I guess I felt it was worth it to me to know I was getting what I wanted... ya a bit steep, but I have the cash, and my bday is next week... I figured this might be the last chance to get a vpmw 170.. so I pulled the trigger.. I guess it's possible something is fishy with the "never been opened but the seal is broken" bit, but there's chance in everything.. I guess I might be a little too trusting, but I think/hope things will be fine with it. The selller has great feedback

Anyways.. I will be sure to report back when I get the chip, but I am with my folks tending to my mother who is very sick ATM, so it might be a little while..
