Dunno but you're probably best to ask on the Ebay scam alerts forum, that's where the experts seem to reside

I think I know who is selling it.... PM Sent...

Sure looks like a scam. Low feedback, piss-poor description. Nothing about the history of the unit....

Simon A · 6th April 2008, 06:27

it could go either way, a few questions to the seller should sort it out.
1:- can you view it before the end of the auction (you can probably find someone there to go and look it over).
2) can you pick the item up personaly and pay cash then?

I personaly would always pick up something of this value myself, even if it means taking a flight.

Like I said the first time... I think I know who the seller is... Feel free to bid on the auction and I will be happy to confirm this.

With all the rumors circling, I dunno, you may need to thumbwrestle mempilot for it...

Does that mean he will be getting rid of his unit.....????

Thing is this is 7 hours up the road from me in Canada and I think from the small reply I got from the seller it is the old unit with the metal handsets. I will be about 2 hours away from there next weekend. I might pop over and see it or send someone over to see it. if it has not sold.

So no FX upgrade...Someone said it cost 1600 to upgrade to the fx. I have not followed the optimas as much. What is the FX upgrade and is it a must do. or a nice to do.

Apparantly this was built here in Canada as it is one of the older ones. He did give me his number so I will call him on monday.

Anyone else in Canada besides Cornel Fox diving these. What is it like getting the extendidair up here?
