Ach ...just ribbing ya.

As Peter says...
It is about how a collector would view it.
Of course that is not to say ...give it a few years ...and with even fewer n950's around...
Let alone a proto...
Even if in rough shape...
it may fetch a great deal...

And even still again...
with collectors ...it is about how rare...
So depending ...
you may find a collector now who would pay what you ask...
perhaps a collector would need yours for parts ...for his...
Never know...

But yeah ...buying maemo devices on the hope of profit turning...
Well...
Unless you buy ...say...a large lot of them ...in good shape...at a really good price...
and then resell them individually at the going prices...
Then expect to make some money ...
But purchase speculation without enquiring first ...is called risk taking gambling ...
Are you Canadian by any chance...
Because this was a pretty crazy risk...
right up there with our national sports ..
Parachute-less Skydiving ...
and
Canadian Roulette



True Canadian insane and good sportsmanship...
Everyone is always a winner.
Once.

And as an aside ...
What the F.....
is there a cult or new fad or something going on juiceme + , pichlo + ???

perhaps I should rename myself endsormeans $@#!
