    Funky little device here. :)Link.

    USB01Large.jpg
    * 4 port 2.0 USB Hub with 480Mbps transfer rate
    * Backward compatible with USB1.1/1.0
    * USB consumption current: 500mA
    * O3.5mm Socket for the optional 2A power adaptor
    * Operating Voltage: DC 5V±5V%
    * Combo extension cable 1.5m long with USB
    * Audio and PS2 connectors
    * No driver needed
    Nowadays almost everything works on USB so sooner of later you’ll find all of your USB ports used. And USB ports are usually at the back of your pc, so every time you want to plug a USB device in or out you have to kneel down and move your pc. There should be an easier solution. With this USB hub you not only have 4 USB 2.0 ports right on your desk, you also have a PS/2 mouse en keyboard port and even an audio output and microphone. So from now on you can manage all the pc business from your desk. Keyboard, mouse and headset not included!

    To be honest not that great an offer unless you're buying a few as you'll be hit with 12 quid postage ? or something like that (yes I'm pro ibood though)

    Wow, can believe it sold out already. (300 pieces sold)

    Seemed like a bit of a rip off to me.

    For €7.95.. it's good value!

    For €7.95 (plus €12 postage) - not so much!

    My thoughts exactly. It's a bit, eh, pointless offering €7.95 items like that, isn't it? :rolleyes:

    IIRC, a few weeks ago they were offering a pair of toothbrushes for €19.99 + €12 postage. Colgate 'Mach V Turbo GTi' ones or something, I'll grant you, but toothbrushes all the same. Not electric ones, just special 'designer' ones...:confused:

    Is it me that's going mad?

    The postage reminds me a bit of Ryanair - cheap, till you add the taxes and charges!

    How about people try to suss out the p&P charges before they post? (Not a dig at Ruu or anyone, just an idea)

    They must make a fairly big profit out of the postage.
