Wish the TK had a more standard bottom row.

How is it possible? I have never even heard before of this internet shop, and they have accumuluated 2.5m unique sales already? If only 1 feedback per unique buyer counts, that means they have sold to more than 1 out of every 100 US adults.

I wonder if these are the older models with firmware issues or the rev 2?

And that ebay is just the former 'buy.com' ebay account.

They ended up at on clearance, I'd guess Rev 1.

It's the ebay account of buy.com (huge online store, similar to amazon). I am certain that they are not unique people, as one person can buy many things form them.

Would that be a deal killer or could I just flash the firmware to rev 2?

IIRC, the issue was that the numpad's enter key would not work when numlock was on.

Well that kind of kills it if that's the case..

I have a TK and I don't find it to be an issue. I ordered one of these though and I'll let you know what firmware it has when I receive it.

Did they notice the viewing interest and up the cost? That's pretty lame if so.

dorkvader, one person may buy many different things from them, but doesn't he have only 1 chance to put a feedback? I thought all feedbacks on ebay have to be unique (in terms of user, not transactions) to count. That prevents friends from putting 1000 positives on each other after conducting 1000 transactions for 1 cent each.
