i'll take another look, but vast majority are £65+

https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=VMG1312-B10A&_sop=15

the first one on this list appears to be a slightly different model though (based on the photo).

All the buy it now ones with long listing times are vastly overpriced, need to be patient and watch closely for a while till a reasonably priced one comes up. If you look through the completed listings none of the stupidly priced ones actually sell.

I have purchased a new VMG1312-B10A & VMG8324-B10A (as in still with the peel off plastic on) for less than £20 each in the past 6 months, you just need to check on ebay fairly regularly and be patient.

edit: Also that first one in your link is a VMG1312-B10D avoid.

I would highly recommend the 8800nl v1 if you are looking to use it in bridge. . There are a couple on eBay  Has always out performed my zyxels being the 8324,8924 plus the 3925.. there's one with a starting price of a £10.

The first one is a -B10D, so it's an incorrect listing.

Both definitely B10A I think. You have to scroll down a bit to see the original listing (with photos and all) :)

£40 new?
i've not seen any for that price.
broadbandbuyer lists them at £110

Look at the actual sales on eBay.
Pointless looking at what people are asking for. If I list my modem for £200 that doesn't make it worth that.
I always check what an item achieves in past listings.

The VMG1312-b10A pops up regularly around £40-50 new. The A being important as the D modem has an inferior budget Broadcom chipset.

I have "VMG1312-B10A" as a saved search on eBay. I get notified every time a listing appears. If your budget goes that far and your interested in sourcing that particular model then using the saved search function might be the way to go.

Currently there's a new model for £49 plus postage. Not quite the £110 that some are trying to charge. Outrageous pricing imo.

@highpriest Just realised we are probably at cross purposes: johnson, roseway and myself are all referring to the first one in the link posted by chenks

They weren't discussing the 2 links you posted, but the link 2 posts above your post.

It's a search for "vmg1312-b10a" but the very 1st listing is a D model.

I sent the seller a message asking if he was deliberately misrepresenting the version. He has now corrected it - sort off! It now says B10D.A

well i did find one for a cheap price on ebay.
ordered it, got delivered and it came without a power adaptor (listing made no mention of it not having one).
contacted them and they said it doesn't have one.

i advised them of their misleading listing and it's now on its way back to them.

they had it listed at £65 (for a second hand one), with the option of making an offer, i offered circa £20~ which was accepted.
shows you that they were just chancing their luck.

The VMG1312 only needs a 1A 12V adapter IIRC... none lying around the house? Pretty much any modem/router you bought in the past 10 years will have come with one.
