    Wow, pretty brave using Parallax's images as well. Hopefully, no one will come along and believe the fake auction. In all honesty, the seller can just buy them from Parallax if the auction is bid on and still make a profit.

    That sounds pretty steep. There is a guy selling some bots in the classifieds forum. Those look like a great deal!

    Caveat Emptor

    [Latin, Let the buyer beware.] A warning that notifies a buyer that the goods he or she is buying are "as is," or subject to all defects... OR PRICE GOUGING!

    Terrible!.

    Maybe it is the special "Autographed Edition" of the Activity Bot? All you guys already have at least one of those, right?

    Ham radios too. I get notified every time a certain Yaeusa radio comes available (I'm looking for a non-working one), they are always higher price than a new one from a reputable store.
