Neither Jermey nor anyone from SonicBlue have said how much he paid for the units. He may have paid more then the $199 fire sale, or less.

So many people here are bashing him for his deal made with the empeg folks a while back. He is providing one of the last ways to buy an empeg beyond the unstable prices of eBay. And considering I think the 10gb is worth at a bare minimum $500, it's still an excellent deal compared to the $1000+ prices originally.
