I have read alot and not to play Devil's Advocate, here is my .02 cents on the whole issue. I don't know Shawn more than a few e-mails that we have conversed through and the chatroom once in a while. Regardless of the price he sold them at, he was able to sell them with ease. Maybe his logic on keeping them for more than one day is a little hazy but that in all honesty it is his business. 10/11 people were found and purchased these systems and they are now gone.
Would I pay $1,000.00 for one of these systems, No. But it is not fair at the same time to ridicule someone that can with a supply of more money then some people.
Think of it this way, with supply and demand, you know when you have a hot product. In this case, 10 AES unit solds for a price most were nto expecting. Now I have heard of a price of $500.00 circulating around that these AES systems were to be sold for. If this is true, then that is wrong morally. But there was no firm price set and no contract given by Shawn for that price. Only an estimate.
Think of it this way, alot of people if given the same chance and oppurtunity might if not would totally do the same. Think of it this way, you purchase an item in the store, let's say a Stereo Receiver. The price of that receiver is say $500.00. The store you are about to purchase it from made double then what they bought it for. Do you think knowing what the price is that the store bought it for will reduce it to you? NO.
The point is, Shawn made a profit and that is his choice. While I don't know his personal affairs and really don't want to, he has put out a large amount of money to purchase Neo Related items, which is alot more then many other people would even fantom of doing.
Just my two cents
