I know that I've seen a number of for sale emails on cctalk, but I think
they were all from individuals. I don't recall seeing a business
blatantly advertise on cctalk.
I feel like such an advertisement is borderline spam and does not belong
on cctalk.
It's one thing to respond how your company can help someone that's asked
a question, especially if the response is germane to the topic at hand.
I.e.:
Bob: Does anyone have or know where I can find $part?
Tom: Bob, email me directly, my company, $CompanyName, has them and
we'd be glad to help you.
That's cool.
Conversely "Hay everybody, check out what we have for sale this week!"
is not so cool.

I've dealt with Jesse before, at least I tried to. I needed a particular board that he
had (part of a 12920 mux set) that has almost no commercial value. That board wasn't
generally used under the more "still commercially viable" os's like rte. It
was generally only used for HP TSB which isn't going to have commercial interest. He
wanted somewhere around $1500 for it, and would not negotiate much really. ISTR that
someone made mention that the stuff was pitched later, unsold. So sad.

I agree that the general introductory blast post was a bit over the top. But I don't
think it's been posted here regularly, and vendors that obviously contribute here get
a little leeway (Cindy). I figure some may not be familiar with Cypress/Dougherty systems
so one intro email per six months or year doesn't bug me. More often will draw some
ire ;) If Dougherty Systems wants to participate in this mailing list, there needs to be
some 'collector friendly' value, it's a two way street. I suggest that Jeff @
Cypress scan maybe a year of past postings by Cindy @ Electronics Plus, and emulate.

Wow! I feel honored! Jesse at Cypress is actually not a bad guy. Been around a long time,
but you are right, they ARE high dollar.
I am SO sorry that I could not help more at the Houston haul. I have severe asthma, and it
got out of control, so I had to leave. The guy has a TON (literally) of vintage stuff, but
he is an ebay guy, and is not willing to part with stuff cheap. One guy drove 15 hours to
get there, and did not take home what he wanted, because the guy would not budge on
prices.
If you want the seller's cell phone to try and make decent offers for some of the
stuff in pictures, send me an email. He charged me $400 for 1 Mac 512K, 4 TI/99, and a few
old TRS 80 CoCo type systems. I am not going back again, sorry.

Man you guys are tough... We sell this old HP stuff, thats what we do.
There is no commercial or retail price in 20+ year old items. Its comes
down to what we have into it, what others are selling them for, and what
the demand is. Jay, I dont recall quoting you a 12920, I went back 3
years on my sent emails and I cant find it. I dont remember what the
price or circumstances were. If I had that info, I could understand and
explain the price that I quoted you .. but I'm glad you found what you
needed... sorry if you were offended.
As for me posting an intro on this site.. I have a boat load of older HP
stuff and I'm always trying to find homes for. If my info or parts helps
someone get the part or system they need, then its a win for everyone.
I'm not some spam bot that just sends crap email out, we are a very
small company thats been around for 25 years and we have a lot of
knowledge with this older 1000, 3000, 9000, & Itanium hardware.
Resellers get flack from everyone but small HP vendors like us help keep
the wheels of this older HP machine rolling. Try to buy a 25 year old
system from HP, they will try to sell you a x86.. :-)
Again, it was an intro and if it offended anyone, please accept my
apologies*

One thing I seriously dislike looking at the site is that there are no prices; that to me
says you?re going to want to charge too much, and I also don?t like having to talk to
someone or negotiate with someone in order to buy things for my hobby.
How much would you charge for the following?
- HP 9000-712/80
- HP A4012 TeleShare card for the 9000-712

Don't you hate rhetorical questions?
The correct answer in this case is:
A: "I would ask $450. But, because some people might not see a value
past $200, I would try to sweeten the deal by throwing in a large handful of
other boards."

Do you have any MPE systems that would be interesting for a hobbiest but
not too expensive?

The cheapest I have is a 947RX, its $725.00 for that. I have a
Single-ended 4GB boot and 128MB in the configuration. If you want I can
install a storage drive, more memory, tape drive, or what ever you need.
If you want something newer than the 9x7 line, I have a few 918 boxes, I
quoted one below. I can load 6.5 or 7.5. It comes with a 30-day warranty
and limited set-up support.

128MB Memory
4GB SCSI-2 Internal Boot Disk Drive
MPE/iX Pre-loaded

HP 3000 918LX Server

FYI on the HP 3000 and 9000 systems make sure you get one that has a field
replaceable clock battery. Some early models did not (e.g. 917) and after a
few years the system becomes a brick. :-(

Yes, the DS1287 is soldered to the backplane. It is not that big of a deal. I literally
just this week replaced the one in my 917LX.
ok

For the list?s edification, I recently paid about $200 total, including shipping, for the
above (not from Jesse/Cypress) in a 32MB/540MB/no peripherals configuration. And I knew I
was overpaying.

I think that it is perfectly legitimate for somebody to ask whatever price
they want to for things that they are selling, even if I would like to,
or EXPECT, to get it for much less.
If they happen to GET their price, then it was valid.
If they can't get their price, then maybe they will learn more about the
perceived value, but it is still up to them what they can charge, or hope
to get.
If they want to burn Stradivarius as firewood, it hurts. A lot. But, it
is still a right of ownership.
(I was even hurt to see the female lead (Dana Cummings, played by Anna
Kendrick) in "The Accountant" destroy what would have been an ORIGINAL
(Christian Wolff didn't go for fakes) of "A Friend In Need" by Cassius
Marcellus Coolidge (1903) to get at "Free Form" by Jackson Pollack (1946)
that was hidden behind it.)
Although I would love to get an oversized cheap print reproduction of it,
and cut out the faces to make a carnival picture taking set for Humane
Society fund raisers. (few know that that idea of a picture with cutouts
for faces was ALSO invented by Cassius Marcellus Coolidge!)
