Yeah, I have to admit it's in beautiful condition... but good God...  I could spend that money on a really nice i7 system and run Dice, and still have change for Taco Bell.  For months.

To top it off, they say they have sold 3 128D machines (at this price?) in recent days. I might believe there's one fool out there with more money than brains, but three of them? I not so sure....

Don't think so, Starfox.  The most expensive completed sale I could turn up in search since end of January is this one.  $500 seems to be the top price.

Now, to be fair, their current $2,500 auction did not turn up in my search, which it should have.  So ::shrugs::

FWIW the auction is for a 128CR (the front just says D but the back says DCR and it's metal and not plastic).

I think that's par for the course in the US.  I'm pretty certain only the DCR was sold in the states.
