Is this worth anything?

[blaze3927]

Hi
found this on the website of the local ex-government stuff
http://www.allbids.com.au/Buy/?T=CIM-K- ... &ID=305052

wondering if its of any use?
(for consoles and stuff)

Maybe. Buy it if you can get it cheap enough, because if it's worthless I'll bet it has lots of cool parts inside.

Is that a plastic card printer?

I guess you could take it apart and use it as a case for something.

Perhaps you could print logos and stuff for projects with it...?

[blaze3927]

I'll put a bid in, almost everything goes cheap on that site, at least once a month you'll see 2005 model 15 inch lcd's going for a buk.

Erm... FAKE IDs.

If you can go about it wisely enough, you can make several thousand dollars.

$200 for an ID seems reasonable.

Holy crap!!! I never thought of that!!!, I'm def gonna get it now XD, do you reckon the fact its missing a chute dispenser going to be a problem?

[Kurt_]

I doubt it. Worst case scenario you bride the sensor (if any) that detects if the tray is in there.
Also, there's a bunch of counterfeiting protection stuff like that has.

And if you're going to deal IDs, make sure of a few things.

1) You deal through trusted sources who get a small cut.
2) You pretend you're a trusted source as well, to make it harder to pin down the main dude. Hierarchies work quite well in these situations, just keep everyone separate enough that nobody knows who's on the top. It's how drug dealing works too.
3) Keep it discreet, don't go blabbing or posting signs or crap.

bugga according to the website info it only supplies drivers (which I cant find) for windows 95, 98 and NT

Discussing selling fake ids on a public forum linking to an auction with the device in question has got to be the stupidest thing to do ever. That being said, you should totally give me a protection cut.

(Cut as in money, not killing me)

I doubt there's much of a use for consoles and stuff, though.

It doesn't matter, any mod knows your IP address.

The cops can trace you from this forum.

Smart bro, smart...

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Fake ID's

I wouldn't actually make them but I could see how this could be pretty darn useful

Fake IDs? That makes my moneymaking idea (ROMs and an emulator on a CD) seem like a GOOD thing to do!

Did you code that emulator yourself? Don't profiteer off other people's hard work when they are doing this for fun.

That's not a serious idea, and neither is the fake ID one, I'm just saying that you guys are exactly 541.56721% more evil than me.
