Final price: $22.50 (Auction) eBay fee -$2.03
Shipping: $15.00 eBay Fee on Shipping -$1.35 even know it really cost me a tab bit more $15.86 to really ship it
Paypal Fee amount: -$1.39
That $4.77 just for eBay and do keep in mind that eBay also owns Paypal

Welcome to the feebay monolopy. A perfect example of why monopolies are bad. I really wish Google or someone would launch a competitor.

Or better yet, Google could just buy ebay and cancel all auctions and put a placating home page up saying "Full speed ahead", easier than policing the poor people that got fleeced into buying into a dead system trying to recover their investment.

Ouch, don't hold back your feelings! Seriously, it's not a "dead system" - it's still fully functional - just like when you first purchased it. It 'may' not be developed any longer, but if you've been with Sage as long as some of us you would know that there is a VERY strong chance that us users won't just be left out in the cold. Jeff and the other Sage folks have always been on the side of us little guys - I've seen no reason to think they've changed.

Previously, their business model fit well with "us little guys", but I don't think that means they will always be "on the side of us little guys".

I need to kiss eBay goodbye. Stupid thing cost me $500 in the past 7 days. Seriously, did I need to add power to drive *another* 6 speakers (one big zone), 2 pairs of wallmountable speakers, and 2 soccer jerseys? Plus I'll have 2 unused amp channels, so you know i'll be looking at outdoor speakers shortly. I already have 2 outdoor speakers, but if i buy 2 more, then i'll have 4. And 4 is better than 2.

Seriously, I know I was sick of writing that excel document at work, but I could have found something else to do with my time.

although, that was barely higher than the cost of a single HD300 on eBay...
