What is your question?

"Does the Rockbox community realise that an 8Gb Sansa E280 is available for only $60 from the link provided?"

"As the E280 is a target supported by Rockbox, does the community agree that this is something of a bargain?"

and lastly:

"Happy now?"

:-)

Well, it would be cool if it said in big letters ALL MODELS SHIPPING ARE V1.
There's no way to know though... Just get 'em on ebay.

The advert quotes a model number of SDMX48192A70, perhaps that's a clue for anyone who doesn't have an e280 but wants one on a budget. I'll try to find my wifes 'boxed v1 and see if the number matches, but caveat emptor as always.

I think it's been proven several times that the only true way to tell is the firmware version number.

Getting a cheap V2 is a great reason to work on the port.

Perhaps the response came across a bit snippy, but it was supposed to ape Prime Ministers question time - and that tends to make you sound like an @rse :-)
