    Gotta love that 30 day return policy. $20,000 restocking fee when buyer discovers only prototypes are worth money.

    Policies:

    Returns: 30 days. The buyer is responsible to insure the item(s) to the full paid (won) price and package very well. Any tampering with this product will void its warranty. All non-seller fault returns of non-defective items such as compatibility issues, item no longer needed, buyer bought wrong item, buyer changed mind, etc. will be subject to a 20% restocking fee. The fee will be deducted from the amount of refund we will issue the buyer.

    usually these type of things are reported or otherwise garner the attention of the 'bay dogs and such things are pulled down rather quickly .
    is it possible that the seller really believes he has a 20 pound goldmine ?

    Actually, the seller is a friend of mine. Really nice guy but as you can see, he is kinda proud of his stuff. I have zero idea if that is worth anything or not. :D

    more puns *scnr*
    good night, nerd pride
    real dolls, real 'puters

    It was a golden time. A time before Windows, a time before mouses, a time before the internet and bloatware, and a time... before every OS sucked.
