I got the K5s. Again, more than I wanted to pay ($400), but not a lot. So I am getting good but not great deals, assuming that there are not an unexpectedly high number of damaged eink screens.

Now I have to wait for HOURS until the last auction, the one I am REALLY waiting for, the DX demos! The other models were just for practice.

There is always a considerable risk for auctions such as this. But no risk, no reward. Although providing them to you guys at cost is not much reward, considering that I am taking all the risk.

But then again, you will be using debricking tools and methods provided by me and others, and I have a huge investment of personal time involved there that I am giving away for no reward except occasional karma (and most of that is for funny posts, instead of for code demos and tools).

Hey guys, you know where that karma button is now, right?
