Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if the facts
are as Al stated, then the seller was in no way gouging
anyone.  There is nothing wrong with accepting the
amount a customer wants to pay in an auction
environment.  Is Christies gouging customers when
someone pays an insane amount for a Van Gough?  I
certainly wouldn't pay anything over $2 bucks for one
but the next guy may be  willing to go $900k.

If you wish to give customers freebies, that's great
but it is by no means required or considered better
ethically. Now if the add was misleading in some way
you might have a valid complaint(still not price
gouging, i don't believe such a thing can exist in an
auction, or always exists in an auction depending on
your perspective). But if the only off statement was
the SNMP thing, that doesn't qualify as misleading.
Goofy fuckup, yes but not misleading, those CPUs will
support SNMP just fine.
