Hello,
I have a Sun 3/60 that I would like to trade. My interest is

No offense intended, but the way I read that is "I have some stuff
that is nearly common as dirt, which I'm not willing to ship, but I'd
like to trade it for some rare and highly prized stuff that someone
else will probably have to ship to me." I suppose there's a small
chance that it might work, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I agree with Eric. Suns of just about all vintages are common here in Silicon
Valley. Not to be unexpected, however, since this is Sun's "headquarter"
location. I've seen everything from IPXs to current Sunfire systems
at "Weirdstuff Warehouse" and "Auction BDI" on a fairly regular
basis.
If you're interested in vintage Sun gear - and it's not available in your
area - you might want to join the "Suns at Home" list. It's a low volume
list
which keeps "on topic":
