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?]

Ultra 10s can't even be given away these days. I have 2 just sitting on my Desk

If only you lived in Sweden then, and within pick-up distance, I might be able to snag one off of you. Unfortunately, the Atlantic Ocean makes that a hassle.

I don't mean any offense by this, because you clearly had good intentions, but it seems like how a lot of retro-computing conversations go. "I'd like to pick up X hardware, I live in Y, how much should I pay?" "I have X, but don't live in Y." But I do, so what do I do?

I see it this way: you can get one from the other side of the world if you pay the shipping costs. So if you're trying to get one locally, it should be cheaper than that. Also I confirm people sem a bit too enthusiastic about donating me sparc hardware and getting rid of it

These machines weigh about as much as a boat anchor. I recently picked up an absolutely pristine Ultra 5 for exactly 100 EUR. Unless it's possible to ship something like that across the Atlantic for $120, it's still a pretty good deal. That's where I'm working from here.

An Ultra 10, by virtue of its tower case, would be even more astronomical to ship. I'd peg my personal upper limit on that to between 150 and 200 EUR. But if there's a unicorn shipping company I don't know about that can sling things over from the USA, let me know.
