Agreed.  When I originally checked, he had something like 78 boards 
available.  Any price totaling $100 or less is a good deal in my 
opinion.  If you are even toying with getting the idea of getting into 
the CoCo3FPGA project or even FPGAs in general this is a great 
opportunity.  Deals like this are very rare on eBay and the DE1s that do 
come up fairly infrequently are usually priced way higher.
