Now if it was complete and in working condition... I might think it would
have some value.

Optimistic is an under statement :-)
I shudder to think what the price tag would be if it had a power supply a console:)
At 1490UKP, I'd say they're crazy. Am I correct in assuming the
power supplies are likely to be the most valuable pieces on a
VAX-11/780? Without all the doors, it is even more worthless. I
wonder what condition the card cage & backplane is in, and how many
cards it is missing.

Hi,
Probably worth about $50 USD as untested spare parts.
Not worth the petrol to drag it home in my opinion.
Has the thing actually even got any boards in it? It's a bit difficult to
tell from those pictures.
And he's got the nerve to charge 17.5% VAT on top as well...!

Hi,
Actually, it's easy to tell, you can see all of the boards in the machine
(except for the backplanes, but it seems unlikely that they'd be missing
if the boards arent).
As far as I can tell from the crappy, low resolution pictures he's got,
it probably isn't missing any boards.
