All he needs is one idiot to come along and he gets a big time score.

here's another,
maybe these people think these things are worth more because they have owned them?
or maybe they are just hoping that someone accidentally buys it without looking at the price?

Well, "used", actually.
And apparently it doesn't even include the (nice little) dish.
They probably paid $1600 for the school courses they got over it for home-schooling their kids.
Not sure, but I think you had to resubscribe every year.
However, that was religious material, and it is no longer available on satellite.

Several folks have posted pix of the dish that came with the receiver, but it's not exceptional enough to pay more than $10 for, IMO.

How can you tell if the receiver is for BJ Homesat or ABS-CBN Filipino service or what?

 

[Mr Tony]

It was the same unit for both services. Both used the same encryption

Well, I guess I just made the ASSumption! -
The BJ University was the first one that came to mind, and the high price sounded about right for their curriculum.

Everyone seems to think satellite equipment is worth far more than it is these days... A couple of examples I have personally seen over the past week or so:

- Three D* Slimline dishes at a local Goodwill (all new) for $250. Hey, I'm looking for monopole mounts, but I'm not THAT desperate!

- A very nice (but still analog) VCII-RS analog receiver for $50 at another thrift store. Saw that one today. In its defense, it did have 36V actuator power and control, and a REALLY COOL graphic representation of North America showing the locations of the satellites, which would light up as you changed from bird to bird.

I would give them a Jackson for the receiver, but not a penny more...

 

[Mr Tony]

I still like the guy on my local craigslist who was trying to sell a Primestar for $150

No big deal, Anole. Just wondering.
