Re: Hewlett-Packard 3000, 9000, Itanium (HP-UX & MPE/iX) Servers, Storage Arrays, Replacement Parts, Maintenance, & Disaster back-ups
Man you guys are tough... We sell this old HP stuff, thats what we do. There is no commercial or retail price in 20+ year old items. Its comes down to what we have into it, what others are selling them for, and what the demand is. Jay, I dont recall quoting you a 12920, I went back 3 years on my sent emails and I cant find it. I dont remember what the price or circumstances were. If I had that info, I could understand and explain the price that I quoted you .. but I'm glad you found what you needed... sorry if you were offended. As for me posting an intro on this site.. I have a boat load of older HP stuff and I'm always trying to find homes for. If my info or parts helps someone get the part or system they need, then its a win for everyone. I'm not some spam bot that just sends crap email out, we are a very small company thats been around for 25 years and we have a lot of knowledge with this older 1000, 3000, 9000, & Itanium hardware. Resellers get flack from everyone but small HP vendors like us help keep the wheels of this older HP machine rolling. Try to buy a 25 year old system from HP, they will try to sell you a x86.. :-) Again, it was an intro and if it offended anyone, please accept my apologies* *

I agree that the general introductory blast post was a bit over the top. But I don't think it's been posted here regularly, and vendors that obviously contribute here get a little leeway (Cindy). I figure some may not be familiar with Cypress/Dougherty systems so one intro email per six months or year doesn't bug me. More often will draw some ire ;) If Dougherty Systems wants to participate in this mailing list, there needs to be some 'collector friendly' value, it's a two way street. I suggest that Jeff @ Cypress scan maybe a year of past postings by Cindy @ Electronics Plus, and emulate. J Wow! I feel honored! Jesse at Cypress is actually not a bad guy. Been around a long time, but you are right, they ARE high dollar. I am SO sorry that I could not help more at the Houston haul. I have severe asthma, and it got out of control, so I had to leave. The guy has a TON (literally) of vintage stuff, but he is an ebay guy, and is not willing to part with stuff cheap. One guy drove 15 hours to get there, and did not take home what he wanted, because the guy would not budge on prices. If you want the seller's cell phone to try and make decent offers for some of the stuff in pictures, send me an email. He charged me $400 for 1 Mac 512K, 4 TI/99, and a few old TRS 80 CoCo type systems. I am not going back again, sorry.

I needed a particular board that he had (part of a 12920 mux set) that has almost no commercial value. That board wasn't generally used under the more "still commercially viable" os's like rte. It was generally only used for HP TSB which isn't going to have commercial interest. He wanted somewhere around $1500 for it, and would not negotiate much really. ISTR that someone made mention that the stuff was pitched later, unsold. So sad. I agree that the general introductory blast post was a bit over the top.

I don't recall seeing a business blatantly advertise on cctalk. I feel like such an advertisement is borderline spam and does not belong on cctalk. It's one thing to respond how your company can help someone that's asked a question, especially if the response is germane to the topic at hand. I.e.: Bob: Does anyone have or know where I can find $part? Tom: Bob, email me directly, my company, $CompanyName, has them and we'd be glad to help you. That's cool.
