Dear NEXT Fans,
while cleaning our basement we found a little (big?) treasure thats now on sale on ebay!
three next cubes and four next stations, partially still working. they ware in active use till 1999 and were then stored for 10 years in a dry basement. i tested all cubes and stations, what works and what not can be found on the ebay auction. here is a gallery showing the loot:

and here is the ebay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150363785728
some pictures:
the only problem is that we cannot ship the stuff - its just too heavy, to expensive. you have to come by and put it in your own car or arrange something.[/img]

this is stupid ... this lot will go for let say max 350 EUR, but people would buy each complete system (talking about cubes only) for 400 EUR plus adding 100 for shipping ... sorry :oops:
anyway I am interested in non working cube :)

Whow, now that's just around the corner from me (I'm living in Dortmund)...
Unfortunately, there's no Dimension Cube among the set as it seems. That's missing from my NeXT machines collection (as well as the NRW ;-)).

I would more merely be interested on one of the front bezels more than the cube itself. Actually, wanna trade bezels? ;)
They do however look like they are in very good shape.

At least one of those cubes has a NeXT Dimension card in it.

dear next fans,
first of all, i cannot change the running ebay auction and i have not enough time and passion to sell the parts seperately.
please, please bid at the auction and take all the stuff at once. then you can sell to others and keep what you need. its a matter of time for me.
you can also visit all the stuff before bidding - its located at:
Department of Biological Cybernetics
Faculty of Biology
University of Bielefeld
33501 Bielefeld
just use google earth - you cannot miss the university. you can call me beforehand ( 0177 7465055 ) and i will show you the stuff.
thanks for all of your interest ! i am happy to give the great stuff back to the community. (and our department will be happy and use the money for a small "next party" :-) )
