Not sure if there was one before, couldn't find one. There's a similar thread on 68kMLA and I think it's pretty useful for reporting eBay sightings and questions related to those items. (Hope this is Ok, also if this would be better in the Lounge, feel free to move this admins).
Here's a cheap original floppy titled "CD-ROM Tools Release 3.0", anyone know what that includes (and is this already archived)?

Also a neat brochure with Cube, Slabs etc, has this been scanned?

Oh my goodness, that's amazing! I'll be watching this closely, although I won't be surprised if it quickly rises out of my price-range. Would it be impolite to ask what range of offers you'd consider? I don't have a sense of what a realistic price for one of these bare boards is these days, let alone one in the box like yours...

I'd say fair market for a dimension without box and working is probably ~$1k at this point. Although I see an empty cube case just sold for $850 so honestly maybe don't listen to me ;D

Hi again! I was excited to see how your NeXTdimension auction was going to play out (I've been the high bidder for a couple days), but I just got notified from eBay that the auction was cancelled. May I ask if you still plan to sell your set, or if you've decided to keep it?
In all honesty I kinda expected the next round of bids to exceed my maximum, but I do hope to someday add a Dimension to our Cube which we occasionally exhibit at our free / public "Retro Roadshow (https://retroroadshow.org)" hands-on educational events (including a big one next month!).
Best,

I got a reasonable offer from someone that seemed pretty keen on fleshing out their collection - so the board will be heading to Europe (along with some other bits).

The external SCSI device looks interesting. It seems to be a removable storage device - either floppy or optical. But it does not have any identifying markings.
I'd like to put a bid in but I don't even have room for my current NeXT collection.

It was probably the original NeXT upgrade box for the mono turbo motherboard and they pulled the old mono board swapped in the monoturbo board and stored the original board in the box.

Hello NeXT Community: I have some NeXT cubes missing back panels and Chuck bought a few of them . He also sent me the photo type back panel that he had manufactured , I passed on it a few concerns we're no Fan which may cause over heating IMHO and the slot was not wide enough for the motherboard knock out to fit correctly. Also looked kind of tacky ..... and protruded I would have also choose different screws ,I'm not sure if it was 3d printed or a plastic mold but it could be modified it looks like and I guess it would be a temporary solution , the term prototype is kind of misleading.

I suspect this product may have been for a variety of computers with a SCSI bus, but because it was mentioned in the NeXT FAQ (item 5.13) (https://www.levenez.com/NeXTSTEP/faq.html), the seller has decided that the device was designed for NeXTs specifically. In fact the FAQ mentions several devices that do the same job, and I doubt the market for serial expansions for NeXT specifically was so big that there were multiple competitors going for it. More likely that vendors of devices like these aimed to support several different platforms.
A Google for ["uninet" "slat" "serial"] appears to confirm this --- one of the links is to a paywalled magazine archive with the blurb "Uninet SLAT Adds Serial and. Parallel Ports to DEC Vaxstation,. Sun, and Apple Macintosh. Computers. The Uninet SLAT provides additional. RS232C and Centronics ..." (OCR errors sic.)
But if you want to plug a bunch of serial terminals into your NeXT and you can find the software to support it, then this could be a good option!

It really does give the impression of a high quality finished product.This looks like the standard cardboard box a lot of my NeXT docs were delivered in. But it's definitely a nice design.

I guess maybe not so pricey in USA at the time as a lot of computer manufacturing was still happening then.
