There's this one Ebayer selling Excalabur(sp?) Grandmasters that does not have
the words "chess computer" in his auction.  To see his auctions search
"grandmaster chess game".  He's selling brand new units for $125 - which is not
bad.

If you sort that search by price - they come right to the top.  almost every
auction he's selling 6 units - so your winning bid will be $125 = a lot of them
are not selling.  That unit is much weaker than advertise - maybe 1750 -1800.
