I see he wants more money for his, probably because a 66 is bigger than a 128?
He wants more than the one in the "appraisal" because his is in a cabinet. It's as if he went to ebay, sorted by "highest price", picked the first machine on the list and declared that his machine is worth the asking price of the ebay machine, plus the value of the cabinet. If he noticed it was a different model he probably doesn't even care. They're all the same to him.

He looked up the date but seems to have ignored the column indicating that 50,000 were allocated that day. I kinda actually feel sorry for the guy -- he can't get one thing right.
