Prices are not that HOT either.
They are approaching $150 a piece by the time the auction is ending. $200
for a lot of 2...

You are only getting the battery tray and the 56k modem over the JK packages
for machines which nobody is backing up (aestethicly, functionally, etc.)
for a small difference in price.
I say nobody, because a seller with zero rating is NOBODY in ebay.
Besides... it is not their business. They do not have a reputation to keep.

I'll rather purchase and support JK (PDA014) or other regular vendors which
make their living supporting our community making sure we receive good
products and service and have a reputation they want to keep up, than some
units that have been in the field doing national survey research (as we are
being told) for 5-6 years.

The only thing positive I was hoping for was that, because the additional
MP2100's on the market, the prices may come down, so that I can purchase my
MP2100 from... JK

I recommend buying from someone else. At least in till we hear some
positive feedback.
