43k€ (ca. US$45k) "buy it now" asking price for a mono Cube that doesn't even have an OS installed. Crazy...

I wish them well. And if they are successful I'm going to plan my retirement 😀

Remember, only one or two of us per month can do this, or otherwise we'll flood the market! LOL.

Do we need to setup a forum thread so we can "schedule" this so as to not flood the market?  ;D

That's market manipulation - we have to believe in the power of price discovery. ;D

FWIW. I also put up a Dimension video card.

If anyone is interested in selling a Cube, I've always wanted to have one to go with my slab.  Looks like I just missed a good opportunity on one from gtnicol...  :(

Oh I missed that one, too. Would have been nice to watch and see for how much it went. For some reason I cannot / could not find the ebay auction. Could someone be so kind to send me link for it please?

Thanks.
