Actually, not so many Caty. I've only paid full freight price for my NA 3597 last year when first released. The rest i've bought 2nd hand [albeit some were near new], all advertised as 'not working' 'need repair' or 'for parts only'. Some were in fact bricked, but more than half were very easy fixes, some only needed firmware upgrades. A 2595LM i got for under ten bucks + 8 bucks postage, it had a smashed screen which from memory cost a bit over $20 from China including postage, so ~$40 all up and a bit of time. A couple of 3x0 and 6x0 cost only a few dollars each.
