Here is an email from a "concerned" seller. I had a question for this seller, about whether or not they were selling hacked players:

I am well aware of who you are. I think you enjoy stirring the pot for those of us who sell legitimate merchandise. Read my feedback. We have never had a problem with our players. I think you need to find a new quest, and quit bothering good businesses, and putting fear in everyone's minds.
I do my very best to raise funding for our projects in Africa to help the poor, and you come along and tell everyone that ALL 4GB players are garbage. Thanks a lot! How many lives have YOU saved lately. You need to find something more constructive to do with your time.

My reply:
You, sir or madam, are an ass.

Have a look at all the 4GB players that you and I both know are hacked that are sold every day, every goddam minute on eBay. Think about how many thousands and thousands of dollars are going to these scammers and eBay every day.

I know what these players cost, I import them myself. The price on a TRUE 4GB player is almost double what a 1GB player costs. So do you like trying to compete with these goddam scammers, selling a hacked $20 player for 1/2 of what you have yours listed for? You better be blaming them if you aren't selling many.

I'll make you a deal - you send me a picture of the inside of one of your "true" 4GB players, showing the flash chip(s), so I can confirm it is really 4GB. If it is really 4GB, I will be more than happy to list you as a Recommended Seller in every one of my auctions. I will also add you to the "white list" of good sellers listed at http://www.mympxplayer.org

BTW - I volunteer at a local homeless shelter, so don't be throwing the good samaritan B.S. at me.
