they'll probably want an extra $10K just to handle it unless they've

That's my experience... a reseller will offer you 30% of his sale
price for cool stuff, 25% for not-so-cool stuff.
That's how I got the MV2000 plus outboard RD54 plus terminals for a few
hundred bucks 8+ years ago - I paid the end user the same they would have
gotten for their system, but they didn't have to box and ship it; I drove
downtown to pick the lot up. Saved them a bundle and got me some cool
toys. I ended up putting Ultrix 2.0 on it, back when it was tough to get
a decent UNIX at home.
