A4000 motherboard, CSPPC card...: what's it worth?

[Brian]

Wouldn't think I'd ever catch myselv in advising against selling as a lot but since this is not a complete system splitting it makes more sence (even if it requiers more work). You lose the chance for top dollar on the items, especially the bigger the lot get's since you'll never reach a buyer who's looking for everything offered so they have to calculate with a potential loss and work selling some of the items further.

I'd at the very least look into repair/upgrade the PPC board becuase as a 040 board with defectinve PPC part it's not worth a great deal but pay 150-250Euro and all of a sudden you have a 7-900Euro (or more) part if sold seperatly... or possibly bundle it with the CVPPC and the SCSI adapters for an easier sale.

As it's listed right now I'd say around 750-800Euro, possibly a bit more if you find the right buyer but could also be less.

Unfortunatly you can't put a single price on every item as if it was single item's sold off of Amibay since it's sold as a unit. Yes it seller was to split the items and have the nessesary time and willing to wait for the right buyer then Amibay prices apply but if selling 30+ items as a bundle only and you won't get those amounts.

I stand with my previous posted estimate for the bundle and my recomendation of concidering splitting at least some of the more valuable items from the bundle... aswell as concidering repair/upgrade the CSPPC with a 68060 and faster PPC (a risk that could be very well rewarded).

You don'say!  I guess just adding up the numbers is just a worthless exercise in math.

If it can convince the seller of splitting the lot and sell it on AmiBay then no, else yes.

Well, rather than not helping to answer the question, what other negatives can you add to the thread?  We all need negative contributions to threads as they shows us classic examples of people's behavior that we do not want to emulate.

Pritty sure I was the first to post an answer to the actuall question "he wants to sell it as a bundle", unless you count the one million dollar post. Not only did I answer the question I also came with suggestions. Your answer set expectations that are highly unlikely to be met unless seller is willing to sell it in a different way than said, a suggestion I've made but not heard the seller be willing to do yet.

And the first to not answer the thread, but go negative; c'est la vie -- another add to the list.

And here I was thinking the exact opposite but I won't entertain this any longer.
