Most of the offers have been in the $1500 area.

Headless is a BIG factor here. I've had one offer of almost $1000
for just the SX graphics VSIMM and the 128 MB of RAM.


I think your $800 is way off the mark... The cheapest second hand
dealers in the USA that I know of list the items for the following
prices:

  SS20 base unit    $470 US      (www.memoryx.com)
  2 x SM50 CPU's    $250 US      (www.sunvalleytech.com)
  128 MB RAM (4x32) $324 US      (www.memoryx.com)
  T5 kbd & o-mouse   $55 US      (www.memoryx.com)
  
This gives a total of $1100 US and that *DOESNT* include the SX
graphics VSIMM. And if you bought that system from the USA, you
would need to add another 26% sales taxes and import duties,
bringing the total australian dollar cost to about $2200.

Seems like my $2000 original estimate was pretty close... and the
offers I've been receiving seem to agree.

I'm not trying to rip anyone off here, just trying to sell some
systems that have been replaced during our recent round of upgrades.

 Imagine that CRAY decides to make a personal computer. It contains 16
 Alpha based processors executing in parallel, has 800 megabytes of RAM,
 9 Gigabytes of disk storage, a resolution of 4096 x 4096 pixels, does
 24bit 3D graphics in realtime, relies entirely on voice recognition for
 input, fits in your shirt pocket and costs $300. What is the first
 question the computer community asks?

 "Is it DOS compatible?"
