This person also sells braille displays for really cheap prices as well as other things. He's known as a con artist in the blindness community. A lot of people told me to stay away from him. Take the adage, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. I hear he buys stuff then refurbishes it then sells it again.

Parsons Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 6:38 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Con man seeks clients, was Information Hi all, <smiling> I've changed the subj line on this post. If it weren't so serious, in this day and age when there are gunmen roaming the streets of New Orleans, it would be laughable. I make no evaluation here, none, I only examine the facts and ask questions. 1. Where did this MPower come from? 2. Who sold it originally and why? 3. Seems that since it's only been two months since the Mpower has been on the market, someone selling one, would push the envelope of credibility. 4. If this person were actually selling an MPower, what is its serial number, is that available? The buyer will have to have it in order to upgrade or to purchase an SMA or a HMA. 5. Is it still under warrantee? Since this wasn't mentioned, one must assume that it is not an MPower, and it is not, therefore under warrantee. The Warrantee lasts one year. This, I would think would be important imformation. As I say, I make no value judgments one way or the other, I merely point out facts. Oh, yes, and since only a limited number of MPowers have been sold, assuming that the serial number is still on the unit, the original purchaser can and should be contacted to find out exactly what's going on here. Buying pigs in pokes is not a good idea. For those of you outside the U.S. a "pig in a poke" is a suckling pig in a bag. You can't see inside the bag, so you're buying an unknown quantity.
