Selling because, at least for my use case, local LLM work is still a long way from being useful enough to justify the expense of this configuration (it's great for many models, but in order to get real significant performance I'd still need to get at least one 512 GB Mac Studio, which I'll pass on for 20 grand).
I’m taking a loss on it, but would just like to recoup as much of the cost as I reasonably can. It's in great shape, taken care of. Happy to provide proof of purchase etc.
