After poking around a bit, I found this:


That’s right, according to this they will pay me $111.00 to take a SL500 off their hands. Woohoo!

Upon further digging it became clear that someone just botched the config for that system and got it listed with no components at all. Every category said “NA” and had no specs at all. The price quickly jumped up to normal levels once you started customizing and added, you know, actual parts to the machine. Too bad, I was gonna order a baker’s dozen…
