Am I missing something, (like gold plating)

Or do they really think someone is stupid enough to pay $100 for a USED
1gb flash drive?

PNY Mini Attache 1 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive.
Buy it Now for - Only $99.99 on Ebay

And for an additional $15.99 you can get a one year warranty on it.
-WOW-

But at least the shipping is Free....

And it has a "Make an Offer" option.

I wonder if they would accept my offer of $1.00?

I'm tempted to do it....
I've got an old eBay listing on my wall at work, for two "Les Paul" oil-
paper capacitors for buy-it-now price of $145. These are the huge ones
about a half-inch diameter with color stripes. I don't even know how the
seller determined they were Les Paul capacitors, but that apparently made
them VERY special!

Because at the time the Les Paul guitars were made, they used the
Sprague Black Beauty caps.
They're crap, but these guys won't listen to reason. "Got'ta have 'em."

** Means they were extracted from a 1950s Gibson "Les Paul" guitar amplifier.

Commonly known as " bumble bee" caps.

I had a couple of leaky ones a while back and threw them out.

SILLY you! You could have sold them for $75 each on eBay. How could anyone
know they DIDN'T come out of a Les Paul amp? The leakage is probably the
cause of that "Les Paul" sound.
