I bought mine on cl for $130 which was the going rate on E8400's at the time. I don't know if it's a steal, but it's not much more than a used E8400 and the extra .5 multi sure could help. However, some E8500's don't clock any better than an E8400, even with the higher multi.

After re-reading the op, I realized that it's BNIB. I'd say that its a pretty good deal then.
