SuperDaE who back in July posted leaked images of the Durango development kit (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/360593/leaked-xbox-720-dev-kit-images-may-be-real/), which according to industry sources was the real thing and for those of you not sure, Durango is rumoured to be the next Xbox Development Kit. Well SuperDaE is back and has sold the Xbox Durango Development Kit on Ebay for a cool $20,000 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=221100568971&viewitem=&afsrc=1&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc#ht_500wt_1232), there was a total of 43 Bids, it does make you wonder if Microsoft was one of the bidders buying its Kit back before others can spill the beans on the kit.
Heres a photo of the Dev Kit:

Heres what Digital Foundry posted (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-the-curious-case-of-the-durango-devkit-leak) about the initial Leaked Photos:
The devkit itself is an anonymous-looking black box, said by one next-gen developer to contain parts that have much in common with a modern "standard gaming PC". The shots depict a dashboard reminiscent of the current Xbox 360 test kit launcher, featuring a basic compiled program, dubbed "D3D11Game1" along with "NuiView" - which on 360 at least is a simple tool for rendering camera views and data from an attached Kinect peripheral. No next-gen Kinect hardware photos have yet to surface, but it is said to be considerably revised from the existing Xbox 360/PC peripheral.
