Title: I hate it when people do this crap on Ebay.

A simple google search can do that for you.

And Mindrec has them new for 120.

Holy crap, that's absolutely ridiculous. I wonder if anyone will actually buy something that stupid?

By the way, I bought my TE brand new from MindRec for $120 and then I looked on eBay later and noticed an auction for a new one for over $300... insane.

I think its a great idea.

If someone is actually handi-capable enough that they don't know how to operate the intranet well enough to find a TE at a better price, then this guy's doing them a huge favor.

Seriously.

Although, I don't expect anyone who's competent enough to find this auction be differently-enabled enough to need the info.

Its no different than people selling instructions on how to build a MAME cabinet.

There are so many folks who do similar things... all of these sellers are lame.   Lame.

Back in the day, though, I'd see similar stuff in mail-order catalogs / magazine ads: folks would be selling information that was already published by the government. Lame.

You mean like that scrawny, annoying bastard with the 's all over his suit who yells at the camera on his infomercials?  Yeah I hate those type of guys too, but mostly because I'm jealous I didn't think of conning people into paying for free information first.
