Here is an 8 inch tall battery operated robot.

He is very old and I am assuming that he does not work anymore, but I think if the right person took a look at him he could terrorize the world once again.

I fell in love with him the first time I saw him and probably paid too much for him, but that is my problem.

There is just something about him that I find myself mesmerized by his odd looks.

If you look deep inside from inside the place where the battery goes, it is evident that he has numerous moving metal parts to him.

The inside works of him looks very good and in my opinion appears to be in good working order.

What I am trying to say is rust and corrosion looks to be just on the outside.

The only missing parts are ½ of one side of one hand and one side of his ear muff.

The only things that are not metal are his beady eyes and the 4 tiny wheels underneath which are completely there and are driven by the rear two because they are slotted like a gear unlike the front two which are smooth.

 The legs are pinned on the bottom and also have ample room to move at the hips.

I will bet he really walks like a true robot.

He has kept me company on my desk for quite some time, but if he could talk, I am sure he would like to be in a collection of other robots so if you are the winning bidder please give my friend a good home.

I will vouch for him that he is a good companion and always makes people smile.

I will package him well so he arrives safely and also insure him for free.

His name is Rob.

I told him he was going to a new home and I can't swear to it, but I think he smiled!

A: I have no problem with anyone buying something from me outside the US as long as the buyer will reimburse me the extra cost for their preferred shipping method. I have to do it this way for outside the US because I sold 8... Continue reading
