My expectation was not met! Someone got a really really good deal on that M5-1.

I saw it right away, but didn't post about it until it hit great finds.

Looks like the original bidder i***i won it. Looks like he found it before it was posted here. Good for you i***i !

I'm guessing either E TwentyNine or 1391406. :)

I dunno, the winner only has 84 feedback. I think etwentynine has more and 1391406 does almost for sure. I hear acfrazier was looking for one, maybe it was him?

Not me.  I remember seeing it and meant to put it on watch but forgot all about it...

That went far cheaper than I thought it would.  Far too many of those boards I post disappear and then no one posts anything about them.  It makes me sad.

I got the NEC board you posted the other day today! I love it. The blue alps are going into my kingsaver (when I buy that...it's my next purchase) when I get it! Thanks again for posting it!

Definitely a different board.
