Twice now I've found someone selling one of those cheap, and both times I
advised them of the actual value instead of grabbing it, both times the bid
went over my max.

Bad habit, but the SCSI ethernet boxes are so thinly traded that I let
myself slip into picking up only the known unit, Asante, and leaving others
behind. If I see a Kinetics I'll get it.
