I very much need to sell off my workstation
collection. There has been
essentially zero interest in my posting from last week on the subject.
I'm trying to figure out why. Is it:
I would guess it is because you said you won't ship.
If I go to the trouble and expense of buying proper
boxes and InstaPak
cushioning, it's going to average about $35-40 per unit for packing -
never mind freight costs.
I am broke from being laid off the first time in my career. If not, I would
certainly be in the market for an Ultra 60 and would pay shipping and
packing. I don't think anybody who is serious about wanting something would
object to reimbursing the seller to make sure the equipment isn't damaged.
Some (many?) list members live in far off places and we don't have any hope
on finding interesting equipment where we live because it was simply never
sold here in any significant quantity. Most of what little interesting
stuff I have was bought in America and shipped here. The only option we
have is shipping, and you guys who live where it's relatively easy to ship
stuff and where equipment is plentiful and cheap, have no idea how we feel
when we see all the ads saying "I absolutely will not ship, come pick it up
or it goes to the recycler!"
I have to pay top dollar for everything I buy and I also get skinned alive
on shipping. In better days when I had some cash at least that was an
option. For me at the moment it isn't. By the way, somebody posted about
parting out his V210 (I need PSUs and fans) and we exchanged two emails
and then he disappeared. If you are reading this, please check your spam
folder! I responded as soon as I received your emails.
It is going to kill me if I have to drag this stuff to
electronic recycling.
As well it should!
