Seller should have auctioned them one at a time. The one pictured is old style without the Windows keys, this makes it extra rare.

Hmm, affordable... So why no one makes this kind of boards anymore?

EDIT:
Very affordable... 2222 per board... Okay...

webwit · 21 May 2012, 23:03

Ouch...

Because it would devalue the second-hand market?

ripster · 21 May 2012, 23:06

For the record it's $8988. $7777 bid preceding. lol!

Mrinterface · 21 May 2012, 23:06

Sniper bidding....

In the last two seconds it jumped from 2K dollars to 9K

webwit · 21 May 2012, 23:07

For $8988 I'd sell the V80-5000!

I will come clean now. I am the auction winner for the one that webwit auctioned here on DT. It now seems like a good deal

. Maybe it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I might have started the craze.

dirge · 22 May 2012, 08:08

Someone post that info to cherry. They may start making them again!

kint · 22 May 2012, 16:33

What's stunning is that the 7K bid was given 5 days prior to auction end, and raised to 8888$ just a few seconds before the end. And then got overbidden. Someone really wanted those boards. Wow.

I would live to see that, and watch the buyer of this auction cry his/her retirement away.

I used to worry about Unicomp reducing my NIB IBM Mini prices.

No more.

hoggy · 22 May 2012, 22:02

Makes my datahand purchase seem flat normal. I feel much happier.

That one is just for beginners. You need one with without Windows keys, and a numpad. That's what the real pros use. Only $2222!

Heh, I am good. With $2K, I could upgrade my 5D mk II to mk III or get some nice headphone gear.

Yup, about a 100 bucks for a O2 amp and the same for a ODAC .
Leaves you some change to buy decent cans
