Relax man, I'm not trying to lower the price as I really don't care about the price of these things. The asking price of around $700+ is still fair even considering the potential problems. My previous statements were more of a "consumer warning" and nothing more. The dead die issues are independent of how the package was treated, and I bet you anything if you tested these before selling them you'd notice it too. I suggest you test them before selling or live with the guilt of knowing you sold someone an underperforming miner - unless you really simply and absolutely don't care (to paraphrase you). A tested and "open box" miner should not be and will not be considered of lower value by a smart buyer. These things aren't freaking iphone or ipad or whatnot.
