I just got off the phone with Jesse at Cypress. He said he did not post the gold and tantalum items on ebay. It is someone else, trying to cast a bad name on him. I explained to him that the list would really like to work with him, and that old HP stuff is wanted. He explained that each item is put into a system, fully tested, and has warranty and follow up support if needed, so prices are not low. I explained to him that many list members can do board level repairs. I suggested a "garage sale" type scenario, where he offers as-is equip, to save the costs of paying a tech to test everything. He is open to that idea. He has pallets of old terminals and keyboards that he does not work on anymore, so no warranty. I told him that if he would test the monitor to make sure it turns on, and include a complete matching keyboard, members would prob pay about $85 plus shipping for a set. He does have a 150, and a lot of 1970s and 80s terminals and keyboards. He said he will gather them together and do a basic test and offer some out, on an as-is basis. Please understand that he is a business (for the past 30 years), and he does have to cover costs of storage, technicians, etc. No, he won't sell stuff for $5. It costs him more than that to pay someone to find the stuff and pack it. Please bear his needs in mind too.
