At that price is a very good deal, they are $2000 USD new or so. Not that I feel that’s a deal, that’s also a case of the top cpu costs disproportionately more. Still that price is currently about the price of the 8-core models.

Begs the question: why sell for such a deficit then? It's always a bit daunting to jump into a sale like this one.

its an auction, not fix price. I assume he hopes for more

I guess he is hoping for about 800 Euro for it, but unless you need 16 cores may be better watching for cheap and common 8-core versions. Remember max ram is 4 x 32gb = 128gb which depending what you use it for could me a real limit, oh and DDR4 so that 128gb costs the same as the board+cpu again.

I'm looking for a Mini-ITX low power (but capable) system to converge some service into a smaller footprint, so this was a nice option, except for the ridiculous pricing of DDR4.
