I was bidding like crazy on ebay to get the best deal on a Belkin N1 Wifi N router  – I came close twice to getting an N1 Vision (sweet) for under $100 – but I got sniped both times.  After I had almost given up hope on getting a deal, I found a normal N1 router for $50 +$8 pop up for buy it now right after the auction I lost ended.  Score.

Lightly used but confirmed working and with all the original stuff (not that I give a damn, but it adds to the experience) – shipped from NY.

I also scored a great deal on my AR5008E-3NX.  I shot my best offer of $20 (free shipping) off to China, and got a counter-offer of $21; with free shipping and compared to the other prices on the net, this was a killer deal, imo, so I snatched that bad boy right up.

With the money I saved I managed to afford a $10.45 (after shipping) 12″ UFL to SMApiggy cable, which if you haven’t been following, is for the 3rd antenna used in N cards.

Parts List so far:

• Belkin N1 Router – $50 + $8
• Atheros AR5008 miniPCI-e wifi card – $21
• 12″ UFL to SMA pigtail – $8.50 + $1.95
