As the title says, there is an auction on eBay for 8 more of these.  Here is the link:

I just bought two of them to give away to developers that want to write software for MorphOS.  If anyone wants to help with that effort by chipping in some money to me to help pay for the systems I am buying to give away, contact me via email.  I am saving for my X1000 system, but thought the price and availability of these better G4 MacMini's with the 64mb VRAM was too good to pass up.  Specially when I have two developers waiting for systems and these are easy to ship cheaply.

Good luck and look quick, as the remaining 8 MacMini's will probably be bought quickly at that price.  They usually sell for almost double that price.

The machine is close to twice as fast as a Pegasos 2, it decodes and plays x264 720p streams (on MorphOS) with no problem, it's very silent, very small and good looking. At this price it's a great opportunity! It's a *great* MorphOS computer, with MacOS as a bonus!
 
And this is not "the current bid" or anything like that, it's the *buy now* price!

It costs EUR €111, everyone pays the same price. You want it? Pay up. Otherwise don't. Simple.

Good news for those with little money to spare on hobbies, is that with the MorphOS 3.0 release, the license cost may drop for some machines.

Until they stop illegally charging 19% VAT to non-EU buyers then I won't.  Simple.

Again - it's *not* illegal. You may not *like* paying €111 (and then you shouldn't), but that's a different matter. From my personal perspective it's worth even the €150 that was the previous price, and it will be worth it even more if they drop prices even further after the MorphOS 3.0 release...

So, anyway... that's a decent deal on a Mini?

It's a *great* deal on a Mini! :-D
