RS/6000 values

They’re a nice box, I had one on my desk at work about 20 years ago.  My guess is it’s someone hoping to find some business that *NEEDS* one and is willing to pay an insane amount of money.

The 7012-390 looks perfect, but I found this one on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-7012-390-POWER2-512MB-Memory-1GB-SCSI-2-Disk-Drive-CD-Base-Features-RS6000/272362237797?epid=1604049867&hash=item3f6a0def65:g:aJQAAOSwHnFVmutE:rk:1:pf:1
