Search the completed items on Ebay to get the current fair market value.

You can do what most liquidators do--scan eBay for similar items or put
it up on eBay and see how high it goes. If you accurately describe the
HW and what it comes with, include picture, you'll either get responses
or not.

Don't expect it to be worth much. Most of the non-Ultra SPARC systems
were about $100 or so. Shipping would be expensive, especially if you
include the monitor.

Hmm, some ancient low-end workstation hardware that is 14 years old?
I saw a few eBay listings for $1-3 that didn't have any takers.

They've already gone through the nostalgia phase, and are to the point
where there's way more around than anybody wants.

I sell IPA IPX class systems occasionally on e-bay. They usually go for
15-25 uk-pounds in working condition, and loaded with sun-os / solaris.

Cheers.

You surprise me there - I hate to guess why anyone would want to buy
one. I just had a look at the completed auctions on eBay *UK* for IPX's

http://search-completed.ebay.co.uk/sun-ipx_W0QQfromZR10QQsbrftogZ1QQsofocusZsoQQsoitemstatusZ2QQsoloctogZ9QQsosortorderZ1QQsosortpropertyZ1QQsotrZ2

and see one failed to sell with a starting prince of $0.99, another
failed to sell with a starting prince of $4.99, yet one did sell in
France for EUR 15.5

I see an Ultra 1 sell for 20 UK pounds a couple of months back, which I
must admit did surprise me.

I see someone trying to sell some SS20's with 150 MHz HyperSPARCs and
128 MB of RAM, and was unable to sell any of the ten he had, despite
starting at 20 pounds.

Postage costs etc are most likely why they don't sell often.

Personally I picked up the sole SS20 I've got for £5 at the local dump! ;)

FWIW, I bought an Ultra 1 and a pair of Ultra 5's for under $35 total
(including sales tax) at auction a couple of weeks ago.

that's unfair :(

here in italy they'd ask 80/100 eur --if anybody could find one :(--,
probably with no floppy and *for sure* with no keyboard and/or mouse
and/or monitor.

almost impossible to find any sparcs, too.

due to respect for people with weak heart, i won't talk about prices
for old ultra 1's and 5's...

too bad :(

Auction them in Ebay, with a starting price of $1. If you're

I can give you a reasonably accurate figure - zero.

18-months or so ago I see people saying on newsgroups "free IPC, must
pick up" or similar. They really have no value, and are best put in a bin.

Sorry if that disappoints you, but there is no doubt a lot of people
(myself included) who have thrown them in the bin.

Quite right! I am about to put several sparc 4's, 5's, 10's and 20's in the
skip.
Just not worth the hassle of selling them.
Also probably going to skip a RSM2000 and 5 A1000's with 9GB disks.

You should still get some cashola for the A1000, RSM2000 is a bit old and
big though.

If you're based in Europe, we may be interested in some of this kit.
Please email me the details.
We're also looking for 630MP, or 670MP, or 690MP internals
(motherboard, memory, etc.) - if you have any of those. Depending
on the location, we may take the complete systems.

Regarding the OP, David Kirkby is right, the IPC - like IPX, SS1, SS1+,
SS2 - have no real market for the system or the parts. And we've also
scrapped many of them.
The chassis of the SS4, SS5, SS10, and SS20 is the same, although
some of the internals (disk and memory) still have a value for spare parts.
(The 170MHz SS5 is the exception, and may still have some life!;-)
The Ultra1 and Ultra2 are borderline, although the Ultra2 (I think)
has a lot of life in it and will be around for the next 12-18 months.
The RSM2000 has no value. The A1000 has, because it's (like the
170MHz SS5 and the Ultra2) preferred to what went before it.

And, Yes, we've got the above in stock.
(And, Yes, we've got the odd 3/50, as well!;-)
And, No, we can't get to Ebay prices!
And, Yes, we know the pricelist is woefully out-of-date.

I'm not aware of any specific legislation in the UK. I can legally take
a computer to the local dump, with no problems. Fridges, freezers,
asbestos etc are different, but I don't believe computers are treated
any differently from any other rubbish.

