selling used servers in bulk - Page 2

The end of this story was that they claimed that they found someone who would buy all their server and network stuff for $5K. If that's true then good for them! This is about 50 ties what I was willing to pay for that...

Thanks for all your thoughts on this

I bought a Dell MD 1000 today at a public auction for $25. I don't even really want the MD1000 but I'm real happy about the 15 1.0TB Sata HDD's that are inside. Additionally, I bought a another similar unit as of yet unknown brand for another $25 and it had 16 1.0TB drives. Furthermore, for the same price I got a Dell PE 2900 that had 8 500GB drives. These purchases were made all the sweeter by the presence of representatives of a large commercial recycler. Where ever I go trying to get some business more times than not I here" we give all are stuff to XYZ commercial recycler". So, I made sure that they paid $20-30 a piece for towers I can by all day long for $1-5. After that is when they sold the servers, etc and I got first choice at $25 and bought the previous referenced units. Then made the big shots pay $35 apiece for two Dell PE 1950 and a Dell PE 2950. Both of which I've bought in the last two weeks at a local surplus outlet for $10. It was a good day!
