That one does sound promising, potentially in better condition since it's allegedly been sitting in a closet since 1994.  However it isn't listed as tested/working/guaranteed as the other one.  Also for me it's currently at a higher price at $66+$15=$81 vs $76+$0=$76 for the other.  Guess we'll see how they develop.

This NIB Space Saver (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180560085886&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) recently showed up.  As much as I'd like to have a NIB Space Saver, this one barely showed up with nearly 7 days to go and is already $55+$22.65=$77.65 to me.  Don't think I'll be able to hang in with the bidding this one.

*Update - already up to $113.75 plus shipping so confirmed that I can't hang in with this bidding, :-(

No need to snipe.  Just enter a bid for $500 and it's yours.

What about I enter a bid of $500 in -your- name and you give it to me?  Hah, too rich for my blood.  I might try bidding a few bucks $76, but not a lot.  I'm sure I won't get it, the feeding frenzy at the end will leave me in the dust I'm sure.

I didn't realize this one was ending so soon.  Went for $78.00+$15.00=$93 which could be a pretty decent deal, as the prices on these are running lately, if it works and has really been stored in a closet for the last 16 years.  Just a bit of a gamble since it wasn't guaranteed.

Somebody upped it to $78, not a lot higher.  A little more patience, almost there...

$80, creeping up, but not anything dramatic, yet.

See? You would have owned it for $79+shipping had you bid $500.

Hehehe, just kidding.

I could, but I don't want to take the last step to using PayPal.
I couldn't justify it...but I could afford it. That red-text beauty you have torments me.

Is it just paypal, or are you averse to any e-money wiring service? I personally know of some alternatives like zashpay or amazon payments.
