Someone posted this a couple of days ago...can't believe it's that high. That's a NIB price.

People buy them because they think that they are rare and people likes to buy rare stuff. I like those boards in a box only.

I predict that he will get his price, but not from me, of course. I don't even care about SSKs.

Very early date, presumably with heavy plate, unusual and desirable key caps, orihalcon cable, shipping included.

People pay 2/3 of this price, shipped, for clunkers.

The condition of the board is actually extremely good considering the year it was made, seems like the bids are constantly increasing

Wow, that is way to much considering it's not NIB! $320  :eek:

I have one that is the same year and in new condition that I bought for $170 just a couple of months ago. Add the cable and it's worth $200 tops.

Hmm, wonder how much my NIB SSK will bring...
