Just caught word from a friend that a local store called Surplus Electronics is selling these for $89.95 a pop... i called a CSR just to make sure it was real, and everything seemed in order...
Information:
Surplus electroics.. 1-800-311-5560
and the model is the Apex AD600A
price doesn't include the S&H.
Hope this is a good deal, or i'll feel kinda dumb for posting this

You sure its not the older unit that lacks mp3 playback + the loophole menu? Many stores are selling off "surplus" units heh. Might want to double check as that price is below cost by quite a bit.

There is an older model unit (with same model #) that was available in 99 that lacked both those features, adding to the confusion the loophole/mp3 unit was also sold in 99 under the same model #..wonderful thinking eh?

This is the same as the message posted by Liquidh2o, except this is from an email. My question: is this too good to be true ?
So I called up this AM but received an answering message. I tried two more times and have the same result. I guessed it is probably in west coast and this is Saturday.
Then this PM, I tried once more, and voila, a lady answered and explained that this price also includes S/H !!! However, they don't take credit card, but only electronic check, which means they get the name of my bank, my checing account account and my check number. I was a bit leary to give her that information. She told me I can check with my bank and this is legitimate.
I called up my bank and the CR assured me that the seller will only charged whatever the amount I authorized and no more.
This price is unheard of. I have prepaid an order to Circuit City for $179 (plus tax) and still waiting the item for 6 weeks.
Has anyone received this email and placed an order ?

They don't take a credit card? I mean come on, how hard is that? All they have to do is use PayPal or something, it's free after all.
Sounds like a major scam to me.

Scam? No I'm sure it's not. 
DELETED: Thought better of it and edited snide comments about the recent memberships of the deal posters/commentators.
I don't believe that giving someone access to your checking account limits them to withdrawing only what you authorize. How is your bank going to know? With a CC you can dispute a charge and the CC company will only hold you liable for the first $50. To my knowledge there are no such protections available for using a bank draft, just like none are avail. for a debit card.
Just ask yourselves, is an "Online Marketing Test" seem plausible as a reason to sell these at half the going rate?
My $.02
