Title: What is up with this auction? (Weird)

Does this seem right to you?

Hard Drive adapter (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8751117099)

They easily clear the onboard RF modulator by about 0.50mm

I wonder if he knows how much 0.50 mm is.
Is it only one adaptor or what? It says 'adapters'
He is also selling 68040 CPU's, but only one.  :crazy:

Hmm!! 0.5 cm perhaps?

And he's a bit over-priced, you can get the cables that do the same job cheaper brand new at AmigaKit.com (http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=209&osCsid=4eb285b4c711a142b216fbf83a2bf94a).

Even this is over-priced. The very same adapter as in the auction is 1.60 Eur in a German electronics shop (http://www.reichelt.de/index.html?ARTIKEL=ATA%2044-40A).

The only obstacle is that they have a minimum order value of 10 Eur and probably only ship to Germany. But if I buy two such adapters, a 3.5" IDE cable and a CD-ROM drive, I can add the CD-ROM to my 2.5" HDD for less than any of the above.
