Looks like lots of snipers.

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

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

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.
