Re: Jim Rojas "panel unlocking"

[Jim Rojas <jrojas@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The takeover market is huge here in the USA. Many dealers swap out the
locked board, with either a fresh or unlocked one, usually at no, or
very little cost to the customer. When the dealer accumulates enough of
these boards, they ship them to me. Many dealers cannot afford to pay
the unlocking fee or even the cost of shipping them to me, so I take in
boards & parts on trade.
