Maybe, but it also seems quite hard to get hold of, at least for "mid range"
stuff (Ultra 2/60/etc) :(

Although I'm not constantly checking the site, I've noticed only a few Ultra
60 machines go through in the last year, and have yet to find a pair of
400MHz modules or an Elite3D for my Ultra 2 (though it does a pretty decent
job already with it's 2GB of RAM plus two 73GB 10K drives :) ). There's
lively-ish trade in U5's and U10's, the odd SB100, and some of the new stuff
with 4 figures or more, but almost nothing in between.
