    I've got some older P3 IBM Netvista's. I will post pics later on.







    Sorry tried to rotate it, and it wouldn't work for me.

    These P3 systems are at a kind of awkward stage right now -- they're not old enough to be vintage, but they're too old for current requirements. I checked eBay sales over the past year for you, and it looks like only a couple of IBM NetVista P3 systems have been sold during that period. Average price was around $50, though. You could try listing one with a low starting price to see how it does, but it might be a challenge to find buyers if you have several of these units. In that case, the parts (cards, drives, etc.) might be easier to resell.

    Terapeak or a similar program, allows you to look at ebay sales from over the course of a year.

    Yes I'll keep singing the praises of Terapeak.

    Right you are, Sir Tansalot. Terapeak was my source. Unfortunately, it requires a paid subscription (about $240/year), but it can be a worthwhile investment.

    I felt it was well worth it when I was doing my website sales, an ebaying back in the day.

    We tend to look for free things an not realize sometimes you have to pay for a good program. The lack of talk about it always amazes me here. Not sure it's cause folks don't know about it, don't want to pay for it so there fore it's "No good" or are trying to keep it a secret.

    The cost may be steep for some, but your selling on eBay or Amazon, an not using it, your passing up a very valuable tool when it comes to market research, and market history. It's $20 bucks a month/240 for the year...Don't go out to dinner once a month, an boom, you got a new tool paid for!
