Isn’t 749 EURO already in AGX price range?
Yes, NX is often sold at higher price on eBay, I guess the high price of AGX carrier board makes many turn to NX so they could lower the production cost.
Actually AGX Xavier dev kits are 750 euro price range and they are less expensive than production level modules itself. This product includes carrier board, production level module and thermally-proven aluminum enclosure. So when you look at the prices of the competitor products in the market, you can see the price of this product is quite reasonable.
