bad axe 2 should I do it?

I offered $140 he says he will take $160, what do you think? its sealed box.

yey or nay?

I'd spend $20 more and by a new board.

Then again, you're in the UK so your options/prices may be different than mine. :D

[ianm2]

its supposedly new, but I'll take that as a nay, we can get just about everything natively here to use a computer term, but a bit dearer.

there was a typo on the sealed box, I first typed stealed box, it may well be a sort of reverse freudian subconcious thing. his english is disjointed too, and one other thing makes me wonder about him, but could be genuine

I know it's sealed box, but that doesn't make a difference to me as a buyer.

You can have a dead board sealed box or not. :D And without being the initial purchaser without the original bill of sale with your name on it so you can obtain warranty, you end up with a $160 paper weight.

My dad tought me (only thing he ever tought me) that if you're going to buy something new, even if it's NOS, sealed box, etc. don't pay more than half of retail.

yep your right, it seemed like a good price, but its still not the right one for me anyway.
