  I'd say getting my Motorola Mariner 33.6/10-bt PCMCIA card for $129
counts as a good deal.  It works great in my TP560-120.  The networking
side runs non-stop, and the 33.6 modem isn't as good as my USR Couriers,
but it is better than most that I've seen.

  28.8/10-bt Mariners usually go for about $99.

  I also stuck wavetable daughterboards on my SB16 and my roomates SB16
for $14 each.  They aren't the best out there, but they did wonders for
MIDI music in games.

  As with any any auction it takes patience and a clue to get good deals.
It always pays to pay attention to the full actual price of an item.
