Samsung Earpods for $3 with free S&H [limit 2]

These cost just a bit more than a cup of coffee at Starbucks! The new condition Samsung earpods (model EHS64AVFWE) are on sale for $3 with free shipping by Tech Rabbit’s eBay store. An online doorbuster. Limit two per customer. Over 1600 units got sold in the last 24 hours per the listing there.

These are more earpods than earbuds, in that there is a speaker-y protrusion as opposed to the flat earbud and the canal insertion of an in-ear. They even come with a mic/remote. Let the price set expectations as they say 🙂
