hello all
i am a newbie but verry intrested
i am looking for an omnibot 2000 , fully working and as complete as possible
so far i tried e bay , google and a lot of other sites
but the ones that i find in good condition are verry expensive
i am willing to pay 3 - 400 dollars for a good one
if anyone has tips , hint or has one for sale .... please let me know
kind regards from belgium
Keep checking ebay, they are rare, I've been on the look out for one for about 6 months now, ebay notifies me with all omnibot listings and listings for tomy robot too so it should pick up all Omnis, I've seen about 5 go in 6 months...
There is one in the UK at the moment for £1500 buy it now, complete and never been used, both boxes and everything. There is another for auction with a low start bid but I will be surprised if it doesn't fetch at least £100 and it's got a broken arm!..
Set up saved searches in ebay and use the email me feature. Use a smartphone too and receive instant notifications of new listings. And wait.
2 using for EZB and third one for restoring it
I would keep checking on ebay,they show up alot and mostly sells for under $125
I set up saved searches and i use i IPAD to get instant updates for many robots or parts that i need.
i made not need any more omnibot 2000 for awhile unles i see a good deal
In Europe they are rare and have higher prices.
It's always a good idea to check completed listings to see a realistic price which you can expect it to go for. Good condition ones even in the US go for around $500 including shipping, if not much more than that.
and i can post my others i got too with showing price i paid
I hate people calling others liars
and sometimes you get get them ship to other countries,higher shipping
I got another for $90 about and one in good shape $125
Who called you a liar? I said you are wrong. They currently don't show up a lot for under $125 as my link clearly shows. Also bear in mind the original poster is from Belgium and should expect to pay a lot more and find a lot less for sale unless importing is an option, then taxes, duty and shipping are major issues.
THE listing you posted a link is for now ,it changes week to week or days
i see some sold for $103 and some for $70,needs repair,but if using EZB ,its not a problem ,like the broken arm,i got like it,and i cut the pices off and added my servo's to it
and another for $103 that missing the bottom,on mine i didnt use the bottom i use a vex robot kit
PLUS there is a lady seller who buys a lot of them and sells the parts ,you can see her listing,i got REMOTE for mine $15 AND CLEAR DOME for my omnibot model 5402
HE just need to keep checking the listing for it and last minute bid on it and get it at a low price ,thats how i got my very low price
I've not said you didn't get what you said. Read, understand, think then post. Again, currently they are not selling for as cheap as you have said therefore you are wrong unless you can provide links to a lot which have recently sold for under $125 and in the condition mentioned in the original post. All which have sold for less than $200 without shipping have been in very rough condition, incomplete or broken.
Where's that wall to bang my head against gone?..
and at least i dont bang my head on any wall.never ever get mad or upset
Whenever any criticism is posted you will notice it is constructive and I will not only criticise but offer solutions and/or other ways of doing things. For no other reason than to help others, make their EZ-Robot experience better and easier.
Not once have I ever made any unjustified negative comments to any one of your posts.
If you have a problem with any of my posts and believe I have broken any of the site rules bring it up with EZ-Robots. I'm done with you and have already told you that I'll not be offering any help, advise or insight to you on your projects however I will always offer help to others and correct anyone when they are wrong.
Yes, I have corrected you a number of times but only when you are wrong or have advised bad practices or unnecessary methods. If you don't want me to correct you or point out faults, errors etc. then stop being wrong. It's nothing personal and it's not just you I correct or advise on doing things another way.
I'm having nothing more to do with this argument now, I would suggest you leave it as it is but there's no point as I know you will make some kind of comment about me again - oh well.
Apologies to the original poster but I'm sure you didn't want hopes falsely lifted by incorrect information.
i dont know if they were ever sold in belgium
i have checked several sites such as e bay end local sites
the ones that i find are most of the time the omnibot and NOT the omnibot 2000
if i do find an omnibot 2000 in good or working condition than the prices sometimes go up to 1500 dollars or more
i know its a cool robot that costed original around 600 dollars
but in the end .. its still an old toy that can break easy
also, i can imagine that its alsmost impossible to find parst
so i dont want to pay more than 5 - 600 dollars for a good working one
i am handy with tools and a lot of other things
but i am not an electro wonder
so finding one that needs a lot of work is not an option
so buying 2 or 3 robots in the hope to have in the end 1 that works is also an expensive deal
and to be honnest ... i dont see how i can manage that
because also the damaged ones cost around 2 - 300 dollars
original or slightly modified .... if someone has one to sell, or know of someone, or some place where i can find one .... i would be verry thankfull
if you find one that you can repair and it stays under 600 dollars....
and you want to sell it .... contact me
kind regards in advance and for the help so far
One bad ITEM on this post he says i am wrong about the prices ,when i now how much i paid for them
JOSH sold me one on ebay very cheap clean and in good condition At $100 and bought other little higher and lower.
omnibot 2000 complete with remote
2 days left at $202 may be the seller can ship to you will be may be much less then $400 with shipping and custom fee's,and if you ask the buyer to ship as a gift and give a lower amount the custom fee,s would be much less ,and have him remove the battery for lower shipping cost ,since most likely its bad over all thses years
also belgium is nice place place ,i was there a little while ago
i had 2 1/2 months there and in london and most of england and france
i buy alot and alot of robots and bid at them at the last minute to get the lowest price
My Omni2000
i boght one cheap it was all apart and every piece was there and in good shape
I could easy put it back together and made a working omnibot,but instead i will clean it and get it ready for another EZB robot project

Over here (in the UK) they go for around £100-150 on ebay with controller, tray etc. The more damaged they are the lower it goes obviously, and no controller drops it still. The last one which actually sold on eBay went for about £35 but had a few big cracks and was very yellow.
Broken arm may be a slight issue but repairable I'm sure. It depends on how much the postage would be, if you can find out (to GL504SP) or if close enough I can always collect. I've sent you an email, feel free to reply to it if you'd rather not discuss on here.
It's been in a darkened cupboard for over 20 years and was in mint condition when I put it in there. It won't charge up though now so I suspect the battery needs replacing.
After reading this forum I've popped it on ebay as its not doing any good sat in a cupboard under the stairs.
@samanddud thanks for the heads up, what's the reserve on it though? I'm still looking for one of these and have some cash left over from the recent car purchase that I may spend on more robots.
I have put it on with a reserve of £200.
I think the listing closes on Sunday.
No idea where the tray has gone mind!
Cheers,
Sam
The smaller Omnibots are around £50 although noticed one hitting over £100 without a box at the moment, which is making me toy with the idea of selling one of mine since I want to finish the 2 bots I've started before starting a third.
I have just put a new battery in it and it lights up perfectly during startup. You can hear the gears engaging too. However
1) the remote, which lights up as well, doesn't seem to be able to control it.
2) I can't find the 6v charger, and
3) one of the battery contacts that controls the LCD screen has broken off due to time.
Any thoughts on how I can get it working again?
I have also considered selling it, but don't wish to pay Ebay's seller fees, despite knowing that I probably will have to at some point if I do sell.
