For comparison purposes,
recycledgoods.com has listed a couple of BA213 chassis, still
unsold, for at least 18 months.
(they are also listed on eBay). IIRC, asking price has gone as low as $750,
I bought a Microvax 3600 (?) on eBay about 18 months ago for $500. I got it mounted in a
DEC rack with a DEMPR; a GCR (6250bpi) tape drive and controller, an SMD controller and
drives, a slew of spare boards; plus a VCB02 (GPX, QDSS) board set with S-handle
bulkheads; vt220 console terminal, two moving boxes full of manuals, and other stuff which
is slipping my mind.
At the other end of the spectrum, the same seller had a lot of 4 microvax and VAXstation
(BA213/215) systems which went on eBay for about $3000. Buyer paid air-freight to
Scotland. I suspect they're a reseller with customers who still have VAX equipment in
production use.
