Hence, if you live in Australia, what a deal... if it's true.

a1usedcomputers supposedly has a lot of cool stuff (for cheap), but most (if not all) have actually been OOS since I checked them last (in 2011). AFAIK they have not changed their stock numbers since then.

QFT - I was also among those barking up A1's tree in the past, due to the fact they claimed stock of a 1387033.

As it happens they did actually have it, IIRC, and it sold quickly once word of that was confirmed...but they had just the one.

I was going to look into ordering one myself but got the same message originally.

How much would one of these be worth?

The last one sold in the US was in the low-$200 range, but mid-high-$100s is more likely.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

I think the price has gone up due to increasing popularity via word of mouth here and other forums.
