hello im looking for people to post what STB that can handle ACM for the MC Channnels. i already know that the hdvr3500 can but with problems.
 
You can add the receiver I use: X2 M1HD+ to your list
It is ok as a receiver and plays the MC channels very well. You can't manually add PIDS if you wanted to add the Ku music channels on 103w.
How good does it sound now?
Also, the power supply is inadequate to move a H2H motor. I use it with a ASC1 dish mover, so it works fine like that.

I just looked on ebay and for some reason it is listed at $300 USD instead of $40. It must be better than I think it is ;-)

Some of the other cheap Chinese receivers - like DMYCO models - list ACM/VCM but I bought a iBravebox F10S last year that listed ACM/VCM but it did not receive the MC channels, so who knows...That thing was a complete piece of junk and waste of $70.

Likely what happened is the vendor is out of stock, so they sometimes leave the ad up and just put an outrageous price on it to hold it's place, I guess in the search results or something like that. If/when they get more in stock then they'll likely drop the price back down to where it was.

Maybe one of the regulars there on Ebay will elaborate on this practice.

Yes, I think that's right. The other thing some sellers do is show the product out of stock. There is a way for a seller to show themselves as "out of office" and/or show extended ship times in the listings, but apparently these particular sellers aren't aware of that. I've been selling on Ebay since 2003 so I may be more seasoned than some, but there are a million little settings on Ebay that can be tweaked and changed, so I can't really blame these sellers for not knowing which setting(s) to change. It DOES confuse buyers, though, to see an item with an exhorbitant price or see an item that had 9,000 units in stock, then none today.

eBay now charges a final value fee to sellers who end their listing early. So if you have a listing up and don't let it run to its scheduled end date, you pay 10% !

I found this out the hard way recently when I was selling an old iMac computer. I discovered a mistake in the listing and, since the item had a bid, I could only change it by ending the listing. Even though I corrected it and relisted it, eBay still hit me for 10% of the price! So I called them and after some difficulty got them to reverse the 10% fee.

That being said, I have still seen substantially overpriced eBay items. There are sellers who make money this way from unsuspecting buyers.
 
Used to be you could not list an item out of stock on eBay. If you had 5 and they all sold the listing ended. So you had to keep an eye on it and jack up the price at the last minute to keep it from ending.
If I sell the same thing as seller Y and he shows 29 sold, and my listing ends and I get in new stock and relist it starts over back to 0 sold.
29 sold looks better to buyers. So the practice was to jack the price up to hold the spot so your sales looked better.
I see a few have not discovered( like 3 years ago now) that you can have a QTY of 'zero' and hold your spot now, with out the outrageous price hike!
