I noticed this ebay auction and I had to say "holy crap"
those were the exact words that ran through my head.
they've been tested, they look like they are in good shape..
the auction has 4 days left..
no one has bid..
and the starting bid is $40 USD and $74 USD in shipping
making this ..(if no one else bids on the lot) the cheapest per device + shipping for an n800 I have ever seen at a total of $12 and change per device.

Personally I have 3 n800's (a daily, an experimental, and a reserve if anything happens to the 1st two)
I can't possibly use another 12 more ..
but if there are at least 4 guys (or more) here who want to get together and purchase the lot ..who want to collect or utilize these little beasties..
there is no better deal I have ever ever ever seen in all the time I have monitored such auctions.

Indeed. 1½ days left and still zero bids. Shame the delivery is prohibitively high to my country.

yes, shipping rate is very high I think that is how he substitute for the low cost / current bid

Must be some international charge; shipping to my location is only $12.51. (So yeah, I may just place a bid...)

@Copernicus
if you really place a bid: would you think of checking cheapest sending possibilty to Europe (Germany/UK/Canada/..)? Time does not matter to ,e.
And if I am allowed to be that brazenly: would you send those units further to us?
I for sure would take one, if sending does not exceed reasonable limit. I am sure endsormeans one (or two/three ) and pichlo?

Just a question/plea, not demanding at all.
It would require some work, especially research, repackacking, custom declarations (value below 25$ should get through to us without any customs), ...

Absolutely! I have to admit I really know nothing about international shipping, but I'll take a look. (I wonder if the higher costs are due to shipping batteries? Perhaps removing the battery would help that...)

We'll see if people start bidding on it tomorrow...

Thanks !

afaik there is no higher shipping due to Li-Ion from America (totally different story from Finland though!). I have no idea where this unreasonable shpping prices come from. But they stopped me a few times ordering from the U.S. The prices for private packages should not exceed 20/25$ (that was around what I paid last last year), hoping for even cheaper possibility...
