From a Posting on Pyrofan:
My pyro days are behind me and I’m looking to Sell my equipment. Asking $8,500 for everything, which is currently located in Oklahoma. All tubes are racked. I can also pretty much hand you the keys to an annual show with a $10k budget. Here is what I have:
(12) 18 M Modules 3.0.3 All “A”
(1) 18 R Remote
(1) 18 R2 Pro Remote
(1) Audio Box
(1) Armored Case For 18M
(13) Antenna Extenders
Wireless Reprogrammer
Tubes/Racks
(144) 2.5"
(240) 3"
(200) 4"
(60) 5"
(60) 6"
The Cobra gear is in 100% working order. Used them in 5 shows. They could use a minor cleaning, but they function perfectly. Like most, we added racks as we could, sometimes accepting them as payment for shows so we have some from Rainbow some from AM And some we made ourselves. As a result the configuration is not consistent. Here are the configurations:
Rack Inventory
2.5” = (12) 12 shot racks totaling 144
3” = (6) 5 shot racks, (22??) 9/10 shot racks totaling 240 the exact number of racks may be off a couple
4” = (19) 4 shot racks, (8) 8 shot racks, (6) 10 shot racks totaling 200
5” = (10) 6 shot racks totaling 60, at least 1 is damaged
6” = (3) 5 shot racks and (7) 6 shot racks and (3) steel tubes totaling 60
8" = (9) I think, could be off a couple either way
Combo = (2) racks each made up of (1) 6”, (2) 5” and (2) 4”
The 3" 5 shot racks and 4" 4 shot racks are the oldest and could use attention. We always used them for comets and mines and just never remade them. The remainder of the racks are in great condition. I failed to mention we also have some 8s and two combo racks that will be included along with a couple water cannons.

No offence to the seller, just wanted to get a sense on the value of his gear. Using Cobra (Black Friday) and Platte River Tube/Rack LIST Pricing:
Total Cobra + Tubes/Racks (New) = $11,413.
Total Cobra - $3718.
(12) 18 M Modules 3.0.3 All “A” 12*$239.=$2868.
(1) 18 R Remote $150.
(1) 18 R2 Pro Remote $300.
(1) Audio Box $300.
(1) Armored Case For 18M
(13) Antenna Extenders
Wireless Reprogrammer $100
Tubes/Racks – Total New: $7695.
(144) 2.5" 12-$66./12*$66.=$792.
(240) 3" 10-$66./24*$66=$1584.
(200) 4" 6-$65./33*$65=$2145.
(60) 5" 5-$82./12*$82=$983.
(60) 6" 4-$110./15*$110=$1650.
Misc.: Combo racks, 8" tubes=$541.
Roughly the Asking Price of $8500. seems like about a 25% discount off new. Of course you would have had to pay shipping on new tubes/racks, but perhaps that’s a wash if you have to get the used gear shipped to you.
