BRAUN CHAIR TOPPER IS ON EBAY for $.99

I figured I'd post a new thread just in case someone is interested.

Here's the link to ebay. It goes off soon.

Obviously the seller no longers needs this item and doens't want to make a profit. You have to go to Indiana to pick it up.

Hope someone makes some use of this.

It's a great deal!!!

Hi MelodyL,

I checked the site out and also the seller's other items. This person seems to be a collector of many things so I don't think this seller is the person who used it. It appears to be just one of the items that they are selling. It does seem like a good deal for someone who wants one. Not sure how they are installed or anything. Just my opinion

Kitt

This is what I think. If the guy has excellent feedback and is a seller on ebay, this Braun Chair topper might have been used by a family member who no longer has need of it.

So he's just doing a nice thing by having someone bid and come and pick it up. I mean the thing sells on the internet for something like $4,000. This is a piece of machinery believe me.

I googled it and I actually saw a demonstration. They have a car with this Braun thing on top of it. The thing comes down and puts the wheelchair down. Then it grabs the wheelchair and folds it and puts it on top of the car.

Absolutely amazing. I do hope somebody can take advantage of this if they live near where this guy is selling it.

be well

Yes, I think it is a great thing he is doing. I actually have seen one of these in operation. It was amazing how they work. A very good thing to have for someone who needs it. I know about feedback and his appears to be good. I believe the guy who has the bid is a collector of many things as well. Hopefully, it will get to a person who can really use one.

Just looked now and he has two bids now - $10.58. Will be interesting to see what it goes for

Mel, Kitt, that demo almost does it justice...

I started to get in my car and look at the car parked in front of me and well, my eyes kind of popped. The wheelchair was in some kind of harness/hydraulic lift RISING up and then just gently folding over sideways into this turtle top. No clang, bang, jingle...just a hum and whirr. I just HAD TO GO and ask, and the lady was pleased to tell me it's virtues, only drawback was the cost, apparently. Now, that problem's solved...sort of.

Tho not [if I can help it] expecting to need such a thing soon, I've kind of been 'searching' out what's there. A prep for the overall sticker shock should the time come.. This was kind of sensible, and you don't need to shop for a van, either. Well, you get the drift.

Now, if you folks can find me a sort-of 'foot-sensor' pad...something that tells me my foot is square on the accelerator or brake...that'll do me for now.

Good thoughts and things to you all! - j

Dahlek:

You know me!!! If such an item as a foot sensor pad thingee exists, I'LL FIND ONE FOR YA!!!!

love, mel

Braun Chair Topper

Dahlek, I know what you are saying. My eyes popped too;) It was something to see for real, with my own eyes; happening in the parking lot. Really :cool:

If I ever run across a foot sensor type thing, I will sure post it. That would be nice for anyone who needs it as well. Have a good day:)

Kitt

Well...somebody got it for $10.50 !!
(TEN dollars and Fifty cents!!)
:) :D :D :cool:

Congradulations!!!! But I bid $10.51 for it. (just kidding). It is great that one of us needing it was able to get it.

To Dahlek: Foot Sensor Pad Thingeee

Guess what!!!

There is such a thing!!! well almost!!! A guy from NASA is doing research in diabetics and foot ulcers, etc. and he's invented this sensor pad thing.

I researched it and while it's not exactly what you are looking for NOW!!!, it is a thing that people place their feet on and it uses sensor cells to transmit messages exactly where the feet are placed. See where I'm headed here???

Don't laugh at me but I contacted the guy at NASA and asked him if there is any research anywhere (maybe even at NASA), to enable people with neropathy to "feel" where they place their feet while they are driving. I explained the whole neuropathy thing.

There is also an option if a person drives all the time and can't use the pedals, they can have their car adapted using hand brakes, etc.

I told Alan a long time ago to have his car adapted so he could continue to drive. He looked at me like I was out of my mind.

What do I expect from a guy who won't try on new glasses??? He's actually going to adapt his car??? oh yeah, that's going to happen, right!!!!!!!!

so if the guy from NASA responds and gives me any information, I'll pass it on.

wouldn't it be a hoot if such a product exists???

take care,
