Listed doesn't mean it'll sell for that

So many people saying things like “I bought a 1tb ssd last year for $100. Now the same model is going for $2,345! Prices are insane!”

People don’t understand that listing prices skyrocket when there’s only a couple new items left in stock. Doesn’t mean anybody’s paying for it, just means it’s out of stock. And just because one particular model of a commodity is going for a high price, doesn’t mean the commodity in general is priced as such.

Essentially all sellers do this with everything now. If you sell 99 items at MSRP and you have one left, they generally jack the price up to something ridiculous because someone might pay it.

The labels are German. I wasn’t aware we had an Estonian border… at least not since Prussian occupation, which was quite a few decades before the first computer).

Or part of the weather channel rack system. The other weather channel cards are pretty cool.

I found the hdd! it had some logs with “Estonian Border Control” written there, that was the main OS hdd and had only one log there.

You have a multi-processor system there. That too is worth some money to collectors.
