I think there were only about 50,000 NeXT machines ever sold, so there may not be enough to go around for all the cool kids.

- brc 15y agoThat's what I mean - with a very limited supply, unique (and durable) design, first-machine-on-the-web status and the steve jobs connection, I can see this becoming an investment grade collectible at some point. They cost between $500 and $2000 for the cube (which will undoubtedly be the one to have) now, I can see a future scenario where they are going for 10 times that at auctions, particularly if they have provenance (ie owned by a famous person, Next developer, used at a demo by jobs, etc).
