Question for my retro workstation followers: What would be a reasonable price to pay for: - Sun Ultra 10, 450MHz CPU module, 1GB RAM, 3D UPA card (completely working) - SPARCstation 20, new SCSI HDD + CDROM, RAM, spare PSU, cables, cards [Ed.: which?]
This is a weirdly naïve way of looking at it though. There's a burgeoning aftermarket of shady resellers who give precisely zero fucks about retro enthusiasts, and just want to make some coin. So they buy these machines at a premium, then part them out for an even larger premium.

With the ever-dwindling number of these machines in friendly hands, the opportunities to pick up such machines are minimal nowadays. So at some point it comes time to reckon with such resellers.

Because Sweden is a small-ass country, and that's about the only option I have for copping a Sun or SGI machine in good, working condition, unless there's some Fort Knox of Sun or SGI machines here in the EU that I don't know about.
