Does anyone in this forum ever have this CPU:

no, because it makes no sense

Too expensive so nope. Why buy this when you can get a Sandy Bridge sooner or later.

Also, before Sandy Bridge was officially released, the 875k was still the option as it was much cheaper and with an unlocked multi that even the noobiest of noobs could use to get an easy OC.

No. I never saw one in a store so maybe they are OEM only

The Intel® Core™ I7 880 was an OEM only processor that didn’t find much of a market because of the release of the Core I7 875K processor http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=48499,48500,. While the Core I7 875k may run a little slower the fact that it is unlocked opens doors for it having much better performance at a lower price.
