Hard times!
30.03.04 at 00:08:25

Well, it was pretty inevitable! Roll Eyes

I'm a student and I've run out of cash... Tongue

...so I'm selling my TWIN PII / V2 server on eBay to raise funds (I need CA$H to pay the rent!) Shocked

If anyone wants an 'out of the box' dual CPU server for REALLY cheap, here's the eBay link Wink

If you want an 'inside' view of the server, there should still be a piccy of it in : - This & That -> My STUFF... Cheesy

Reply #1 - 06.04.04 at 01:10:52 Sheesh, you'd think that SOMEONE on eBay would want to buy a server for £100... ...even if it IS rather old-tech! Hmm...guess I'll relist it sometime in the future... If anyone is interested, or just needs a cheap 'spare' PC - drop me a P.M. L8R dudes! 8)

Reply #2 - 06.04.04 at 09:33:50 Little Hint : 100 Quid might be an okay price, but the "Reserve not met" usually puts down most bidders. It's a terrible feature luckily not available in EBay Germany... (we had several auction Platforms that by default used it in the past, and they all ceased to exist within 2 years)

Reply #3 - 06.04.04 at 14:48:24 My 2 cents; It's /always/ better to start a penny-auction, with 10 days limit, and no reserve. I garauntee you will get over 100quid that way Worst case, just cancel the auction couple of hours before it ends.

I'll try re-listing sometime in the near future... I'm thinking of starting it at £50 with NO RESERVE and a 'buy it now' of £100... ...does that sound about right? ??? (mainly cos any less than £50 and it ain't worth selling!) PEACE! 8)

The postage on an entire server rig will be HUGE if I ship internationally... Shocked

...even if it's the responsibility of the buyer to pay shipping, it will be a LOT of cash, which is again something to put people off! Tongue

As for your other points - O.K. some good stuff there, I'll do this whn I re-list. Wink

Thanks again for the tips! Grin

--EDIT--

Item re-listed, go check it out!

Some folks buy cars on ebay, what do you think the shipping is on that? Besides, he who wants to buy that pc, will pay for the shipping fully.

I usualy don't bother...
i just do an advanced search for itemN from sellers that ship to Israel, and accept paypal..

I get a rather big list of items in almost every case.

There are rare occasions where i have to ask the seller to ship internationally, but that's only when there is no item listed as international..

Anyways it's always good to be truthful with your buyer, if you are willing to ship intl, post it.
