FS: Netscreen 5XP router (new, cheap)

[Shadowfire]

This is new, it's been taken out of the packaging to test it, but thats it. Instruction manuals and documentation CDs are still in the original shrink wrap.

I'm selling this becaue I need the money badly to pay chimney back and pay off my bills. Also, this is pretty much extra for me, I already have a D-Link router and the features of the Netscreen are a bit much for me.

I'm asking $400, shipped
This router goes for ~$500 usually. In fact, if you wanted to make a quick $100 or so, you could buy it and immediately resell it. I'm selling it here because, like I said, I am really short on cash and I need to get it sold quickly.

Here are some photos and the product overview:
