It sold for $7.50.  With $14.42 shipping that's $21.92, plus I would
have had to buy a cable.  Starts to be about the same price as a X10
remote outlet with keychain remote, which is what I use now.
Impossible to tell what the winning bidder's max bid was, so I am
comfortable letting this one go.  Someone got a bargain.

I think I'll just give X10 some more business.  Thanks for the help.
