Earlier this month we saw the Galaxy Tab A 9.7 available for $215, a significant discount from its usually high price. This brought it down to only slightly less than what the 8-inch model typically costs. Except now folks in the US can pick up the latter on eBay for even less.

Instead of $230, you're looking at handing over just 0. This is an open box item. The seller says the tablet will come in the original packaging, but the box may be "lightly distressed." Fortunately you get a one year warranty. That's plenty of time to figure out if the device is going to crap out on you.

The 8-inch Galaxy Tab A comes with a 1.2GHz Cortex-A53 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, a 5MP rear-facing camera, and a 2MP front-facing one. Thanks to a metal chassis, it's a more premium feeling device than the regular Galaxy Tab line. If all of this sounds good, you know what to do.
