I got given some servers & i got the ( wrong ) impression that they were faster better computers, & i could use them for that.
So i googled the part numbers & i found ebay adds for the power supplys with a US$1000 reserve on it.
WoW !! I thought, i coulld get $1000 for just the power supply !
So i keep searching & they have a lot of older computer stuff with these fantastic prices on them.
But very little completed sales.
And then i figured it out.
They get this stuff, anything pre 1998 say, and put it up with these $1000 reserves.
If some company out there is still using this gear, and a power supply blows, or a tape reader starts chewing up tapes or some other dilemma happens
The first place they are going to look for that part is ebay. And they don't care if they have to pay $1000 to get that part in less than 3 days.
Even one sale would pay for the storage involved.
( I scrapped my power supplys, since somebody else had it sorted, and they didnt want to buy mine..
