Jeff,
I am curious about the story, but in the meantime I'd love to take this spare off your hands. I can pay you US$650 via PayPal ASAP. You can use our FedEx account # for shipping, too.
Also, do you have any pictures of the unit? You mention excellent condition, no scratches/dents, etc. right?
Let me know here or directly @ john AT elementlabs DOT com
