Hard times!

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: -

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4120812900

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

Sheesh, you'd think that SOMEONE on eBay would want to buy a server for £100... Shocked

...even if it IS rather old-tech! Roll Eyes

Hmm...guess I'll relist it sometime in the future... Tongue

If anyone is interested, or just needs a cheap 'spare' PC - drop me a P.M. Wink

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)

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 Smiley

Worst case, just cancel the auction couple of hours before it ends.

Thanks for the tips guys! Wink

I'll try re-listing sometime in the near future... Roll Eyes

I'm thinking of starting it at £50 with NO RESERVE and a 'buy it now' of £100... Tongue

...does that sound about right? ???

(mainly cos any less than £50 and it ain't worth selling!) Roll Eyes

PEACE! 8)

no no no
start it at 0.01£, with a Buy it now of 150~£.

10 days, no reserve, and add a pic Smiley (it's free Tongue)


BTW
why won't you ship it internationally?

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!

Looks good Smiley

Odd though that you listed it as having 163MB of RAM (?)

I can't think of any existing Memory configuration to achieve a such weird amount of RAM  ???

What about the motherboard itself? Model numbers? CPU support? Even dual P2s aren't fast enough for me anymore.

You really should have put 'international shipping' there..

Some folks buy cars on ebay, what do you think the shipping is on that? Tongue


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.

Oh I give in, but good point DenisF - international shipping option added... Roll Eyes

I don't believe in asking people to bid on PURPOSE for me (I think it's unethical...) Tongue

I'd rather someone bid if they were serious about buying the item... Wink

It's up to the bidder really though... Roll Eyes

***EDIT***

Screw ethics, it's not even up to £50 at this point! Shocked

And the auction ends TODAY! Shocked

Id like to get somewhere near £100 for it... Roll Eyes

If anyone wants to boost the price for me, then PLEASE DO SO! Wink

Thanx guys and gals! Grin
