Looks like the seller is trying to create an artificial impression of scarcity. Yesterday the description said they had 5 available with 6 sold. Today it says there are 4 available with 28 sold. They have 70+k feedback score, so there is a chance I'll get what's advertised.

SAS3008/3108 is 7 years old. I haven't paid more than $30 for an 8-port SAS3 HBA since last summer.

I bought from them before. They can be slow to ship sometimes and can ignore your messages. But the stuff eventually comes and works as advertised.

This is a 12Gbps SAS interface. They are more expensive than the 6G ones.

I bought some hp SAS3 cards based sff8087 under $30 but I don't recall to finding them easy at that price on eBay but sure, it can be found. I bought one because I need a SAS3 card with SFF8643 with ports on the edge to work with my CSE 847.

If you need one, I think this is a good price, especially at $35 (or lower I didn't try $30).

I am not talking about HP H240. I mean major OEM brand with LSI SAS3 chipset and SFF8643 connectors. I would not pay more than $30.

I'm having a hard time finding anything anywhere near that low a price that isn't a mezzanine or Dell mini-mono form factor. Maybe I'm just searching wrong/poorly. Can you share any listings where you find cards at that low a price? Thanks!
