Eighth straight day at its tracked low (median $2,449), $200 under Apple, limited supply at this price. 36GB is tight for a 27B model plus agents. (2) Framework Desktop Mainboard Max+ 395 128GB @ Framework $3,149 (\~$3,464). In stock at its tracked low; mainboard only. (3) GMKtec EVO-X2 128GB+1TB @ GMKtec $3,499.99 (\~$3,850).

Excluded: NVIDIA Marketplace DGX Spark FE $6,950 (Add to Cart shown but no stock text, unverified) and Newegg rows blanked by HTTP 403 (not price drops). - **Stock:** Beelink GTR9 Pro flipped unknown → in stock at $4,349 (store back after yesterday's HTTP 502). B&H AI Box $5,099.99 now Temporarily Out of Stock (was OOS/priced yesterday). Micro Center MSI Ventus and Gigabyte Gaming OC 5090s still "Not carried" with no price; Micro Center AI Box and Zotac 5090 still no price / 0 in stock. All tracked GB10 boxes remain OOS/Discontinued/NLA; Best Buy DGX Spark still "no longer available". NVIDIA Marketplace DGX Spark FE ($6,950) again shows Add to Cart with no stock text, logged unknown/unverified. - **Movers:** Beelink GTR9 Pro: null → $4,349 in stock (real recovery, not a drop). Five Newegg rows that had prices yesterday are null/unknown today because Newegg returned HTTP 403 on curl — not real price moves (PNY DGX 2-pack was $11,149.99 OOS; Ventus 3P $7,246.90; AI Box 3P $7,354.21; Skytech PC $9,299.99).

B&H M5 Max 36GB/512GB $2,299 limited; 36GB/1TB $2,579 limited; 48GB/1TB $3,399 and 48GB/2TB $3,899 in stock; 36GB/2TB $3,299 preorder. - **AI Box deal watch:** no first-party discrete RTX 5090 price was readable today (Micro Center cards still "Not carried"/no price; Newegg card blank via 403). Against the last first-party card read (Micro Center MSI Ventus $5,059.99 on 2026-10-13): B&H AI Box $5,099.99 is +0.8% but temporarily OOS; BuyDirectNY AI Box $5,499 is +8.7% and in stock, both within the \~+10% band. Observational only; TB5 is well below PCIe x16. - **Flat:** Framework DIY $3,449; GMKtec 2TB $3,649.99; Amazon EVO-X2 $3,649.99; Minisforum MS-S1 Max $3,879; Best Buy ROG Astral $8,044.99 sold out; Amazon TUF 5090 and AI Box still no buy box. - **Local resale** (Bay Area, cash, observational): Craigslist and OfferUp scanned, 13 listings; FB Marketplace and Nextdoor need a login (skipped). Still up: a DGX Spark / ASUS GX10 128GB/1TB "like new" at \~$4,999 (below every tracked retail GB10 ask; all retail GB10 OOS). New: an MSI Gaming Trio 5090 ask \~$6,800; a suspiciously low \~$1,500 ROG Astral OfferUp ask (treat as likely scam/bait — do not use as a street low). Gone: the \~$6,395 FE ask and the \~$7,000 water-cooled AIO ask. Other asks: 5090 FE/Astral \~$6,500; custom Suprim 5090 PC \~$4,800; M3 Ultra Mac Studios $6,500–$14,999 (M3, not M5 — family proxies). ### Price table Illustrative landed costs (sales tax \~10%).
