Black Taus with red speckles is available for sale for € 1,600 or best offer in Düsseldorf, Germany. As per the seller, apart from minimal wear, the right hand shows a crack that is not visible from the front. The neon light has been fittet with a removable fabric sleeve to dampen the light.

Not exactly sure what is on offer in Nordstrand (Oslo), Norway, as the text is conflicting with what is shown in the pictures. The text offers two speckled black Taus and one grey Alix with light damage on one of the arms. The asking price is NOK 29,000, which is about ~€2500 or ~US$2700 for all three. Link in comments.

I found more auctions of Taus inspired sculptures selling from Berlin and Düsseldorf/Neuss in Germany and Hayes in the UK. They are not Febrer originals from 1985.

Thank you, Fabian Wolf, for finding this one for us. A black Taus-like statue advertised as “Febrer style, top condition, 55 cm high”, lifting a lit-up barbell instead of a fluorescent tube. It is up for auction on eBay (starting bid is €250) and ships from Nuremberg, Germany (see comments for link).

The plinth appears lower than usual and doesn’t seem to contain a transformer. In addition, it is not marked with "Febrer" and the year of production. In essence, it is a knock-off inspired by the original.
