With a seller ID of aapplebigusa you would think they would know better?
And that it's not a 286 386 ?

I don't think the seller can be blamed for it, though. The title and description say "advertisement booklet". So, it's all Intel's fault Smile Maybe this booklet is really worth that much...

I see you were bidding on it too Smile

but my final bid was only going to have 2 low numbers in it
even the real thing has gone for a lot less than that Shocked

I only wanted it so I could use it as guide to restore my SBC 80/10 back to original.. but I suppose pics will have to do Laughing

an interesting sales pitch for some black 1Mb Pentium Pros Laughing


For sale are brand new 200 MHz Pentium Pro tray processors.
These are for a man with hair on his back, who won't settle for a wimpy 256K L2 cache

How about this

Seller states the condition as new then says this

You are bidding on a pair of socket pulled matched in mint working condition MC68HC000LC8 2C44C QEEF date 8905 Mil Spec temp I believe, pulled from working Mil Spec Boards.

They aren`t Mil Spec temp either

The last chip I bought from him was suppose to be new also but by the time I received it most of the pins were bent.

On top of that, the seller is asking $300 for two MC68HC000LC8 processors Smile

That's interesting. Is it genuine? I would have thought if the seller thought he could get $399,000 for it, he would at least put up more pictures of better quality. At least he does offer to hand deliver it to anywhere in the world!

If it had also included an unused copy of Windows 1.0 on the original media it might be worth 0.01% of the asking price:)
