On my quest to get more "stuff" of a classic nature
I came across these items on eBay in Germany.
http://cgi.ebay.de/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1311492128
Now, I do not speak German and in fact know very little
about VAX's in general. But for some reason the notion
of having one is appealing. Also, these items are
"relatively" close (me being in Holland).
Time is running out on these but it looks like they
have a minimum acceptable bid. Does that mean that if
the bid is not met you can negotiate a price outside
of the auction? (I don't know much about eBay either).
How do they look to you VAX owners/operators?

If yes, forget it. The MV4k200 is a nice machine, but that price is
_much_ to high.
I would not pay more than EUR 50,- for a MV4k200 like that. Even EUR
50,- is high for only 16MB RAM, 200MB disk, TK70 and no other
peripherals.

And, keep in mind that I got my VAX 6310 with 32MB ram, RA82, RA92, & TU81+
for free, which is a much larger machine. (Bigger is better, right? :) I
forwarded a post to classiccmp from c.o.v regarding "Looking for new home:
VAX6620 + VAX6530 cluster" located in Zurich-- I don't know how close that
is to you, but it's got to be closer to you than me! It was a pretty nice
config, so I'd imagine that's it's gone, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

I also got my MV4k200 for free. I
know the person that bought the EPay
MV4k200. I still can not belive that he is willing to pay that price.

Yes. That is the
reason why I spend around EUR 100,- for a fat MV3500
with lots of RAM, disks and other peripherals in a "big boy" 19" rack.
:-)

I saw that. A friend had
already contacted the owner at that time but
the machines where gone. Sad. A VAX 6[56].0 is a really nice machine.
I don't know how close that is to you,
Around 4h by car? And an other friend lifes in .ch-land, only 1h....

The good news is that the item appears to be back
again. Or maybe I should say a portion of it may
be back.
see ebay item: 1315585953
It was more appealing to me with the terminal
included. I am not sure if there is media and
if it is running either. In view of the previous
comments, the 100 EURO seems way too high as a
starting bid. It will be interesting to see
how this one sells. Would the 100 EURO be more
reasonable with a terminal included?
Just wondering,

Bill,
If it's just a *VAX*, I have an MVII for you in a rack mountable
unit (with slides). It has a cpu and memory, but no idea how much. It
also has
an RX50 unit but no disk (I have to see if I can give you one of
my spare ones). You can also -->borrow<--- my tk50 unit for loading
SW on it.

Ed,
The MVII seems like it would be a fun way to learn
a bit about vaxen. How much memory does it need to
run openVMS?
Is it in the BA23 enclosure? url:
