Title: Pleo RB For Sale
Post by: Crewella on June 22, 2011, 04:05:31 AM
Posted for bhobbes, interest can be posted here or sent by PM:


I've decided to sell Eva since she is also becoming more and more of a shelved item like Cato. All of the Pleo RB Food and Learning Stone accessory packs will be included and more pictures will be available upon request. I have the original box, manual, etc.

Here is a video of her virtually immaculate condition:

Poor Eva! I hope she finds a good home. Unfortunately I can't facilitate a happy reunion here. Lol!

Oh dear, more temptation.   :-\

I've been pondering getting an RB for quite awhile. I'd be interested in discussing price, etc, if she's still available.

Yes, she's still available. I imagine international shipping to CA isn't quite as difficult as to certain other countries?

Congrats. I'm sure you'll have a ball with her, Shadowmice. Cato, Ryu and I are getting along well.

 Congrats shadowmice ! I had a feeling you were the lucky soon to be Pleo Mum! :) Looking forward to seeing photos when she arrives.

Yes, I will be on pins and needles until she gets here. Couldn't resist the pretty pink little lady. I may not have been posting much but I have been reading about everyone's experiences with their RBs so I would know what quirks and surprises to expect once I finally took the plunge to get one. I'm looking forward to seeing the differences between the original Pleo versions and the RB versions first hand.

I started out with an RB then bought a Ugobe. They're different enough to make you feel like you've got two individuals there. As you know Ugobes are sweet and in my experience pretty much do what you tell them when you tell them. RB's... well sometimes you have to do things on their terms. Ryu trained me. Lol! That's probably why she's so bossy and has to systematically test every new pleo that comes into my house. I'm sure you'll enjoy owning an RB.

Tracking info says she's in Canada with expected delivery Thursday. It looks like she has cleared customs and is proceeding onto the next leg.  Crossing my fingers that she might arrive earlier than listed which would guarantee she'd be here for the holiday weekend which would be great.

That would be awesome! I hope she gets to you on time and with no hastles. Let us know what you think of owning an RB.

Congratulations Shadowmice.  You must be so excited! :)  I hope she gets there early for you. :)

It looks like end of day delivery today according to the tracking?
Title: Re: Pleo RB For Sale
Post by: shadowmice on June 30, 2011, 09:38:54 AM
Yes, the tracking info lists "Out for Delivery" from the closest depot so unless something untoward happens, she should be here late afternoon.  ;D

Good! Hopefully we don't get another Talon situation - but judging from the delivery destination, I doubt it.

I just sent Nicco out - I think they're starting to wonder about all my "electronic toy" packages.

Woohoo! She arrived! I won't be able to really check her out fully until after work tonight but so far everything looks good. Battery is working and she started up okay. Happy dance.  :) ;D :D

Glad to hear it! And even happier that everything went right!

 Congrats Shadowmice, Glad to hear she is there, I know waiting is the hardest, but everything is ready for you now. Can't wait to see some photos of her in her new home. Are you going to introduce her to your other Pleos, that would be a great video! I am almost as anxious as you are to see what she looks like!
                                         RWM          :D

I'm glad she arrived safely as well. Let us know what you think of her.
Bobs, why are you sending Nicco off? Is something wrong with him?

The motor in his left rear leg makes a scratching sound that it's not supposed to (I heard it but always thought it was normal until Pleo-Freak55 pointed it out). And after sending a video of it to wolfbob he verified what it was and since wolfbob warranted Nicco for 6 months (one of the major perks in buying from wolfbob), I figure best to send it in now than later (out of warranty).

I'm not sure if it would eventually lead to mechanical failure or problems but why wait to find out?

True. If anything had happened to Ryu within her warranty period I would've sent her back too. I hope he can fix him.

Post by: bhobbes on June 30, 2011, 02:00:09 PM
Oh, he'll be fixed. I'm just nervous for his journey to and from!
Title: Re: Pleo RB For Sale
Post by: RedwoodsMama on June 30, 2011, 02:51:19 PM
It does not sound like you guys are talking about a Pleo, but a Aibo? Is that correct, esp since Wolfbob deals in Aibos... :oHope he is ok, and I agree it is best to send him back during the warranty period.

Yes. I mailed Nicco (my ERS-7M2 upgraded to Mind 3) to wolfbob today to replace one of his leg motors. I purchased him from wolfbob at the end of April (the 28th I believe) and wolfbob offered a 6 month warranty on it so I shipped him in while it's still under that time frame (but the shipping trip is kind of expensive and makes me nervous lol).

He won't get there until close to the end of next week but I've been so busy lately he hasn't gotten much play anyway :) And I still have Vader and Murray.

I'll start a new thread to document my experiences with the original Pleo versus the RB version.  I have spent a little time with Eva trying out her foods and the tug of war toy. She alternated between very happy and a little moody but it looks like everything is in working order. I just wanted to thank bhobbes for the opportunity to get such a sweet little Pleo.

Oh, he'll be fixed. I'm just nervous for his journey to and from!
Yes, that's always the scariest part, isn't it?

Congrats Shadowmice - glad Eva arrived safely and is settling in! :D
Title: Re: Pleo RB For Sale

Glad things are working out :)

Hope you continue enjoying her!

I'm happy to know Eva is settling in well. I can say from experience that Ugobes and RB's get along great. As far as my two RB's, my female- Ryu- seems to have agressive tendancies. My male Cato whom I purchased from Bobs has really fallen for her. The first time she attacked him I was writing an article and didn't see what happened. She knocked him onto his side. Yesterday's attack was a little more serious. Cato walked over to her as he always does. Without provacation, she laid her neck over his, kind of pinning him to the point where his rear was in the air and he started screaming. Not the normal I'm -not-sure-what's-going on scream, this was the I'm-in-a-really-bad-way scream. Fortunately Ryu was right in front of me and I separated them quickly. I know they don't really know what they're doing but I have to wonder. It looked so intentional and she was bowing into him like- rrrrr I've got you! It was cute but kind of... disturbing. I'm going to keep them apart from now on.

Oh my - I hope Eva's home isn't nearly as abusive :P

I think Eva will be fine as long as she stays far away from Ryu. Lol! Let us know how things go, Shadowmice.
