Sounds unbelieveable to me.....

This is why I hate usenet sometimes.

The fucking card is worth like 8.00.

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...

Not really.  It's actually the card that *came with* some versions of
the 7600.  Most of the computers it would work in are already faster.
All the computers he listed in the "works with" section originally came
with 604s running at anywhere from 150-350MHz.  How does a 604/132 help?

Only as a replacement for a processor failure.   so this is essentially
a replacement part for a set of computers any of which can be had whole
hog for under $100.

Shipping stuff is a PITA.  I don't think it's unreasonable to add in an
extra $5-10 for handling, especially on an item that's not going to sell
for much.  If I'm selling some parts, I don't want to deal with the
hassle of shipping for nothing if my item only sells for a few bucks.
I'd rather have not sold it.

It's the PCs with $69-79 shipping that get me.  You know darn well those
don't cost more than $20-30 to ship even with packing material

It fucking doesn't.

The whole OP was a fucking scam.

There is no way the card is OSX compliant, as you mentioned most of the 
mentioned machines already have a faster card in them from the 
factory....the 7600,8600, and the9600.

So all in all it's the reason usenet sometimes make me cringe.

Buyer beware...be very aware.

there is no need for such foul language. Have a little class, will you? You
can get your point across without having to show everyone that you live in a
trailer and were born in a barn.

usenet has no fucking class boundaries.

For those who did not take the time to view the auction, and actually 
research XPostFacto, YES, this CPU card DOES work with OS X, and YES, I 
have RUN OS X ON THIS CARD!

http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/

"While Apple has limited its support for Mac OS X to those machines that 
originally came with a G3 or G4 processor, it is possible to install Mac 
OS X on some earlier machines. The unsupported machines that work now 
are the 7300, 7500, 7600, 8500, 8600, 9500 and 9600, as well the clones 
that were based on one of these systems (the Umax S900 and J700, and the 
Power Computing PowerWave and PowerTower Pro). Other models that use the 
PCI architecture may be made to work in time. Version 2.2 of XPostFacto 
adds limited support for the original Powerbook G3, the 3400, and the 
2400. "

What tasks did you perform on a regular and consistent basis using the 
132 card and xpostfacto?

I can drive my car with all four wheels flat, but that doesn't mean I 
should put it up for sale and describe it as a good runner.

and you evidently have no class. Thats too bad.
