Hummm WHY did I offer to organize a group purchase? I'm asking myself that. Apparently the seller saw and/or heard about the words of caution that some people here posted, one was a lack of terminals being shipped, another was 'lets hold off on a bulk purchase till at least some terminals are shipped'. I'd like to throw in a few tidbits: 1) The seller contacted me and appears to feel I have caused a bit of a problem because my list had negative comments about him. I explained to him that anyone on the list is free to post their experiences, advice, etc. without me censoring. Talk to the people who expressed their concerns, not me. Nuff said. 2) I have been assured by the seller that the terminals are in fact on the way to the non-group purchase people. My views are below: My impression (from a few email exchanges only) is that this is likely an honest guy that basically fell into a boatload of units, and after the first few has found it to be a HUGE effort to carefully clean one up, test it, photograph it, pack it (well!) for shipping, etc. I suspect he's found this is far more effort (and probably mostly time) than he'd care to spend on it. I'm not sure he anticipated what packing a heavy unit like the 264x can be like. Just tossing it into a cardboard box won't do and he's aware of that. And he's got 50 of 'em. Thats a lot of time. I understand very well the thoughts and concerns expressed by the folks here, and I will defend your right to share them. However, what I was hoping to do for a bulk purchase (if it can be pulled off still) is to have someone in the vicinity pick them up. There's no cleaning/testing/shipping issues for him, and hopefully that would be reflected in the price. I don't have experience with this seller or inside knowledge that causes me to say this - but going from my gut only, I'd say give the guy a little slack for now. My scam meter isn't going off just yet. Form your own opinion. Jay West
