.
-
Looks like it sold? Hope it all goes through OK! :D
-
Yeah, I was looking into that today. I checked 20 minutes before it would've gone without anyone bidding again for it. Whoever bought it bought it like 2 minutes before the bidding went out! O.O I was gonna suggest that Ashaw has to make it cheaper.
-
I was watching it .............. slightly tempted .............. %)
OH would have killed me! :P
-
I was watching it too. Didn't bid. My DH would have killed me as well! :P I always wait until the last minute as well to bid. Once you bid, it gets everyone else bidding as well! :'(
-
I'm a last-second-sniper too! ;D
OH had me in an armlock, just to make sure! :P
-
lol Both of you, sillies. Argh, at your other half Crewella! >_< Did you buy it Latrine?
-
I hope someone on this forum got him so that we can hear how he is doing! Does anyone remember what his original name was? Anyway, I am an ebay last second snatcher. I did get a dino on ebay yesterday, but not the RB. My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves dinosaurs, thanks to a pubic television series by the Jim Henson Co. called "Dinosaur Train" It involves Buddy the T-rex and Tiny the Pteranadon, who are brother and sister and ride the Dinosaur Train to meet all other species of dinosaurs. Anyway, they now make the action figures of all these characters, and on the back of the package, they happen to show all the other ones that they make, that you don't have....basically so your kid can drive you nuts until they have them all! Needless to say, we don't have the "Old Spinosaurus." Guess where the only one available in the world is? ON EBAY!!! I grabbed it at the last 5 seconds from some poor unsuspecting soul who was willing to pay way too much for is as well. They probably have a screaming child now, and I feel badly about that. I also feel bad for the Spinosaurus, who is going to have to attend tea parties when he arrives here. ;) Anyway, sorry to hijack this thread.....if you bought the RB, and you are out there....give us a shout!!! ;D
-
I've a lovely mental picture of poor 'Old Spinosaurus' sitting grumpily at his compulsory tea party! :D :D
I believe the RB's original name was Rhaegal? :-\
-
Oh what a nice name! Just wondering if I could use it. I'm ordering this week. It sounds so strange to think of myself sharing space with a pleo. It still feels like someone else's dream that I'm just looking into.

Nope.. wasn't me..
I actually think I'm going to get a pink one. I want the interaction and so I want a definite girl. Don't know where to go though.. gimmidigi screwed me over bad with that one blue one and folks were saying accessory jack was no good? Where do I go ? :/ .... I'm nuts what with them breaking.. I just can't stand it..if bingo IS ok he needs someone to play with if he can't play with the ugobes in the herd :(
my bf is going to kill me.. I'm not saying ANYTHING until it gets here... maybe he'll just hit me in the head with a brick and send it back but more likely he'll sigh.. tell me I'm crazy and hide my money from me. :D
- Sarah
-
Shshsh. We won't tell. So Bingo is alright now? I was kind of worried about him.

OH? Is Gimmedigi not a good site to buy from then?
-
I think Gimmedigi is ok to buy from. Most forum members who purchased from them are very happy with the product and the level of service. There have been a couple of members who purchased from them that had issues - One was sent a prototype pleo rb that wasn't actually a rb, Innvo resolved this issue for her by sending her a replacement and getting her to send the prototype one back. The other was a pink rb that came pre hatched and also ended up with holes in the armpits (Innvo seems to have resolved the skin issues of the first batch and all new pleos seem to be free from skin issues), Gimmedigi were very slow to respond to this members queries on the matter. It took them more than a month and many emails from her and a post on the forum before Gimmedigi got back to her but the did successfully resolve her issue with a replacement pleo. All others who have bought from them have had very good response times to queries and no one else has made negative comment. So overall I think they are a good place to buy a pink or blur rb. I would happily use them if I was making another purchase.
Hope this helps.

I was very happy with the service from Gimmedigi. :)
-
Splendid. Because they're actually cheaper there than on Pleoworld.
-
Indeed. Sadly they don't have the varied eye colors the green Pleo Reborns have.

I got good service from Gimmedigi and am very happy with my pink pleo. No, sadly they do not have different colored eyes, but I do think that the deep blue eyes goes very well with the pink colored skin. :)
-
Just looking at Ebay.....a very dangerous thing! This Pleo is up for sale again. I thought someone bid at the last minute! I was tempted, but knew DH would kill me! The other sale must have fallen through. Ends in about 20 hours. I hope my computer gets a virus before then! :-X
-
Eeeeeeek - another evening sitting on my hands!! :o
If it wasn't for the dreadful deal on shipping to the UK I'd have succumbed by now! :P
-

Nor do they apparently come with all the add-ons the regular RBs come with, like the learning stone and the mint leaf and stuff.
-
Yes they do - the only thing missing is the cape, otherwise the basic pack contents for the pink and blue RBs are the same. :)

I don't think sitting on my hands is going to help me. I might have to take my computer apart or have my DH change my ebay password to something I don't know. HELP!!!! :o
-
That's sad that whoever bid and won the Pleo Reborn it didn't work out somehow.

Cos that would be great news for my bank account. Gimmedigi's shipping is considerably cheaper for the UK, and it's not April pre-order either. Plus, that blue Pleo RB kinda reminds me of Littlefoot from the Land Before Time movies.
-
Hi fimo - love that owl! :D
That was the reason I got Belle from Gimmedigi in the first place - you got the same as for the green except the cape, it was actually cheaper (though not a lot) the postage was cheaper, and on top of that the the import duty and VAT you will be charged as it enters the UK will be less from China than it would be from the US. Added to the fact that I really wanted one with amber eyes and all the blue have ........guess what ......... amber eyes! SOLD!!!! %) :P
Belle arrived within the week (would have been quicker if not for the dastardly Customs & Excise >:() with all her accessories in separate boxes but all wrapped together. ;D
