1702's

[J.C. Wren]

    Generally speaking, any time you see 'RARE!' or 'L@@K!' in an 
auction, it's highly overrated common junk.  In fact, I generally use 
that as a criteria for the credibility of a seller.  If they have 
several auctions of 'RARE' items, I avoid them like the plague.  If it 
says 'Unusual', or some other word, I'll give them a look.  But I just 
love how ceramic 40 pin DIP 8051's are RARE!.  If they are, I'm sitting 
on a bloody fortune.
