Well, for one, I wanted to answer
because I understand the need to
maximize income from a sale, and happen
to own the same equipment they're selling.
No one here has to buy this system or
pay any more than they want to, so I
don't see any abuse occurring.
You use the word "profit" but there's no
profits involved here unless for
example, they bought the machine for
$500 and sell it for $1000. The sale is
a loss to them which they're trying to
minimize (yes, I understand the "losses"
might've been long written off by now,
but it's still a LOSS).

Why would anyone here want to

outcome is unlike to be contributing
anything here anyway.
(Or maybe I'm just naive in thinking
that people who request assistance to
maximize their profits targeting the
same crowd they ask for assistance
from (for free) is abusive.)

So I know someone who has a working
11/34 (4 RLO2's and the 11/34 in an
H960,
running RSTS/E) they want to sell,
and they want to know how to maximize
the
value - i.e. whether to sell it as a
complete working system, or to part it
out - and if the latter, how to break
it up?
(No discussion about the morality of
parting it out, please; this is owned by
a business, and they need the money
to pay people's salaries.)
So which direction would get the most
money? My sense is that parting it to
the maximal degree possible (e.g.
sell each drive separately, sell the
memory
separately from the CPU, sell the
feet separately from the H960, etc) is
the way to get the most money, but
I'm interested to hear what others
think.
Thanks for any insights!
