Thanks Man,

Interestingly I contacted Bruce at Rosstech about becoming a retailer and I was turned down as they are not looking to expand the retail network in UK at present.

Needless to say I was rather disappointed.

Didn't think there was that many sellers of their products.

I like the idea, as I have an old laptop pretty much only used for car diagnostics and it won't last forever.

As someone who bought VAG-COM and upgraded it to VCDS-Lite (paid, registered) I'm obviously looking for at least some sort of trade-in offer, probably on the 10-VIN version.
$100 off would probably be enough, $50 a bit miserly....

Trade-in offer would be amazing, but honestly, it wont happen.

I was watching genuine cables on ebay for the past year or so and they all always sell within like 10quid off the brand new price from place like Gendam.
Good news for sellers, as plenty of idiots out there buying second hand cables for almost new prices, the only downside are the final eBay fees which are ridiculous.

Good news, standard cables won't lose much or any value in my opinion.

Why not? Surely they'd like money to convert a perpetual software licence into a piece of hardware with a finite warranty and finite life.
Cables/dongles last a very long time, this won't.
