That thread subtitle is getting more ironic by the day.

These 1000 USD bid prices are what makes people settle for a small netbook or wait for PSP2 or 3DS instead <_<

Huh, how does that work? :huh:
They can do what they would've had to otherwise have done and buy a batch 2 one.

I don't get what the big deal about people selling their Pandora on eBay is. Some people seem to be really upset with the eBay sellers and the OP team. Why? OP has every right to sell as many units they want to whom ever they want. Moreover when the fundraising started I would bet the team was HOPING people would buy extras and sell them on eBay. Why? Because it's good publicity, and it would raise more funds in the beginning when they were needed most. Our little project isn't exactly an Xbox360 media shitstorm clusterfuck, with so much money coming in trough the door we had investors begging to take their money. I for one am glad the eBay sellers do what they do, it has helped me get my Pandora. The Pandora is the first computer I have ever bought. I have no job, and no money. The money I used for my Pandora was from my last job before I was laid off. I would give more if I could but I have this problem where I need to eat at least twice a day, I hear it's called life. I know every last order helped the OPT pay off their debts and give life to a wholly unique and different machine. I know I worked hard for my money and I bet the sellers and buyers did too. Are you trying to say their investments weren't theirs to keep? Did they not earn their money in a righteous fashion? Or are you upset that YOU did not invest in such a fashion? Is there something wrong with a transaction above your pay grade? Don't you want your Pandora now, and if you had the money to spend wouldn't you speed up the process?

Ah! I see you spent some time thinking about this. A teeny tiny bit of searching (to augment this mid-timer's poor old memory) brings up things like this, for example:

I expect Pandoras to sell for more than the RRP on ebay for a while due to the fact there will be quite a gap between batch1 (the first 4000) and batch2.

from a thread called "Pandora Order As An Investment"

and:

The second batch will be in 2010 sometime, we will, quite rightly, be having a bit of a rest after this run is finished.

But everything will be in place to run a second batch off in 2010, I should think we will wait a few months at least before doing it. That's probably when the ebay value of a Pandora will sky rocket!

In the few months gap we will be looking after the current customers, getting the scene going, having a coding competition, things like that, well I suppose just sort of hanging out with you on here making the Pandora awesome.

They also seem quite up for putting Pandoras on eBay themselves, having suggested doing so a couple of times before (IIRC) customer units even started shipping, to raise more money. They obviously hadn't run out of units then... they seem to be far from eBay-hating themselves.

Just to let everyone interested in selling/buying Pandoras know, I'll redirect any further advertisements to the "Marketplace" subforum, which is made for this stuff after all. I think I have to do this to keep the balance, as most preorderers are still waiting and some don't feel comfortable watching these trading activities.

So if you have something to sell post it there please, thanks.

Where do people stand in terms of warranty for these second hand units?

If someone takes delivery of a brand new unit, and then pretty much immediately sells it on eBay, will Craig & Co. treat that as that person acting as a "reseller" and honour the warranty as being from 12 months after manufacture, or because it's been sold from a second party will all bets be off?

Something it would be good for every potential purchaser to know I think.

I really like the look of white paint on a Pandora, pity the paint job on this one is so bad
