Hi guys ,

sorry for my approximated english but,
please... stop talking only about prohibitives pricy examples ...
EBAY is a very very bad example, people used it to increase price &
create a new desire.
EBAY is far from offering bargains...
therefore, last year, a 4 modules (Genesis Customed) SDSV brain went
for about £150...
a fully loaded 7 modules one about £200 ...
Personnaly I wouldn't pay $120 for a channel module...& not even more
720$ for a complete one ...
& I'm taking the smaller prices as reference... not the highest
ones...
Of course there are also some wealthy collectors that can afford over
estimated units...

But Please don't encourage these "brokers" (?) breaking a complete
full brain in pieces to make more profit.
Don't help them to justify themself.
It's all stupid really.
all in all,
to pay our lovely units very expensive doesn't give them more value
or more sound in the end...

Anyway ...
Good luck,
Patrice.
