I'm just curious and somewhat perplexed about this auction:
I'm on satellite broadband myself and have bought a few of these modems from eBay over the past couple of years. I've never paid more than $5 and never seen any go for anywhere near the price this auction is currently at.
Anyone have any ideas on WTF is going on with this??
It seems to be a regular thing with those who assume the eBay price must be lower than anywhere else. There's been some lulu's on computer gear and the "Bunny hunters" sometimes reel in a good one :-) AFAICS a lot of of folks don't research before bidding.

i wouldnt even bother goin satellite. slow, gotta wait for transmission up and transmission down,.....
I guess they don't! These come up fairly frequently on fleaBay, sometimes listed at silly prices (the gear *is* very expensive without the now gone subsidy), but until now I've never seen anyone, let alone a few ppl, bid on such auctions. They usually go for around $1 to $20.
Thanks for the advice.
I suppose I could trying yelling out ones and zeros *really* loudly, in the hope that some altruistic person 60KM away who is within earshot, with a phone line and ADSL, is willing to transcribe it all onto the Internet for me. Do you think it worth trying? Then I could be rid of this horrible satellite setup. Cheers.
