Outdated is my guess, but he does include an O/S license with the box, IIRC, and with Irix a license doesn't follow the CPU...

Still, I did caough a bit at $300 for an Indigo^2 - I honestly think you will be lucky if you get any folding money above shipping for such a box, unless it is very special (like high RAM, big HDs, exceptional graphics, etc.)
