Re: Sperry UTS 40 on Ebay - Statesboro, Georgia

Finally, a bad plan this Ebay ad. After many unsuccessful attempts to repair my UTS and the growing fear that my problem is at the level of the EPROMs inside the Program Cartridge, I finally decided to buy the UTS on Ebay. Unfortunately the seller is the style to cancel a finalized, paid and

Strange seller, I do not understand anything, he handed his UTS for ten times the price, but in the same time he just sent me a tracking number O_o. I do not know what to expect. Will I receive this UTS or not? If not, will I get my money back? I do not know. Meanwhile, for the principle, I

Hi Ali, I've had a few things shipped lately and $250 isn't out of line. It's small enough that you could try your luck on UShip; if you go that route the pallet wouldn't be needed. If you use a traditional transporter, see if the seller is willing to pick up a couple cheap nylon ratcheting tie
