 That was a good price.  I don't know what a reseller will pay
 you for it, since obviously they make their money by paying
 less for the equipment than they charge.  Considering I've been seeing reseller
prices hovering around $15,000.

 I have heard that these VAX systems are needed by the Pentagon
 due the the 9/11 problem - they lost quite a few on that day.  So
 the resellers are trying to fill orders that are being re-sold at much
 higher than normal prices as compared with a year ago. 
I offered them a VAX 7730 and they were pretty specific they only
wanted 7800 CPUs.  There's only a 10VUP difference per CPU between
a 7700 and 7800, too, so they must use a 7860 configuration.
