I had a couple boxes of Artin track stored away and got them out for an inventory last week. It's not anything I will ever use and so I will offer it here. Here is the appx. inventory. I pretty sure the count is correct.
Power pack and 4 controllers. Instruction paper for the 4 lane oval.
35 straights 6-1/2 straights
4 lane terminal track
22 - #1 curves 28 - #2 curves
4 - 1/2 #2 curves 16 - #3 curves
16 - #4 curves 16 - #4 outer aprons
4 - #1 banked curves 8 - #1 aprons and 2 end aprons
Appx 150 pcs. All track is good condition or better. About 6-8 pieces are painted gray. One curve has a piece missing about as big as a quarter and I noticed one piece of track had a crack in it. I am into it for about $150 and would be happy to get that out of it. I will trade, but only for some vintage 1/24 cars that might be worth about the same amount. Buyer pays shipping at cost, Son in law tells me he can ship with a business rate that might help a little.

Matt,
What do you estimate the shipping to 21403, Annapolis, MD.
I have to speak with my track manager. Beg is more like it.
Due to the weather I have had to use my Artin track on the last race. It rained before the race for two days. I don't have a covered truck to carry the routed track.

Frank I can only guess that it would be $35-$50. I will box it all up sometime the next week and get some post estimates thru UPS. That is what my son in law uses and said I could get his business discount. Md is probably not real bad, not like California!
I am in Indiana so we are kind of close. I'll get back to you next week. Is that time frame OK.

Matt,
That gives me a little time to get a crowbar in the wife's wallet.

Matt:
I was waiting for the pics of the track from you via PM from our previous discussion; and here they are. I don't want to get into a bidding war with Frank for the whole batch. He's a pard. So how about selling me 18 straights and 8 R3 and 8 R4 curves with 180 degrees of R4 borders?

Matt:
That amount of track I am intererested in should be easily shipped in a small Wal Mart cardboard box weighing perhaps 10 or so pounds.

I prefer to sell the track as a lot and not part here and part there. viejoronnie was the first guy to inquire about it, so he has first chance to buy the lot if he wants it. I think that is fair to him.
I will get shipping costs Mon or Tues and put that info here. vie, I need a zip code for you. I have the zip for Frank. I am willing to split the track betweeen you two guys and ship a box to each of you if you can work out a deal between you.

Matt,
If can see fit to help Ronnie out, please do it.
I have a routed track, one under construction, and a full Artin 4 lane. I just need the two R-4 curves to complete another track.
I have to stop giving away sets (LOL).

If you guys want to buy the whole lot, I will split it up and mail two boxes. I really don't want to piece it out and have a bunch of #1 curves left and 10-20 other odd pieces of track. I prefer to sell the whole lot together.

Ronnie,
Let me know how much you want. I still have to convince the Mrs. that I have to have more Artin track.

Frank:
18 straights and 8 R3 and 8 R4 curves with 180 degrees of R4 borders. That's about a quarter of the Artin track that Matt has.
"Win, Win, Win" for everyone, as my pard at Gasmonkey Garage says.
That many straights will get me enough to host "The 2019 Texas Popsicle Proxy Slot Car Mile Speed Run". :lol:

You guys figure out how to split it and what each of you will pay and then I will box up each share and get postage costs on it.

So is Frank out now, since he found the R4 sections he was looking for?
I'll PM again.
