I saw those and considered bidding on them, but I think you need to make a definite highest bid in your mind. I wouldn't want to pay much for them myself, knowing that they may not work.

There is no guarantee that they will, you would probably find maybe one does.

I decided not to bid as I wouldn't want to spend more than $25-30 per box myself. (Maybe I'm a bit cheap, but I hate buying stuff that possibly doesn't work at all)

Its a risk you take I guess.

I know that guy.

I was just talking to him on the phone.

Forgot to ask why he is selling them.

I don't have time to fix old boards anymore otherwise I would have a bid or 3.

Some good boards in the mix though.

I would assume none of them work.  In that situation you have to assume they don't and pay accordingly.

Nah, at only a couple bucks (pounds) each, it's a safe bid for the parts alone.
