Serpent for sale

[Answer-RC-Pete]

On the Chiron? It has no bids doesnt it?
I imagine it all happens at the end in reality but the next xheapest I can find is 10,000Euro for a `98 model.. Could be a bargain..

Also the Serpent name/products don't belong to the company. They belong to the brain trust. Not sure how that works into EU law.

they dont do prototype at holland either, they simply send the cad drawing to asia and within a few days they have a part delievered to them ready to go

Serpent is moving ahead with full power
Michael Salven and Ronald Baar (me) own the Serpent name, domain-names, brand-rights, the stock and designs. We have established Serpent Asia, Serpent America (booth in Chicago I-Hobby show) and next month Serpent Europa too. We have an office in Holland (Heemstede) to do general management, design and marketing.
As advised before merely the full production-line has been moved to Asia and its already in full operation. Serpent S120, S720 and S960 are made and are being sold, same with spare parts and optionals for same. The auction this person is talking about is the sales of all remaining machines, tables and other stuff, not related to products (except some very old stuff, we did not bother to take along).
