I realize it is an obsolete cpu capable of running OS/390 2.10 (which it is now) and is not designed to run z/OS. Is anybody interested? Naturally, we would like a few bucks but we would be happy if someone will take it away free but handle their own shipping at no cost to us. All equipment located in Radnor, PA near Philadelphia. Or can anyone tell me of a recycler or reseller to take it away? Or any thoughts besides using the stuff for boat anchors.

Naturally, we would like a few bucks but we would be happy if someone will take it away free but handle their own shipping at no cost to us. I've seen this sort of stuff on eBay quite a number of times. Sometimes it sells, and sometimes it doesn't, and I haven't figured out any obvious pattern. I would guess that your tape drives are worth more than the rest put together. Certainly SCSI versions of 3480s go for a good buck, but Bus Tag I'm not so sure about. A reseller might take it all off your hands for a fixed price, and that's worth something, even if you could in theory get more selling the parts. But the resellers form a strange industry; you'll find if you start Googling on some of your hardware that there are many resellers claiming to have your stuff in stock, but in fact they are mostly just copying each other's listings, typos and all. And eBay has lots of stuff for sale at what seems like outrageous (if you're a buyer) or excellent (if you're a seller) prices, but I very much doubt that most of the stuff actually goes for what's being asked.
