A nice card if you have an older Mac.  $8 is about right (the auction 
started at $1).  Almost bid on it until I saw the catch: shipping rape.

"Winning bidder pays a set packing and shipping, packing and
 handling charge of $19 anywhere in the mainland 48 States."

An Apple processor card weighs a wee bit under 1 pound.  Add a boatload 
of packing peanuts and a free priority-mail box... shipping is $5.75 
with free delivery confirmation.  Add another $1.30 for insurance...

As a long-time eBay seller, I find this type of gouging unacceptable.  
In fact, it's against eBay rules - it's fee avoidance.  I didn't turn 
'em in tho - he's a newbie.  Hopefully, he'll learn...
