Will do bear, thanks ill keep u entertained tonight at least.
i just re read your title, if he's ebayed this stuff already, unless he wasn't running on all 3 cylinders, it might be just scrap. I had some of those hdd trays 6-8 years ago, and they weren't worth anything then. Still be worth checking what hdd's are inside them, maybe they've made a comeback some reason. People are bringing back older systems more often now, and most times newer hardware won't work on them as well. Probly not worth building a warehouse for, but still maybe worth giving a peek to see?
Yeah He did ebay alot of stuff but what im breaking down now are computers he never got around to. The guy was sitting on like a 200 computers and telephone equipment from a company clean out and was selling it the past 3 years. From what i gathered he really got screwed on his pricing to. so him getting sick of the pile was our gain. He did tell use bout one of one really old server that was very collectible, but someone had it shipped to AZ. And im all ready sick of all the screws on these.

actually those are ISA's, see the single lil slot? 2 rows of fingers? The earlier EISA has an extended row and a second slot. Minor differences, but differences just as well. I do believe, as in anything else, the later versions would be more cheaply made(they call this progress) I also think each progression in manufacturing used a thinner layer of conducting elements, as new tech processes emerged, even until today, as newer boards have almost nothing in them, but they are tech savvyQuote:

I'm sure you have but did you check ebay on the phones? I'm selling this http://www.ebay.com/itm/230777602596...84.m1555.l2649 right now and I'm glad I looked it up! The Norstar phones that go with this system sell very well too. I've found that pretty much any decent phone system will sell on ebay, be it old or new. Just a thought!
This guy tried to ebay these phones for over 3 years. Im not gonna waste my time on it. they are getting scrapped and im moving on to the next project. If you want 400 pounds of call center phones pm me and ill have them ship it to you.
The transformers in them will be killer, the small one I did had a nice peripheral board in it also.Quote:

I get $0.26 a pound for UPS units...As is with or without batteries. I only get $0.20 a pound for transformers, $0.14 a pound for low grade boards, and Unknown on the batteries. So i take them things in whole. Took in over 500#'s of UPS/APC units in my Altima...poor car hated the trip the whole way!
Thor my prices are double urs :-) they getting broken down.
Nice haul and I agree brake'm down and move on. By the way check your pm box.
Sent u a new PM, and now i went over and grabbed half the phones off of SYH so ill get photos of it once it stops raining. Looks like we will have everything gtg by sunday.
Good price on the low grade boards, the transformers bring .30 lb here and unfortunately only .20 lb for batteries. A lot of the UPS units have a computer style plug in on the back, that is my clue that the board is better quality.Quote:

No way those are low grade. Isn't that what they call a mid grade board?
nah they are all power boards .54
Looks like old Dialogic boards used for interactive voice response(IVR) systems. I used to build IVR systems for realtors and sold my last used ISA card for $200 about 5 years ago. Don't know if there is still a market for them but the systems were expensive might still be some value to those cards.Quote:

Do you get any computers with dual core processors in them or like sata hard drives? I might be interested in buying them if you do.Quote:

Hey Dune!! do you sell your phones to Arcoa and do you take the cord that goes from the phone to the receiver off before you sell them. Do they buy the recievers too.
I took the cords off and included the receivers as they are part of the phone. Still haven't received a email saying anything was wrong with doing that.
Do they buy the hand held phones or just the desk top phones? Sorry about all the questions I guess I sould call Todd. I'm still waiting for some gas money to come in for some stuff that I sent out. I'll have a load ready when I get the money, I'll be intouch.
They take both phone types. I try to relay the info i got from meeting the VP of Arcoa that one time. Its a massive learning curve to be able to sell to them.
You should resell these man... make a killin :drozenski:Quote:
