All,
I very much need to sell off my workstation collection. There has been
essentially zero interest in my posting from last week on the subject.
I'm trying to figure out why. Is it:
- My geographical location (Burlington, VT)?
- No interest in these specific items?
It's over 2000mi for me, much as I'd absolutely love one of the SGIs (and
to be honest, if *any* "real" vintage Unix system fell in my lap I wouldn't
complain; there's nothing around here). But the freight costs on something
like that are going to be astronomical, too.
Part of it's the location I'm sure, and part of it's probably that it's a
bad time of year: the run-up to Christmas gets expensive for people (travel
to see family, gifts etc.), plus for many of us there are winter heating
bills to think about, plus - at least in the US - it's getting close to tax
season. I suspect you'd have more luck waiting until April time next year
if that's possible.
cheers
