[Info-vax] rx2600s on eBay

[Hein RMS van den Heuvel]

[I wanted to reply to Malcolm's old topic from aug-2008, but google
groups did not allow me to]

I watched those 2*1.5Ghz, 10Gb memory 2600's on Ebay from a seller
called: assetrecoveryctsystems
Their packing and handling fee is high-ish ($85) but it is a solid job
for the single systems.
They are willing to combine multiple for price break.

They used to list some with starting $100 with DVD, but no longer
list, nor have those it seems
For months they have them listed with MP and no DVD for $175, and many
sold for the starting price.

I bought one, and a spare one and communicated with them.
If they are not listed, then you can possible Email/call them and ask
Penny for an 'off-Ebay' quote.

Today they started to show up as $275 starting. Typo ? :-) Are they
running low?
The best deal out there now is a lot of 3 with a starting price of
$525 !
Team up! One each and split one for spares! (the memory alone may be
worth it for some)

For those folks considering and wondering, I also bought bought
several hard drives for those on Ebay.
It all seems to work as long as they have the 80-pin SCA connector.
The sled's are harder to find, but in a pinch you could push any old
drive in there, and prop it up untill you find some carriers. Not
pretty, but it get's you going.
( In fact, by now I bought some 15K rpms's and have too many 'slow'
and smaller 10Krpm 18Gb / 36 Gb drives.
Those are of course just fine for a hobby box. Send me an Email if you
need a few :-).

Hope this helps someone, some day,

Hein.
