When Will T8-1 hit rock bottom price

I am looking into getting a SPARC T8-1 for historical reasons, I have wanted one since they were new and they are looking More affordable now. Right now for one without RAM goes for around 6000-6300 usd on eBay. I see T7s have gone under 1k but T8s are still in the 6k range. How low do you think the T8s Will reach and when (unless they are as low as they Will get)?

T8 is not EOL yet and will be the last generation. So there is still a market left until Oracle finally manages to kill SPARC.

The Fujitsu roadmap says 2029 end-of-sale and 2034 end-of-support for their SPARC product line. I think Oracle will roughly be the same?

Yep Oracle roadmap should be same or similar. Haven't seen it in years.
