I'm not sure what the market value is, but I'd be happy to take one off your hands for around £25 =]

I paid about £30 for mine (new), so I'd take that £25 offer if I were you

)
i just been looking at fleabay..because of my very first card i got was from there.. and it was locked . had to go throu the hassle of debugging it to open it..got rid of it to a ham friend who has done some wierd and wonderfull things with his..

but you got to admitt the skystar 2 has the best support out there.. that one of the main reasons i got them in the first place.

Well, I originally had a Twinhan 1020 a few years ago, and it cost about £40... I bought it because the SkyStar 2 was around £70 at the time. When the Twinhan packed in last month, I was shocked at how the price of the SkyStar 2 cards had come down. At £30, screw DVB-S2! So, yeah, don't feel too bad about giving £50 for them - you won't find any STB with these features on offer for £50.

At this moment on Ebay there is a 2nd hand one that is at £10 with 8 days left and a brand new one from Germany that is £39.99 + £6.00 postage and packing. I paid £35 for mine 2nd hand off ebay about 18 months ago
