Igot it for half the usual price....guess I should have asked for photos. I noticed many CPU's sold on ebay have this issue (in those cases they mentioned it) but I can't understand how it happens, for instance I noticed a 6386 for sale where they mentioned that it was missing a few and because of that it doesn't work in a dual socket configuration.
