I have that exact same router and mine is white. Cheap enough though so long as it doesn't go up much before it closes.
Only thing I would say when buying networking stuff like that, there is a lot of choice so don't go bidding too high on any single item there will be others.
Plus there are occasionally things listed where the person doesn't know what it is. I've picked up a few bargains where stuff isn't written up very well.

i had that router, was awfully bad for wireless, kept dropping out, unsure wether it was the netgear router itself or the netgear usb wireless dongles
