[CUBE] Cube with custom case ends at $1312.87

[stefan friedl]

woohoo! how exciting! i just watched (refresh, refresh) an auction 
ending in 4 minutes. nothing happened until 40 seconds before ending. 
cube was at 750 $. then suddenly another bidder came in bidding 760, 
but the first guy had some time left and got it for 771 $ back again.

that was fun to watch.
