Jeremy,
Please understand that parts of your story just seems so implausible--I think more than one of us is having trouble comprehending where you're coming from. While I don't understand why your posts have evoked such hostility from some people, I must say this offer does come at a very odd time. The stock your offering is well over a year old.

Could you let us know the number of units you'll be receiving? There can't be that many old unsold empeg Mark 2's floating around. I would guess well less than a hundred.

Do you know which Sonicblue office they are coming from? US or UK?

Are these Refurb units?

Perhaps your responses will shed more light....

As a side note, S3 is no longer the corporate name. The company is doing business as Sonicblue.
