If anyone is vaguely tempted to buy the lot, I will buy one of them.

Some people are laughably dumb...

Mice that will sell for 20-25 bucks each BIN and they insist on combining into one listing? Ha.

I'll function as an international shipping hub if anyone overseas is interested and seller agrees to ship to Canada. However, you're paying seller from your account, you would just give my address.

He's got 739 auctions listed right now.  I suspect he just doesn't think it's worth the time and effort to list, pack and ship each one separately, since he undoubtedly got them near free...

I had assumed that.

However, if I found myself with a bunch of free potentially valuable objects, I'd exploit that...

It's not quite the same thing when there's an initial investment involved.

Searching the web suggests that MO27FO is the version with a wheel, not a scrollpoint. But at least it seems to be the 'Pro' shape.

By the way I didn't have much luck with the Mouse Suite software for the scrollpoint mice I have. Without it the scrollpoint works well for vertical scrolling. But after installing the software, I can't scroll at all in Firefox. In IE vertical scrolling is smooth but horizontal scrolling is jerky / works like it is on a time delay. In Chrome it works properly! Since FF is my preference I uninstalled the driver.

Yeah those are the wheel style:


Although those ones probably aren't bad, I myself think the scrollpoint is more useful (use it for panning around in graphics and stuff), you can find ergonomic wheel mice a dime a dozen.

Does the wheel light up like the ScrollPoints on later ScrollPoint-equipped mice?

Yeah it does, here's a stock photo:


But not all of the scrollpoint pros or scrollpoints light up if I'm not mistaken.
