Hi Harvey,
He asked me what I thought he could get for it and I told him I didn't know, but without a working Dongle it will greatly reduce the value as whomever bought it would have to purchase a new program from NH or accept a used/refurbished one for $682.00. Or perhaps someone that already owned one would be interested.
He mentioned a figure of $4,000.00 and reminded me that it had very, very, little use. I told him I would check. One just went for $4,550.00 on eBay with the same Gravostyle 98 with the same colored Dongle (Yellow) that worked. I honestly don't know what he'd let it go for. He has decided that he wants to buy a Vision engraver like the one that Chuck bought at the ARA Trade Show last month, and the IS400 is just taking up space at his shop.
He truly feels that NH stuck a knife in his back (his description was much, much, more colorful) but is beginning to think that maybe he should just salvage what he can and move on. If anyone were interested in his machine I'll ask him if I can pass on his phone number and they can deal directly with him. If they end up getting a good deal, I'll take a large Latte please :O)
