Just found out today that the auto correct on my phone is going haywire.
It just auto corrected bells to balls. I'll look back at my recent posts and fix what I find.

Ha! That makes sense because some of your posts were fine and then others were all wonky. I had an auto correct on an early android that kept suggesting my various passwords inside SMS's, emails, etc. The opposite of helpful 😵

Life? Don't talk to me about life.

Yeah, the combo version of the card (with Twisted Pair, Thick-AUI, and Thin-BNC) isn't all that common these days, I don't think it's worth nearly the price the seller is asking for, especially considering you can get a card with any one or two of those connectors for 1/10th the price on eBay.

I've got a bunch of these sitting in a box, 🤣. Why would anybody pay that much?

They're actually only worth about $8 - $12 each with shipping, usual market price anyway.

I actually just bought one (the full combo version) for $16, shipping in. I thought that was okay.

I contacted the seller and they said it was an error. They've corrected the listing and it does have free shipping now

I found an ISA Etherlink-III card on ebay for $8 when I posted that and several others for $12 US. They're listed two ways. Some people list them as "3c509B" some people list them as "Etherlink III"

You sure it was not someone yanking the seller chain? Like they buy it and never pay?

Anyway on my end it says the listing ended, but says nothing about it selling.

Then apparently you aren't looking at the listing correctly. It's gone, and it sold for full price, some how.
