Stupid ebay questions.....

[Das Hammer]

So, I've got a Traxis 3500 on ebay, and I received a typical hack question to which I responded. I was gentle. I also posted the question and answer for all to see. TRAXIS DBS-3500 FTA RECEIVER - BEST BLIND SCAN 3500 - (eBay item 290158752199 end time Sep-10-07 18:41:47 PDT)

By the way, the auction ends soon if you're looking for a good deal

that is funny...

Good answer to that guy. I wish I had seen the auction before it closed. Way too cheap. I just picked up a free Primestar 84e and would love to have another receiver. Sold my Mercury II too soon. I hope the $9 shipping covers your cost. I had $10 shipping on my receiver, but it ended up $14 with UPS.

That was a Good Deal!

Somoen got a bargain...

Hammer, very good answer...

And you sold that way too CHEAP...

Very good answer. I just bought a ViewSat 20000 Platinum receiver on EBay for only $3 plus $9 shipping. The shipping actually cost the seller $10, so be careful in your shipping estimates.

Just notice you have 320 feedbacks on ebay and all are 100%. Fantastic! Also you don't put outrageous shipping costs on your items--- KUDOS sir!

I see your offloading a lot of toys. Nice motherboard!! I haven't been building computers in a while. I'm out of the loop on the new technology (in terms of the latest processors)

The sad part is that if he had answered that it has the potential to receive a billion channels and all the PPV's he could ever dream of, it probably would have sold for 3 times that amount.

I know this would be admitting defeat, but sometimes I wish we could encourage a new label for those of us who use FTA legitimately. Maybe something like USR (Unencrypted Satellite Reception) or HFS (Hack-free Satellite). Then we can leave FTA to those who's interpretation of "free" is not having to pay for their subscription.
