Hi Spitfire,

We just got a brand new pyxis with the BOND 007 fingerprint scanner. and Pyxis took away our old machines- So perhaps they resell the older models (the only difference I see is that you type in a password instead of the fancy fingerprint scan.) It's worth looking into, maybe they would even give you a deal.
