I'm not sure how to feel about this - someone's selling a device with OpenWRT installed on it, and I'm the one who got that release of OpenWRT supported on that device (because I have a bunch of them).

@ryanc 1 person selling 1 used device with open source fw shouldn't be an issue IMO. If they were bulk buying and reselling them pre-flashed as a feature for profit that would be different.

@kneoghau Indeed, and the starting bid price there is less than what I paid for my used units.
