Who pays almost $4K for pjs like this with an unknown history and condition? Clearly someone who likes to gamble. And what is an FR909? How does it differ from the blue cased 909's?

I was watching them but knew they would be too rich for my blood. Looks like they went for a bit more individually than the two lots that sold some months ago.

Actually with GLs buyer premium of 10% it is over $4k and of course there may be sales tax as well if the buyer has not filed the tax exempt paperwork.

If someone personally inspected them like I did and they checked out clean, then it might be a pretty good deal.

It could be a really good score if the control boards are good.

I'm guessing these came out of some military related simulator. I'd love to know how many hours are on the chassis and tubes.
