    All been said before, to buy or not to thats the question, well its up to you if you can afford to lose (maybe) $400 then take a chance, if not get a sub for fox, or get multi boxes and share with a friend and split the cost ??

    If its too expensive and you have issues with ads , why the hell do you want to pay $400 for it ? Kind of defeats the purpose doesnt it ?

    Interesting.... so what price would you pay skitzo?
    Like if $400 is sounding too much.... then what would you pay?

    Geez, I remember back in the Gold Card days, there was a guy going around my area selling you the whole set-up (dish, box, card etc) for $4000. And plenty of people were buying it. Here used to tell people that it has worked for him for the last 7 years, but no guarantees on how long it would keep working... on the strength of the 7 year history, people would buy it.

    His customers were all rich pub owners and alike, they used to brag about it too.... They all thought they had something super special and that they would have it forever i guess.

    I don't think $400.00 is too much,
    at that price I'd probably take two

    Cards are in short supply so if you can find one I'd grab it.

    If you contact me by email we'll negotiate a price you won't be unhappy with, however like Tagg I'd want assurances on validity.

    No they don't have an ATR, they are "NON WORKING sellers cards".

    And as far as "assurances on validity", there's plenty of people on this site that will vouch for me. If I say they are non working sellers cards, then that's what they are.

    But it sounds to me like you guys actually want WORKING sellers cards that you can update to v5.3 and use in aftermarket decoders?

    Working or non working doesn't make a lot of difference to me.
