Why doesn't someone buy it and see? eBay/paypal offers buyer protection.. doesn't it?

Way too underpriced for something in high demand - no wonder nobody's touching it.

Buy and try. Pay through PP with CC.  Grin

Surprisingly for me this deal looks legitimate. If in doubt ask for more pictures. And pay with PayPal. And chargeback when the ASIC arrives in working condition  Grin

edit: It have jgarzik picture. It is not legit.

The first picture in that auction is my picture, from the floor of my house:
http://garzikrants.blogspot.com/2013/01/avalon-modular-room-to-expand.html

They rotated the picture, but you can clearly see the exact same styrafoam debris, size and distribution, near the case.

If it is Garziks picture with intentional manipulation, then I call it scam. Probably someone without camera can use pictures found on internet, but there is no reason to rotate picture.

The pics of the boxes are from user libertybucks.
It's a proven scam and you guys that are ebay users should report it.
