Not a bad price, but I did a quick search and found this

I guess for 20 bucks it isn't bad.

the biggest problem I see is that it uses a serial connection. Those ports are starting to dissapear, and from what I've seen, WinXP doesn't always play nice with them. The auction also says you can download the drivers, but from what I could see, lots of people were looking for them, but nobody could find them. If that's the case, it's worthless.

The tablet I've always heard recommended by graphic artists is WACOM. (pronounced whak-um... not that I really care, but I thought that the way they pronounced it sounded cooler...lol). There's an auction for a used one here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3680&item=5158889879&rd=1), and it looks like there are plenty up for sale. Circuit City usually carries them for about $99...

WACOM, or graphire tablets are what most people use. 4x5 99.99 @ BB, 6x8 149.99 @ BB. CC and others have the same price.
