Just wanted to say cheers to you Neon_wa, your Pentium Pro listing titled "@@ Pentium Pro for gold CPU scrap.... I don't think so @@", we all knew it would sell for more than a typical P-Pro, and the title was pretty clever, gave me a good laugh, thanks man.

I have a feeling you could get better price. You didn't have "ES" or "Sample" in the title, and didn't advertise the auction in the forum.

Edit: the auction ended, so I can post a link:

Probably true.. but a realistic final value

I personally dont like using words like that unless they are on the chip.
was using the other listings to get people to look

But by the counters... not sure if it would of made a difference
blank pro >> 267 at auctions end
all the other items had 140 - 160 views
also the blank had the most watchers at 19

least I did better than I think this guy will

haven't got the heart to burst his bubble.. and tell him that it is a blank HP chip
