Looks like lots of snipers.

I won it, and I put in a lowball snipe "just because"

Congrats, that's a pretty good price for an 8255 :) .

I have a similar one already.

Whichever is the upgrade, I will probably sell off the other one. But not until Jose finishes off his stock, because I would want to ask $40 + shipping at least. I always figure that "fully cleaned, tested, and complete" should command a premium, even if small, but ebayers are notorious for being pure price shoppers.

Still can't figure why none of 14 bids didn't go any higher than this. $35 is usually the minimum for these things.

Because considering the winner didn't really care, neither did anyone else.
