This thing will go for about it original price or more?

[persia]

I notice that too.  What do you think, a anomaly or just more collectors?

TBH all we can see in the auction is an A1000 cardboard box.

I would never buy an expensive item without multiple high res close up images....

@ddniUK

I know. You could carefully open the box and show the basics...

This item went up, hit about 275.00 and then the auction was 'reset' by the seller apparently. I bid on it when it was like 70.00 bucks. Then I got this (is this weird / unusual?):

The first time it was listed they said it was new.  Now they are not.

[ddniUK]

It isnt new old stock, so taking it out of the box for a few pictures would be easy...

Having missed two chances to add pictures (each time the auction was reset)makes me highly suspicious of the auction.

They also say that it's untested and then immediately after that it's tested and working. I'd avoid this one, if it's re-listed again.

Yeah it sure would suck to drop $300 on a "new" A1K, only to find a dirty, yellowed POS in the box.

Nice A1K's are fairly plentiful though.

These are rare in the UK but even so that's rather alot for a bit of a dated hardware.
