Another cube on ebay, and its serial number is lower than the one previously discussed, 419 vs 774.

HMM... that is weird .. the pics are the same.  I would not see how all those bidders backed out on their bids, unless something was wrong in the listing and the seller canceled it??  Is that possible?  Hopefully it is not just another cube, and they re-used the pics from the old auction.

Strange.

Yeah it's the same serial number.

Two points here:

1) From sellers auction:

"The photos are representative of the item and all the components for sale."

2) I asked the seller this:

"Please consider changing the photos where the serial number is prominently displayed. That can change the value dramatically.
Thanks

Yeah, it would not be cool to pay so much and realize you got something different when it reached your door!

@Nightengale: aha ... good research. I find it really annoying when sellers don't bother to use real photos or at least make it really obvious that you're looking at representative photos. While looking at the auction, I never chanced upon that "disclamer"...
