THE only problem i have is this. we all know how rare and valuable these cables are and so does the person selling them. now by putting them on ebay they are hoping that a person who isnt on this list and doesnt know where they came from will hopefully get into a bidding war with only an hour left making the 49. disappear in a cloud of over anxious dust. if the cables was offered here first for those of us that actively use the emates then i would say yes the person isnt going for any profit. but we all know that ebay is the place to go if u want to get paid for an item at above cost. and we also know the person trying to sell this one is only in it for the money. he doesnt care about the list as anything more than a barrel full of money for him to dip in at his leisure. correct me if im wrong.
MHO OF COURSE,

Same source as the the one previously posted at
http://www.thisiswhatwedo.com/emate/index.html
However, if it's being listed for $40 - ebay fees, then the $49 price on
the website isn't exactly "not a profit making exercise, but simply an
attempt to prolong the life of the fantastic Newton eMate" when simply
hanging on to them for $49 forever would recoup the "not making a
profit" costs.
