Hmm, this is less than 2 hours away from me.  Maybe I'm missing something, but all I see for shipping is "varies"

very tempting as April 11th is my birthday, though I was born in 88, not 94.

Says free for me now.  I was at work when I looked before.  Must have had something blocked.

Sold as-is, not tested.  Probably just 'cause he has no way to test it, but anyway.

Good point. In my limited experience, i've never actually seen a terminal board that was claimed to be tested.
And if they said it was tested, I might be less confident in trusting the seller  :))

Unless they were a large reseller and just have a soarer cable on hand.

This has been sold. 

Do I have the ability to close this type of thread or is it just supposed to die a natural death?

It'll die and fade down in the list as soon as people stop commenting.

So, I'm not helping, but I did answer the question...

If you want to lock it, as thread creator you should see a "LOCK" button in the bottom left corner of the page.

But don't do it.  Sometimes the person purchasing will comment after a sale, or they'll be more questions, or a followup listing.

Let it die naturally.
