(SOLD OUT) 4-port USB "Octopus" with one Mini-b ships for $8

One of the current deals of the day on eBay is the Ultra 4-Port USB Hub Octopus which includes three standard (type A) USB ports, and one "Mini b" for directly connecting smaller devices like mp3 players and digital cameras. The price is $8 with free shipping, and offered by Tigerdirect-on-eBay.

And for those who think through what they read, we are preempting your question, we don't know why they call "Octopus" something that only has 4+1 legs :) It's like Octomom having only five kids. Others call devices with "tentacles" like this "Squid" and such. Maybe it was the only relevant name that wasn't taken. Or they just didn't think it through :)

As usual with deals of the day on eBay, it may last from a few hours to a few days. We has no way of knowing.
