Nice profit there! How could someone sell a PCMCIA network card for $1.25? They must have been really desperate to sell it.

These are two great deals, however what portion of your life would you have to give up to gain the amount saved(like $15). Doen't everone on ebay feel like they are bidding against the seller just to drive the price up?

<---sucks at ebay, therefore I hate it.

Watch Star Trek on the TNN network. The Ferengi are an alien race who live for profit, and the art of the deal.
