I'm going to hate myself for this: TUNER FOR SALE

Hi.

Due to a severe financial crisis, I have to sell my second tuner module (originally intended for home/development use). Of course, I put it up on ebay (or on the german ebay).

I wonder wether anyone chooses to use the buy-now option. I guess not.

I really hope there will be a new production run of the tuner module. I really want a tuner at home, too. I can't afford to keep that tuner now. :-( But a new job is coming, with a new wave of money.

There is no "buy it now" option on the auction.

It disappeared after the first bid but I think it was $400. If you look at the text it says he will close the auction early if the highest bid meets his expectations????? So I guess if you bid $400 then you'll get it

Hi.

You guessed right. However, I will sell it for whatever amount the highest bid is if the auction ends in it's normal way.

I'm going to hate myself for this? C'mon, don't be silly. Why can't you admit that you smell money now that the tuners are selling for $400. And since there will be new tuners available in a few months ...
Selling the tuner because of a financial crisis? A financial crisis which will be resolved by selling the tuner huh ? Must be some financial crisis ...
I really don't mind that you're selling it for $400, heck for all I care you can get $1000 for it, just don't look for excuses, that's pathetic.

I think he meant "I'm going to hate myself because it will probably generate a lot of pointless flame mail from people I don't know."

wow! who knew the tuner would be so popular:)

Hey I feel like I started this financial crisis thing. My company messed up my tax withholdings and I ended up owing a large amount of money that I originally planned as a refund to apply towards larger than expected vacation expenses. At this point, I'm basically looking at my belongings and wondering what I can get if I sold. Like my laptop.

I have a mint Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on my shelf, signed by Douglas Adams himself, with a certificate of authenticity signed and dated by a witness and the author himself. I wonder how much it is worth now, versus a decade or more from now?

Well, the tuner alone won't solve my financial problems I currently experience. But I have been unimployed for almost 2 years now, and my bank account is well below my credit line.
This has nothing to do with excuses. And the reason I hate myself for selling the tuner is that I got the tuner this year, from a very kind member of this BBS (and for the original selling price of (what was it?) 75$ plus tax). I now feel like I am betraying that person. The second reason I will hate myself for this is that I will start on a bew job pretty soon now (well, on the 1st of June). And from that day on, I will have enough money again.

But yes: I smell the money now that the tuners sell for 350$ and more. If the tuner only sold for 150$ or even less, I surely wouldn't sell it.

More of a "I will absolutely hate myself for this if there won't be a future production run of the tuner module."
