Gene,
I took a look at the CTP dealer listing index, and the current listed prices
for UC08's run from a low of $300 to a high of $750 Out of the 12 listed
that have prices showing, the average is $511.25
There was a UC07 recently on eBay in the UK that sold for GBP 252.00
(currently approx. US $397.91 )
EMULEX UCO7 Q-BUS SCSI CONTROLLER FOR DEC

With variations in exchange rate, that US equivalent was about $420 on the
day it closed.
Best Regards

Why is it that the UC08 SCSI controller on ePay right
now is going for a
buy-it of$799? Are QBUS SCSI controllers THAT rare? I was going to try
to find one for my MicroVAX II, but not for that kind of dosh....
tnx.

Yebbut, nobody on this list pays dealer list. To me, the above means
I'm looking at maybe $250-$275 if I really want one and will wait for
it.

Doc,

Those were actually dealer to dealer wholesale prices, but with as slow
as the DEC market has gotten, many of those would probably sell to the
end user at the same price.

The business users primarily want CMD SCSI controllers, so with any other
brand it would usually go for much, much less, especially on eBay.
The truth is, if you are willing to wait, I've even seen some go as low as
the $40+
to $60+ range? With some, condition might be poor, or they may not be
operational
and be being sold as is, but they might also be just fine. That's the eBay
gamble. I
do remember the MTI QTS-25 I had sold on eBay a couple of years ago to
Zane went for only $50

That's just amazing. I never knew the demand for those things was that
high. I wish the guy that was doing the IDE controllers had entered
production. :)
