I ordered a Serial to USB adapter and USB 2.0 PCMCIA card on the 17th, and got my package delivered last Wed or Thur.
The PCMCIA card looks brand new to me, complete in retail packaging. The adapter cable (which allows me to plug my serial cable device onto my USB-only laptop) came in a sealed bag, complete with drivers and manual. Superb deal, as I was going to buy both of these things independently (the cable at bestbuy, and the card at newegg); I must have saved at least $15, not a huge saving, but can't complain since I actually needed these things (yes, I do jump on a lot of HOT DEALS, just because they are hot deals, not because I am actually in need of these things, lol) It's a good thing they came quickly (and together), or else I would have canceled my order this week.
