A Minnesota-based IT hardware seller, Core 4 Solutions, advertised a decommissioned 300-rack artificial intelligence (AI) computing cluster on eBay for $59.7 million (£44.4 million), with overnight shipping listed at $50 (£37).
The equipment was described as containing up to 9,600 Nvidia A100 graphics processing units (GPUs), although the seller's specifications have not been independently verified.
The listing attracted attention for the contrast between the price of the computing equipment and its advertised delivery options. However, reports published on 28 October 2026 indicated that the listing had ended, leaving its current availability unclear and no confirmed sale established.
AI Cluster Listing Details Reveal Its Scale
Core 4 Solutions described the equipment as a decommissioned cluster from a hyperscaler cloud environment. The eBay listing identified it as used ZT A100 compute racks, priced at $59.7 million, with offers accepted and two units listed as available.
The seller described the equipment as fully functional and included a 30-day warranty. Returns were not accepted, and export compliance requirements applied to its transfer and use.

The advertised configuration includes up to 9,600 Nvidia A100 40GB SXM4 GPUs across 300 racks, alongside AMD EPYC Rome processors, DDR4 memory, ConnectX-6 networking equipment, an FPGA and NVMe storage slots.
Each rack contains four compute nodes with eight GPUs and eight CPUs in total, plus three management nodes with two CPUs each.
This gives an advertised total of 14 CPUs per rack, or 4,200 across the installation, based on the seller's specifications rather than an independent hardware inspection.
What Buyers Could Get for $59.7 Million
The configuration amounts to 268,800 CPU cores and approximately 1.4 petabytes of memory, based on the advertised specifications. These figures have not been independently audited.
Although the Nvidia A100 GPUs and AMD EPYC Rome processors are older hardware generations, they can still support AI inference, machine learning and other demanding workloads, depending on the system configuration and software.
The cluster's value to a buyer would depend on its intended use and operating costs. The $59.7 million (£44.4 million) asking price does not establish its market value or potential financial return.
Running 300 racks would require substantial power, cooling, networking and maintenance infrastructure. The seller describes the equipment as fully functional and offers a 30-day warranty, but neither claim independently verifies the performance of every component.
Why the $50 Shipping Offer Needs Context
The delivery options were among the most unusual details in the listing. Core 4 Solutions advertised free local collection from its Minnesota location, alongside free FedEx Ground or FedEx Home Delivery.
Two-day shipping was listed at $25 (£18), while overnight delivery was advertised at $50 (£37). Those prices appeared alongside an asking price approaching $60 million (£44 million), creating an obvious contrast between the value of the equipment and the stated delivery charge.
The listing did not, however, explain the precise logistics behind the overnight option. The advertised price should not be interpreted as proof that the entire 300-rack installation could be transported and delivered within a single night, or that all handling and installation requirements were covered.
The listing's status remains unclear. Reports on 28 October said the original listing had ended, although another listing showed two units available.
No sale has been confirmed, leaving the $59.7 million (£44.4 million) price and $50 (£37) overnight shipping as advertised terms rather than evidence of a completed transaction or guaranteed delivery arrangement.
