Don't overlook the yard sale or estate sale when looking to fill those DN testable equipment needs.
So far in two yard sales out of 15 I visited in the last 4 weeks. I found one 3000 with a rom3 at 381. Snatched this one up for 30.00 US dollars. Came with a dish 300.
Next found a 3700 with a rom 10 at A16 along with a 7200 with a rom 3 at 381. The package also came with a dish 500 with two SW21 multi switches. All for 50.00 bucks US.
Those bargins are starting to show up everywhere so keep your eyes open and grab em cheap.

About a month ago I picked up a 2700 with open rom3 for $8. Other times got a 2700 and 7100 with rom3 rev372's for $100, and then two 301.10's with open rom10 and rom11's and three blue key remotes for $30. If you keep your eyes out it can be really suprising the deals you can find. I am not a yard saler myself. I hate them. But I do have two friends that have female companions that hit them religously. We can thank Charlie for the free upgrades to his newer IRD's. My installer buddy told me yesterday that I needed to come in and check out the new model 921 PVR. I hope everyone upgrades. That way we will see just that much more usable testing equipment for dirt cheap.
