Well, there goes my chances of winning it ;)

Two days left, over $550, and the reserve STILL hasn't been met.

I'd say it's worth more than it's going for by a long shot, of course.

Anyhow, I thought this might interest most folks here in a general sense. You don't see these every day, after all.

thats pretty badass. it would be cool to own one, but i have no clue what i would do with a dev kit, i plan on making games for a living, but not this soon.

I would love to buy one of those for any of the new systems. I am too poor now to buy that kind of stuff. :o

[-hellvin-]

I wonder what the reserve is at? Hmmm....If I had extra money sitting around I'd probably pick that up ;D.

Same here. Jesus, I really wish I'd been better at keeping my dough these last few years! I never needed any $650 Neo Geo AES :o

GBP 770.00 (Reserve not met) (Approximately US $1,382.77)

Time left: 1 days 23 hours

shall we place bets on the final amount? LOL

[Ed Oscuro]

The original cost price for this unit was $10,000.
We damn well gonna make it back, too! Reserve's not met?! LOL

Yeah, I've no idea what it'll end at. This might end up being one for the books O:

I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft try to shut this auction down. Isn't it illegal or at least a contract violation to sell those things?

[dj898]

keep bidding till you get to the reserve and then retract if you are not going to buy...

friendly(?) advise from dr. evyyyl

[Ed Oscuro]

Yays, it be over.


GBP 840.00 (Reserve not met) (Approximately US $1,508.47)
Somebody's pocketbook be hurting and it didn't even reach the reserve. Lol.

[Tricky X]

LOL. Alpha Prototype my ass. LOL These are just PCs with the dev kit software and a few propritary cards. Someone must have stolen or is illegally selling a standard issue dev kit. This has scam written all over it, plus it is illegal. We have like 20 of these in the lab by my office. Surprised this auction didn't get pulled early by Microsoft. They shut these down fast.

[Ed Oscuro]

That pretty much invalidates most of the description right there LOL

Well, it's still an expensive unit, and again not many would leak out into the general public :P
