Some of the problems:

No screen cover and rather expensive to buy when you find them.
No blank PC card slots
high shipping charges (of course most on ebay seem high these days.
$14.99 seems high
Stylus - is the cheap kind that are through away.
You do not see the one you are getting
No Battery Cage
No battery charger (AC adaptor)
unable to use out of the box

The bottom line is that you are not done at $60. You will have to pop
for a cage or a AC adaptor.
