Why is everyone selling their Cubes? I can think of two main reasons:

1. Losing faith in the machine and its marketing potentials; dropping
   out before everyone else rush to dump their machines ala Lisa.
2. Thinking that by selling now, one would get a better deal when
   buying a new 68040 machine, instead of upgrading with $995.

Looking at the prices proferred, it looks more like 1 than 2.

For people who are selling their machines, could you please write me
through e-mail and let me know how you feel about the situation.
If you are switching, let me know which platform you are switching to.

BTW I also have a Cube that I would sell, but not because of reason #1.
I simply believe in the principle of turning over old inventory.
