interesting !
but if there are service note maybe all the capsules are faulty ...  :-[
If they are good so, the buyer will make a lot of money reselling them ...

I went in yesterday to check them;
it looked like they have been sitting in boxes for years so probably they all need reskinning.
most of the notes had something like polar pattern not equal or noise in the capsule etc.
but yeah..someone will make  a lot money selling them

Could this be the most sophisticated April fool's joke ever?

3600euros was the final bid. I hope we get a finders fee whoever bought the lot.
