For those who work in UNIX based systems…is there a market out there to buy large systems?
The school I work at has a large unix based system they use for ticketing at their theatre. They want to get rid of it and install a windows system. However, they bought the unix system for $50K.
So can someone help with a couple options. Could the system be put up on EBAY? Or are their retailers out there who would buy it?
Any help is appreciated…
There is a secondary market for Unix systems. You do in fact see them from time to time on Ebay, and I’ve seen web sites offerring them for sale.
You can sell it on EBay but the value is probably only a fraction of what was paid for it. Still, that is probably better than nothing.
What kind of boobs want to replace a Unix server with Windoze?
Urban - The kind that are using a cheaper windows system called Raiser’s Edge…For corporate fundraising.
I just want to know where to get rid of the Unix system…for any price.
I’ll take iit off your hands for a few hundred bucks 
In all seriousness though the best bet would be to try either ebay or a UNIX enthusiasts USENET group or Message Board.
I tried searching for a usenet group of only unix peoples… Does anyone have a specific one? Link?
Try this Link for a small list.
