The guy emailed me and is ready to talk about a volume
purchase deal now.
Has anyone actually RECEIVED one of that they bought from him?
I probably was one of the first to buy one, and it ain't here yet.

the seller, and a claim that the terminals shipped
very recently, but I've not seen them. I asked for a
tracking number and got a reply today that he would
get the number from his pack-and-ship place, but
nothing yet. I wouldn't recommend sending this guy
any more money until we've verified that he's shipped
some product.

I ordered one right after Al. I have also had a couple of excuses
from the seller, and no terminal.
He has answered
my emails when I've written him though.

all the items this guy has listed look to be from some sort of catalog,
maybe HP?
he has over 4000 items listed for silly amounts. He must have
some customers who will pay any amount for the parts he has
listed, or this whole "store" would be a waste of money for
the guy.
He could have inserted the listings with no photos and saved a couple
of cents, since all the photos are of the store logo. he could have
put in a link in his description and served up the photo himself for
less.
BTW my favorite was the $300 or so 720K floppy drive.
