FS: Sinere Nanominox

I have some unused Nanominox that I'm selling. Got it a few months back and decided I didn't need it. I heard Sinere isn't producing anymore so I thought someone might want it. Unopened and stored in the fridge the whole time. Ebay Link: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330394495452
