I guess this relies on the eye of the beholder.

The item is so unique that it is hard to say if the auction is a good deal or not.

If you are willing to pay for a dev kit piece that you'll never really be able to use.... go for it. Obviously it is a collector piece and not a player piece to add to your collection.

You have to decide if you want it or not, as i have no idea how you are building your collection.

Personally- i can't use it, so that is the first strike. I'm not a developer nor am i tech savy so i can't figure out how to use it and that is the second strike, thirdly- i have no idea where exactly it came from so i can't really ask around about it... strike three.

It is novel however. I personally wouldn't pay over 20 bucks for it though.

I like how they added "wow" at the end of the auction title.

That is very awesome... yet I do agree that paying over 20-30 for it without any kind of extra components or knowledge of the device is unwise

Never buy anything that doesn't have "wow" in the title. That's how you know it's a good deal.
