eBay My World: marvin6051( 65)

Hello from Ammonia Man!I am a Self-employed person in Northern Colorado.I am single,57 years young,and have a 25 year old son,Bryan Adams-like the singer!I am a mad scientist of sorts-I'm off into R&D now,engineering my own fabulous cooling unit.

I sell new and rebuilt Propane refrigerators and freezers and Ammonia absorption cooling units of all brands and sizes, and I also work on special refrigeration projects.I also sell interesting machinery, (unless it's so unique and useful that I will keep it for myself).

I buy motors, pumps, instrumentation, process control and electronics. I Also buy TIG welders, plasma cutters, tube benders and hydraulics, induction heaters, (I stay broke you see!).If I had a wife she'd divorce me for such self indulgant spending sprees!

I love to accumulate Propane refrigerator parts and accessories, e.g., shelves, racks, electronic and manual thermostat controls, I also hunt for valuable items at scrap yards such as military surplus, high power electronics, (things an individual simply couldn't afford or obtain through normal channels as lots of it is OEM, Government surplus, or custom engineered research equipment).It goes on-and -on what I find daily-you'd be amazed at the exotic equipment you can find at the recycling centers for pennies on the dollar!So-I'm a junk yard junkie you see-and even though I get thousands of dollars worth of goodies for practically nothing;I can barely eat each month!I am blissfully happy to admire all my stuff!

English, Spanish

Building electronic projects, rummaging through junk yards, (a form of moving Zen extacy for me), going to garage sales and flea markets, playing Tabla, (Indian)drums, (not very well, mind you!), hiking in the mountains, (during the summer only), traveling to interesting and exotic locals when I can afford such trips.

Discovery, Nova, sci-fi, horror, comedy, drama, documentary, and history channels.

I am a self-motivated person with an out-going and gregarious and generous attitude.I believe in the middle path,all things in moderation.I hate hypocricy,untrustworthiness,and laziness though, as I have high honor and always follow through on what I promise.I am quite tolerate of others and have a good deal of empathy.I love to travel when I can,especially to Amsterdam,Holland,(twice already), and central Europe.I plan on going to Rio De janeiro Brazil in my lifetime,and also to places in India and probably Bangkok,Thialand.I have also visited Japan and Guadalajara,Mexico,and I'd like to go to Cancun,Mexico, in the winter time.I am a baby-boomer,(and apparently a late bloomer in life),and also stuck in the '60's mode of thinking,(whatever you do,do it well,but don't harm anyone else in the process).The Greek's called it arete'.I have much to do quickly!I believe in the holy trinity-a person must have honor,a sense of humor,and a good personality or they're not worth knowing!

I have worked in the Merchant Marines,as a galley hand on oil rigs, as an electronics technician and as a maintenance mechanic.I also have worked as staff at Angola State Prison in Louisiana.

I generally use Paypal for payments.I will accept a money order or cash of course, if for some reason Paypal isn't used.I accept checks only for local customers I can verify.

Shipping is based on zip-code,size and weight of merchandise.I always get a shipping quote for a prospective customer before they make the purchase so there are no unpleasant surprizes.

I have a one or two years warranty on refrigerators or cooling units. There is no warranty for control boards or thermostats.Warranties are voided for improper installation/usage and improper gas pressure from regulators.Any other machinery,electronics sold on ebay are sold as-is with no return policy except for shipping damages.

I will give you my personal phone numbers and email address once you contact me through ebay if you have a question about ebay merchandise or win the bid.

I genuinely try to help people with their refrigerator needs.I freely give troubleshooting advise to those who need it.I often barter with those who are financially limited.Refrigerators are like light bulbs and toilet paper;you take them for granted until you notice your'e out of them!How many people in life do you know who don't have a refrigerator?That's an amazing small thought.Now adays people are shifting back to this old technology to be free of the utility system.No more unpleasant surprizes with your utility bill-pay up NOW or we will cut you off!Utility companies are sort of a monopoly you see,they know they have you by your private parts,those bills are like waves on the beach,they are relentless and never cease! Not to scare you,it appears that our planet is rebelling,(according to my NASA physicist friends),and you better party-up hard now and try to not have so many off-spring as there isn't a pretty picture ahead,(water world),the planet will hiccup and let us all go!
