[time-nuts] Thunderbolt - Hardware Versions - Performance & Differenences

[TheInfamousFlavio at hotmail.com]

Take note that it is a very short auction-- 3 day.  I would interpret this 
as the seller trying to do a quick test of the waters--possible nervousness. 
Note, no minimum bid yet.  I still contend there is no market for these 
items at this price. Only people who don't follow this group will be the 
ones who rush in.  Beleive me I even felt it and I have zero need for one --  
just a curiousity.

The same thing is happening, as I'm sure NUTS in this group have noticed, 
with the Symmetricom Smartsplitters on ebay.  The vendor most likely has 
dozens  if not hundreds of these, they started out selling for high prices 
and if it wasn't for one buyer who keeps jacking up the bids on virtually 
every one so far ( I think this is illegal, I'm supprised no one has 
reported him to ebay yet) the price would be alot lower. It's been as high 
as $130 and now it isn't for the one shiller, the price would be in the 
$20-30 range.  Unless of course he is a legitimate buyer, the he can 
keep'em!  But if ebay gets wind of it, the vendor and he will have a LONG 
discussion.
