If you really want one remember if you buy these from 'touts' on e-bay
the next nice toy you want will be sold to you at a premium in the
same way.

Bought my current computer on eBay.. from a business seller who is also
reviewed regularly by Computer Shopper. There are sellers to be wary of,
but I think with common sense they can be avoided :)

I don't think that's the point Gordon was getting at. The first batch are supposed to be going out to folks who want to get started on them developing stuff and basically offering something to the community, not folks who just wanted to buy one to sell them on eBay for stupid money. It's probably going to annoy a lot of people out there who were up at 6am to order one.

Oh well, I'm not too fussed myself, I've pre-ordered one so I'll get it eventually, in the mean time I've got a new project, restoring an Amiga 500 :-)
