Please wait until BS validates receipt of the unit. In the event this 0 feedback account is a scam, since they are selling quite a few, the last thing you want is to have to make a claim then end up with only $89 to then start over with since you already donated the rest. Please don't be too quick to act I won't be putting more money in the pot.

I agree. I fell for one of these for a wrt3200 at a really good price, lower then low. I was aware of these folks out there and figured worst case I would get a refund. Never heard from the seller and never got the unit. However, Ebay made it good with full refund. Only bad side is Ebay was out the money and am guessing they will never see it either.

If not for the buyer protections in place I would never have considered it.
Figures that Amazon would add shipping charges just as we were closing in.
I even went through the checkout process all the way to the last confirmation just to make sure shipping didn't get added on and it wasn't. Now it's over $40.
Everyone starts at zero on eBay so I'll give him/her their chance. $90 is much better than $190 so it's worth it.
The only thing we stand to loose it a little bit of time.

I'm going to go ahead and say that listing is a fraud. To be selling brand new units for half what a refurbished unit costs is not believable. Be prepared to wait a months time for PayPal dispute to funnel through, or eBay outright cancels. Many scams run like this, to get access to as much money as they can in their PayPal, before they fly by night.
Please don't donate the remainder of the funds. $150 would be the expected price to get him one.

If nothing happens by Wednesday, June 27 (day I get $) I'll get one from Amazon or other reputable online store and then worry about getting a refund later. _________________ DD-WRT Installation & Setup TUTORIAL http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=311117

Sounds like a plan.
According to the eBay listing the seller claims 'sales will be processed usually in 3 business days' so I'll give them till Friday, June 22.
If no shipping confirmation by then, I'll start the refund process and then order one from Amazon on the 27th.

I remember reading a post last year where someone stated that the WRT32X had piqued his interest.
I can't remember who it was and I couldn't find the thread, but I'm positive I read that somewhere on the Forum.

Just an FYI, I have exactly $35.01 donation money remaining. As soon as Brainslayer confirms receipt of the WRT32X I'll donate it to the DD-WRT Project as promised.
Confirmation will be posted to this Thread.
