    Can somebody explain to me about the eBay coupons? Why are people bidding over $4 when there appear to be identical ones for sale for $2.25 with free shipping?

    And how did #2 manage to buy one today with a coupon if the ebay ads say the physical coupon will be mailed?

    Sorry if these are dumb questions, just have not dealt with them before.

    Heh, never mind. I figured it out. The ones being bid higher than the Buy it Nows are electronic coupons; the others will be mailed.

    I got the $79 one from costco. I'm going to return it. WD has changed from using the mini USB to micro USB in that dock. So expect to buy some more micro USB cables if you wanna use it at multiple workstation w/o having to carry the dock around.