The only problem we have here in the UK is the fear by some of being in
court if someone takes your old equipment and gets injured using the
thing, so they destroy the stuff, so nobody can use it.

There is quite good book I have here somewhere on the construction of
the Jodrell Bank radio telescope in England - at its time, the largest
radio telescope in the world. That was built from truck-loads of scrap
from the army, navy etc.

Amateur radio would probably not have existed if it had not been for the
early amateurs getting ex-government equipment. Yet the parasitic
lawyers, operating on a 'no win, no fee' basis in the UK are tending to
make people more weary of just scrapping something, but some go to
enormous lengths to destroy it.

BTW, I once carried a 19" Sun monitor home from work, as it was no
longer needed. This involved quite a long walk, then a tube journey,
then a train journey. When I got on the train, the guard said to me "YOU
CAN GET LAPTOPS NOW MATE"

there is a European wide legislation on the disposal of Consumer
eletrical items and computer items that will be law in the UK from
August 2005 IIRC.

Basically it makes companies responsible for what they make, they have
to take old kit back and dispose of it, rather than it being dumped.

Hence local dumps likely won't be able to accept electrical items after
that date. Although I'm sure some will, especially the ones that sell
items on after it';s been dumped rather than crushing it.

I think a lot of council owned sites are run by a out-sourced company.

A lot of them just crush everything regardless. Some put stuff aside and
let people either take it or slip them a bit of cash for it. This isn't
really supposed to happen and with the legislation might well get
stamped down on a bit more. Will be a shame, got a SS20 from my local
council tip!

Here in (at least some parts of) the U.S., the lead in TVs and CRT
monitors and (IIRC) some of the metals in electronic circuits are
considered environmental hazards. As a result, you can't just throw the
stuff out, you have to take it to a suitable recycling center.

Here in London, people pretty much do this already. My home
became a victim of dumping over the last few days, and I
live in a not-too-dodgy area. Fortunately someone took a
liking to the shit that had been dumped, and took it away.
Strange. Our council (London, Ealing) simply puts up taxes
and god knows where the revenues go - certainly not into
services to the public - just into councillors' pockets.

An ex-colleague of mine said in his part of Canada they had a good idea.

For three days of the year, everyone put outside their house anything
they no longer wanted - junk, plus things of potential use to someone
else. People then combed their neighborhood, looking for things they
wanted.

After the 3-days, the council collected the remainder.

It seems like a good idea to me. Sure there is a bit of junk lying
around for 3 days out of 365, but it would allow others to use what you
don't want, and would save a lot of 'fly tipping'.

I know what you mean. Last stuff I got rid of was returning some
borrowed equipment back to work when I got my first netra. I've never
thrown any away either (except thorwing away bad memory, but that
doesn't count).

I did, however, once make the mistake of throwing away a vt220. Oops.

This is done yearly in San Jose, California AFAIK. Another tactic I've
seen used is to go someplace where a lot of computer geeks can be found.
Engage one in conversation (optional), drop the item in the person's lap,
then vanish. Go to http://www.2600.com and see if there's a meeting near

Thanks to all that responded to my question about the sparcstation IPCs and

of these via the trash bin.
Lively response from everyone--very interesting.

Thanks to all that responded to my question about the sparcstation IPCs and
sparcstation 1+; I am really surprised by
the response and the length of the thread! I will probably have to dispose
of these via the trash bin.
Lively response from everyone--very interesting.

Give them away. You'll always find someone willing to take something for
nothing, and they'll drive out and save you the effort of dumping them.

A Sun IPC was my first ever Sun machine - and I loved it far more than
the Pentium whatever that I also had.

Hello,
I have 2 sparcstation IPCs and 1 sparcstation 1+ that I have been tasked
with disposing of; does anyone know where
I can find accurate pricing info for these?

IPCs make nifty project cases for mounting a mini-ITX motherboard. I've
seen a few that people have converted into literal lunch boxes.

Yep. Stuck a VIA M9000 mobo + 250 Gb disk in mine, instant media server.
