all justifiable concerns

i followed the auction and i think you were correct not to bid more even though
the Ren board i think is worth more then $450 even with no module.
however this seller is too much of a potential problem



my gut tells me this guy is nothing but trouble

there will be other Ren boards on Ebay
the board is not rare at all and neither was that module

some advise should you choose to accept it...


wait until you see a Ren board with the Sparc module(strongest OSA module Saitek
released)

if you win a Ren without it..sooner or later one will appear with a Sparc and
you will only wind up with two Ren boards

and i have never seen a Sparc module being sold by itself
