George, you are correct. Sorry I jumped you, I had a long night. I've recently turned down quite a few end users wanting complete systems because believe it or not, but I qualify my buyers before doing business with them I don't want to do THEM or YOU the disservice of having to deal with a pile of electronics in a box that might not be what they wanted.
I don't think you have to worry about losing *system* sales, but in the near future there will be a market made in used KX-TDA equipment. At that point your end users will find me (or someone else) and you and I will have to figure out how to make money together :) Take care -Joe On Wed, 19 Jan 2005 12:37:07 -0800, you wrote: > >Thanks Bob. > >Joe, there is nothing wrong with selling used/reconditioned KXTD or >KXTDA with or without its software onboard, any more than selling used >desktop computers with or without theirs.
