Brand new ACA1231@42 with a faster CPU and built in clock circuit is only about 45£ more at Vesalia (in stock).
Doesn't sound too extreme to me..
It's not like the ACA1230 is OLD.. ;-) It's still pretty new..
And the 28 is not what I'd call slow. (It's what I have, and I'm happy with it..)
Price high or low? That's a personal call...
But "over the top"? Naw, that ain't e-bay pricing..
Besides, he didn't call it ULTRA RARE! ;-)
ACA's are great cards, and I love my 28.
(And the clock circuit is only a few bucks...)

(p.s. Just noticed the "PayPal Gift" part. My personal (IMHO) advice is never buy anything using PayPal Gift. Too much risk. Just add a bit for the fees and ask for regular PayPal. PayPal Gift is a problem waiting to happen, with no recourse for the buyer..)
