All I see are the RBS50Y Outdoor, or RBS50's on eBay that are more expensive than my original RBK50 pack and seem to come from overseas!

Amazon, eBay, JB, HN, etc etc etc. All same.
The fact that there isn't even anything listed on the Netgear website is the biggest worry however.
So, hoping to hear from someone that can confirm whether the RBS50 Satellite is officially available seperately.

I'm not saying they aren't available *at all*.
I'm saying that it is odd that Netgear does not advertise an actual stand-alone RBS50 stand-alone product (or multi-pack) to extend the RBK50 starter pack.
And yet, there *are* stand-alone RBS50s for sale on eBay (mostly from overseas) and Amazon (all from non-mainstream stores) at what I would class as extremely high prices (>AUD$500) for a single unit.
So if Netgear doesn't advertise a stand-alone RBS50, where are these coming from? And why mostly from overseas and at high price?
It feels like either some weird unbundling, or selling of refurb units, or something.
So, I'll say it again, it would be great to hear from a Netgear rep as to what the official position on availability of expansion products for the RBK50 package, beyond the RBS50Y Outdoor unit. Specifically, is there an official RBS50 single unit, and/or multi unit, package.
