I am very sorry to hear about this! My heart gos out to you and all of the victims still dealing with cleaning up and repairing not only material and emotional. If you would be willing to sell them separate, I am be interested in a few of your cartridges. I am really on the hunt for Hello Kitty (me and everyone right), Toy Story and Heritage. Please let me know your thoughts either thru here or email (cynlynaroos@gmail.com)

I agree with Gail. It might be more time consuming, but you would make alot more money if you sold everything separately. a Gypsy with that many carts would be worth ALOT. And if you had the more popular carts like Hello Kitty that is going for hundreds and the Disney carts are going for nearly a hundred, it would be worth your time.

Thank you all for your thoughts. What people outside of this area do not realize, (and I didn't either until it effected me) is that
the government is absolutely no help. FEMA is backlogged up to six months. They had a meeting the other night and they are
changing the flood zones from A to V which means this. If your house does not meet the requirements of being 11 1/2 feet from the
bottom of your floor to the sea level you have two choices. Raise the house at a cost of $60,000+ or pay up to $1,000 a month in
flood insurance. The flood insurance has a deductible of between $7,000 and $10,000. It will not cover anything outside or damaged
by wind for instance a tree falling into your house. It only covers first floor water damage to walls, furniture, appliances and floors.

They will give you a low interest loan for $30,000 but it will take up to 18 months to process. It is truly unbelievable. I fear the
Jersey shore is going to be a wasteland of empty houses and rubbage all over. In the town that I live my taxes just doubled from
a re-assesment. No one will buy these homes because of all the problems so we are stuck waiting for relief from either city or state
government.

On another note, I do not have a disney carts, but I do have some really old ones. I do not think I even made three cuts with the E2
I have to check but my gypsy may still be under warrenty I purchased from HSN and I am including all original boxes. I will do as
you guys suggested and list my carts here too.

If you live in the uk most of the carts go for 20 to 40 english pounds if you have a hello kitty one that will go for 100+ english pounds . so have a look on ebay at the compleated listings you might get a bit more for the carts . good look .

I am sorry you are having to deal with this long slow process. I know from my family's experience with Katrina it is hard to not have the things you need when you need them. I will be praying for you.

Wow. So sorry for your loss and the difficult time getting help. You are right, outside of where you are, it is hard for it to seem real. Good luck selling your cricut items. I agree, selling them separately would be a good idea.

I have just been on the engldnd ebay site and someone is selling the hello kitty carts brand new and in blister pack for £160.00 start for the shaped one and buy it now at220.00 and the font one at 230.00 start bid or 320.00 buy it now so that give some idar of how much some of the carts are going for here . as to them being linked to a gyspy there are always lots of them being sold seperatly in the uk although i do get what the comment from sheila is going on about and can see her point . I just wish we could get the normal carts for the prices that some of you say you get them for in the uk that would be briliant as i said ing my post above if it is a new cart if you get ut for about£20 000 english pounds you are doing well most new are averaging abous £30 or nearer £40 english pounds you do the conversion to U.S dollars and think ypurselfs lucky

I'm very sorry for your situation. My family endured Katrina and we spent nearly 3 years rebuilding. It's something that only those who have lived through it can possibly understand. In time things do get better but mostly that will be through YOUR efforts and not necessarily the governments. This is where your state and local governments have to demand the help. IMHO FEMA is worthless.....

Thank you all so much. It will all get better, material things are replaceable. Living in NJ is just such a burden with the big tax load they impose on us.

Hopefully we will never see a storm like that again.

:)

So sorry this happened to you. Good luck with your sale.

Not really, you make the UK £ spend the UK £ you can't say on well if I were to pay in $ then I would pay this or that. Here they make and pay in the US$ England pays and sells in the UK £.
Thats like me having a melt down because if I were to go to England I have to pay almost double for everything being as the £ is so much stronger than the US$

Not a valid argument unless you made US$ but had to pay in UK £'S

I know for a fact that ebay can and has removed a listing of someone selling a gypsy with 163 linked carts as I was bidding on that item. I am including an email from ebay where they sent me an email stating the removed the listing this listing was for the gypsy with 163 linked cartridges only

(Thanks for your interest in this auction-style listing:

261125874592 - Cricut Gypspy Machine - Rarely Used,163 carts

We're sorry to tell you that the item isn't available for purchase anymore. We removed the listing because it likely fell into one of these three categories:

-- The listing doesn't follow eBay guidelines.
-- The item isn't allowed on eBay or can only be listed under certain conditions.
-- The listing contains pictures or words that may have violated copyright or trademark rights.

This is disappointing for everyone, but sometimes it's an action we have to take to protect you as a buyer.

Important: If you won the item and haven't paid for it yet, you don't need to complete the transaction. If you've already paid for the item, we encourage you to contact the seller to get more information about the transaction. If you don't receive the item, your purchase price plus original shipping may be covered by the eBay resolution process:)

Trust me, that is EXACTLY why the auction was removed and why I have read on other message boards about MANY others bent removed as well. Of course some have gone through--that doesn't mean it's ok, that means the person wasn't caught. I'm not saying everyone that sells a Gypsy without the carts does it to screw someone over, but it is confusing to understand exactly his the whole thing works and there are many people who do not understand it or know about it and THAT is why I posted what I did.
